Summer...How I love thee

Wow, it has been awhile since my last post! Anyways...
We went to the pool today. It is quite hot, which in turn makes the pool water around 80 degrees, i think. So, we only stayed for an hour...but I got quite sunburnt! It is like 110 heat index....very HOT!
We leave next Thursday on the motorhome, so hopefully I can blog more then. I guess my life just hasn't had much excitement lately :p
Have a great summer day, peeps

Sooooooo......

We had this huge thunderstorm last night..There was basball sized hail about 45 minutes away, and a tornado touched down there, too! Scary, Scary!
My grandparents flew in last night, well this morning...Jen and Dad got home with them around 2, I think. I was long asleep. Ha ha...
Annnnnnnnnnd, we got some really good deals at Kohls yesterday. Every year they have the patriotic shirts for 5 dollars. So, we need clothes, and we went. Well, my Mom had a 30% off coupon, so we got each shirt for $3.50! Prettttty cool, huh?
Off to make biscuits and gravy for the grandparents!

FOUND THE NEW LOOPHOLE!!!!!!!

Okay, so thanks to whiteboyz59 on YouTube, I figured out that if you
Go to Control Panel (Then classic view if using Vista)
Click on 'Folder Options'
Then click on the 'View' tab.
Uncheck "Hide extentions for known file types"
Check "Show hidden files and folders"
Then....to make the ringtone.. (It doesn't matter if you bought it from Apple or not)
1. Right click on the song you want in iTunes,
2. Click 'Get Info'
3. Click on the 'Options' tab
4. Select your start and stop time (Type in what part of the song you want your ringtone to be)
5. Click 'OK'
6. Then, right click on the song you are using and click 'Create AAC Version'
7. When that finishes, repeat steps 1-3 on the orginal song and uncheck the start and stop times.
8. Make a folder in 'My Documents' called "Iphone Ringtones"
9. Click on the shorter song (the one you made AAC) and drag it to your folder you just made.
10. Right click on the file and click 'Rename'
11. Change the '.m4a' to '.m4r' therefore making it a ringtone. (It will say 'Changing the file may cause the file to become unusable. Do you want to continue?' You click 'yes)
12. Go back to iTunes and delete the song you just moved. Click 'Move to Recycle Bin' because you don't need it anymore.
13. Click on your 'Ringtones' tab in iTunes.
14. Drag the newly made ringtone from your 'iPhone ringtone' folder into iTunes.
15. Plug in your iPhone and in the ringtones tab click 'Sync all ringtones'
Your ringtone is now on your phone!

Enjoying this thing called Summer

I have been playing Sly3, and am now 49% done! :)
I made an awsome Vanilla Latte today..Thanks to Alton Brown's show on Espresso :)
Many of you have updated to iTunes 8.2, but if you haven't and you have iPhone....DON'T UPDATE! You won't be able to make free ringtones! Apple found the loophole everyone was using to make them for free, and Apple fixed it! Now, I updated without thinking and my free ringtone days are gone :(



the iPhone 3G S, in my opinion is a waste of money to upgrade to! The only differences are the video camera and landscape keyboard for a few more apps, voice dialer (the free app vlingo does the same thing) and spotlight to search the whole phone. Oh, and it's 16 or 32 GB, but really the more stuff you have on a phone/ipod/computer..the more it slows it down :)
So, those of you in the market for an iPhone, I'd save the 100 bucks and go with the now $99 3G! :)
Those are my thoughts for the day..
