agilebritCan I just, you know... start the day OVER?
First off, school didn't go especially well today. I had to get shouty a few times, and I hate that.
THEN I got to wrestle with my printer for over two hours trying to print out the BearFic, and the cover letter, and the labels. 31 pages of story that I can't use. Yay for wasted paper and even more yay for expensive wasted ink while I troubleshot the thing for-freaking-ever.
And then it turned out to be something weird that WordPerfect was doing. Which I thought I'd eliminated because it did the same thing when trying to print from OpenOffice. ARGH. However, it's fixed now. I can print it out and ship it off tomorrow.
AND THEN. I decided I wanted to make chocolate chip cappuchino muffins. We were out of chocolate chips. I hied me to the store to buy some. And forgot to put them in the mix.
This day sucks, man. I'm surprised I didn't have an accident or something on the way to the bank and the store today.
On the bright side, I've infested my protagonist's house with foot-long termites and had her insurance agent laugh in her face when she asked if she was covered. And I have a shitton of cheap Valentine's Day chocolate. And there's NASCAR truck racing on Fox tomorrow.
ETA: *looks entry over* You know, it doesn't really sound all that bad. I'm just...incredibly frustrated right now. It's like the whole day has just gone "pick pick pick" at me.

Date: 2008-02-29 12:22 am (UTC)BTW: Any chance of getting that chocolate chip cappuchino muffins recipe? I totally blame my coffepot for this, as I'm currently experiencing a coffee-buzz.
Oh yeah- Even though I haven't caught up yet on LJ I saw your Adam Baldwin (Chuck) icons I'll probably snag when I get there. They're awesome and I still haven't figured out how to make icons yet. In fact I don't have the right program either.

Date: 2008-02-29 12:32 am (UTC)Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2 cups flour (I use whole wheat flour, cuz that's how I roll)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp instant coffee (either regular or decaf--I use decaf at night)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil OR applesauce (IMO, the applesauce gives it better consistency)
1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients and set aside. In a larger bowl, beat the milk, egg, and applesauce. Mix together, then add the choc chips (don't overbeat). Spoon into greased or lined muffin tins, bake for 18-20 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test. Makes 8-12 muffins.
Enjoy!
For icons, I use Paint Shop Pro 8, which I picked up on eBay for something like $25, shipped.
