Concert Anyone?
Who wants to go to the Black Eyed Peas (plus Ludacris and LMFAO) concert with me in Kansas City March 24? Should be some amazing performances!

Boxes and Bags in the Dining Room
No takers on the wedding DVDs yet? Come on, Nathan did a really good job. The bag of unsold DVDs is sitting on a small table in my dinning room waiting for you to buy its contents.
There are a lost of boxes in my dining room right now. Two large boxes came archival storage companies. One really large box is for my wedding dress, which I finally had cleaned last week. Apparently there is a mystery stain on the back that they could not get out. The stain is not really a different color, it just has a different sheen than the rest of the satin the dress is made out of. Oh well. Who knows if I will wear it again, and if I do I will just make sure the lighting is dim so the stain isn't obvious. The good thing about the stain is that the dry cleaner let me out of my $90 cleaning bill. Sweet ... except part of me wonders if he didn't mess up and then felt bad so didn't charge me. Whatever, can't change anything now.
The other archival boxes are for items I picked up when my grandma Schrag moved to the Salem Home last year. She had some memorabilia from her and my grandpa's younger days. I spent a couple nights last week organizing the bag she gave me and found a bunch of old report cards, special event invitations, diplomas, etc. One of the most interesting pieces was a handmade rainbow themed program from my grandma's Freeman Academy Junior/Senior banquet and a paper cup and tissue paper handmade flower object. It looked like it might have been a pre-dinner treat holder. Cute.
The last box is from our new computer. Jeremy came back this past Thursday from a two-week stint in St. Jo, MO at the ICM pilot scale plant. He brought back another computer. It's really getting out of control in our house now with all the computers! Every time there is a used computer auction at Jeremy's work, he comes home with something new. There is a desktop in the basement, which does not get much use. There is a desktop and a laptop in the office, as well as two monitors. I have a laptop. There is a desktop in the living room. Now we have a sixth computer.
This new computer was built by one of Jeremy's coworkers as a wedding present and it is crazy. It has over 2 TB of memory, a blue-ray player and burner, as well as normal CD and DVD capabilities. It has ports for every type of card and drive out there and a silly, fast, hot processor. It has four of five fans working to keep it cool enough and an LCD display on the front of the CPU that monitors the temperature at different parts within the CPU. That scares me a little. I don't want my house to burn down. Oh, all these computers. Cracks me up.

Wedding DVDs
Christmas was good. I went back to SoDak around Christmas and it snowed and blew for most of the five days I was there. Every time we wanted to drive somewhere it was like gambling. We could get clear the roads to get out, but were never sure if we could get back home again.
Over the holiday my cousin, Nathan, gave me the Schrag/Javers wedding DVD he made. He gave me a few extra to try to sell, so this is my sales pitch: They cost $20 (all going to Nathan), which is very reasonable considering the amount of time he put into the project. He used some computer software and his own smarts to make them very clever and professional. I think they are pretty entertaining. Seriously, I'm not just saying that because I was in the wedding. Let me know if you want a DVD and I will do my best to get one to you.
