Animoto Montage
This is a video I made using Animoto, a site that professionally makes slideshows using your pictures and music. Just giving it a test run. JCMU 2004 montage, anyone?
Registries
Well, Kelly and I have started it. We have begun registering for our wedding. Deciding to forgo any fancy fripperies like fine china, we decided to focus on the essentials at Bed Bath & Beyond. It took two hours, and we only got through the bathroom and kitchen stuff. That is to say, no bedding and no dining wares.
Wow.
Well, if you are curious, interested, or just want to buy me a gift, check it out, here is our BB&B Registry. We also plan to register for Fiesta Ware at Kohls. If you have ever eaten at TGI Friday's and gotten a red dish, that's Fiesta Ware.
I think that's enough links for the day. In unrelated news, I also upgraded my phone with the New Every Two plan on Verizon. I got the enV, which, since I am sick of making links, I will allow you to look up at your leisure.
Coin Counting
Check out the Great Pyramids of Change!
Kelly has had a giant Coca Cola bottle for the past few years. Every time she came home with silver change in her possession, it went in to the Coca Cola Bank. Likewise, bills intermittently arrived as well.
Finally, after Kelly and I have assiduously (fun word) added more and more change to the behemoth bank, it was filled. I dragged it out into the living room and unceremoniously gutted it like a fish. Except that this fish was filled with a plentiful bounty that would keep me laughing -- laughing all the way to the bank!
We counted the bills -- it was $302 on just that alone!
We separated the change -- a good sign, the largest pile by far was quarters. Over the course of the next week, including time spent hitting the local banks and dollar stores for coin rolls, the rolling was complete.
We have $1800 from that bank, if I add in one little dollar.
Moral of this story: save your change, kiddies; it adds up!
