Putz.

K. So, I know I said I would update soon, and I really had every intention to, but I wrote a whole bunch of stuff out, had some video footage posted, and wen't to save it, and the browser crashed, and *poof* everything was gone. I'm working it back up, slowly but surely, and now that I don't have school interfering with my life, I will be able to dedicate more time. I promise! I have other things coming up for the site as well, like a 30 day blog challenge to get me back in the habit of posting on a regular basis. I know you're excited, you don't have to hide it. :)

An epic of epic proportions (but not.)

So I started to write a post, but then I went back to the website to see where I had left off last time, and then I got distracted trying to add a date to all post (which I have done, success!) but now, it is 9:45, and I don’t have enough time to write out everything I had to say.  So, in regular TV fashion:


Coming up on the next episode of Jason and Amanda’s epic saga:




  • Anniversary

  • Blizzcon 2010 / California

  • Sleep Study Results

  • Phone

  • Landon’s Surgery

  • Brewfest 2010

  • Work Drama (for both of us)



Until next time (which is hopefully soon, since I have a crappy memory…)


P.S.  Enjoy the date which is now at the bottom of every post, it took me about 13 minutes to learn how to code that correctly and not break the page.  :D

Broken, broken, broken.

Sometimes I feel like I am a disaster… or a disaster maker.  Everything around me seems to be breaking lately… or just… bad things are happening, and it is driving me insane!

#1 – My phone hasn’t been working correctly for a few months.  This sucks for several reasons.  First, we’ve had to take it a Sprint repair center numerous times.  This is pretty much a hassle because you can’t just take it to a Sprint store, which happens to be across the street from us… we have to drive about seven miles to a Sprint Service center, drop it off, and leave it for an hour or more, and then drive back there.  This also sucks because they reset it, and while they back up your contacts, as does Google, they don’t back up any of your customization, which takes an hour or so to re-download everything and get it set up to almost how you had it set up before (because I always manage to miss something.)  They have replaced the battery, and this last, and final time, they told me that the software was broken.  Now, I have to wait until Tuesday to get a new refurbished phone.   I have had my phone almost 9 months, and I really hope that these issues don’t reappear on the other phone.  Grrr.

#2 – We took Landon in to see a specialist yesterday.  There’s good news and bad news.  The good news is that it may not be his hip that needs to be replaced.  The good/bad news is that it may just be his knee, which also would need surgery, but it’s only about half the cost.  The bad news is that while knee surgery may help it, it may NOT be the final surgery he would have to have, but in order for them to do hip surgery, he would need to have knee surgery anyway, due to the dynamics of him only being on three legs.  Unfortunately, down time for him would be about 6 weeks, of him not only being severely restricted in activity, but he will have to be toted around in a sling for an undetermined amount of time in that period.  I would love to have his surgery next week… but we are going out of town in October and I’d hate to leave that burden on anyone, much less my mother who will be taking care of the dogs while we are gone... and I am sure he will make it challenging for anyone who tries to get in his way, including us.  He is one of the most stubborn dogs I have ever met!

I’m sure there is more to complain about… but those were the two important things.  Tomorrow, I am going to see a sleep specialist to find out why I can’t sleep.  I’m semi-excited, but also semi-nervous because I really don’t want to be hooked up to a CPAP machine for the rest of my life.  :(  Wish me luck!
