Hello

Cheapy and Cheaty.. that’s me.

February 3, 2009

That’s Max walking to school yesterday. He survived beautifully of course and has another ‘best friend’ already. Phew!

That’s a wasp in the pumpkin flower above Max. You’ll be pleased to know that the garden is doing well, except for the 4 plants that the dogs dug up this morning. They are not doing well. The dogs were not doing well after that either. They were locked up with some stern words until I got back from school and cleaned up the mulchy, dirty, planty mess.

Above that are some bikes that were parked outside The Napier Hotel last night. So many people ride EVERYWHERE in Fitzroy. It’s amazing. It looked like a bike shop outside the pub. Max and Ari played pool. Ari didn’t get mad, for once. We ate snacky things and drank cool drinks and cheered the pool players on.

Now.. my printer is spoozing out and won’t print my labels. Sigh. What is it with printers? They are so useful and stupid, aren’t they? I think it’s because I put in a cheaper, fuller rogue cartridge. That’ll teach me. Cartridge adulterer that I am. I deserve a bung printer. Cheater. But the other cartridges are SOOOOO much cheaper. I like cheap things.

Hope you guys are good today… I’m listening to last.fm and ticking stuff off the list, as usual!

xx Pip

    Yes printers are SO fickle! And especially when you try to be sneaky and put in a cartidge that isn’t an original. They always know.

    Glad the printer came through….
    They are soooo finicky – the magic machines that they are:) I still enjoy watching it work – back and forth – while the image forms.

    aaah the rogue cartridge strikes again…there’s nothing wrong with them of course…it’s just a plot by the printer makers to get more moula…they’re primed to have a little tanty…hope it’s settled down now…

    Sounds like a nice day. I know the love hate relationship with technology – saves time then uses up a lot when it’s not working!

    hooray for Max! Great job but no surprise you sent him off equiped with all he needed.
    Perhaps if you fed the printer to the dogs everyone could be happy.
