So close!! I have one more day... and 3 songs left. I wanted to continue but, between bowling yesterday and flinging my arms around, my shoulders are shot. The songs that are left are 2 and 3 star songs so I should be able to beat them. I just might complete my mission after all.
I know I'm a little late in the game in hating on Office 2007. At work we use 2003 but that will soon change. At home, it's installed but I haven't used it much. Lately, I've been using it a lot. Prepare. for. some. nerd. rage.
I realize that Microsoft tried to reinvent the wheel. That they are supposedly "preparing for touch screens" so that's why they have implemented ridiculously huge buttons at the top of the screen. They lovingly refer to it as "the ribbon". I like to refer to it as "the thing that is going to confuse everyone at work and make my life hell". Tonight I tried to use "the ribbon" and I got the following problem pop up.
Before I dive into, let it be known that there might very well be an explanation for this error. But it sure as hell ain't logical! I am creating something for the wedding... and it needed to be in landscape format. So... I used "the ribbon" and clicked on the "Page Layout" tab and then on "Orientation". I proceeded to select Landscape and as you can see by the orange-ness of Landscape it IS selected. The page flipped inside the little window... and I thought everything was gravy.
It WAS all gravy until I decided to print and got this...
Hmm... not exactly what I was going for. I clicked on Page Setup (like you would in the old/good version) and saw the following.
Yeah, I know, right? That makes TOTAL sense. It is completely logical that the "ribbon" button wouldn't talk to the same setting in another window. I mean, when I clicked on the Orientation button and selected Landscape... I was just kidding. I didn't mean it. I really wanted my page to read "HAN" instead of "THANK". That'll do little crap software, that'll do.
Ian's mom, Maureen, had a watermelon sitting on her kitchen counter that no one seemed to want to eat. So Ian and I jokingly suggested she should carve it for Halloween. Meet Mr. Watermelkin.
Ian and I had our wedding cake consultation tonight at The Cake Box. We discussed the design of the cake - really happy what we came up with. Best part is... we left with 6 cupcakes to try some of the different flavors. Delicious. Our decision... or semi-decision has been made. Not telling.
Butterscotch
Lemon
Strawberry Vanilla
Red Velvet
Cookies n' Cream
Raspberry Vanilla
As we were leaving, Ian pointed this cake out to me. Pretty funny, given my recent awesome birthday present from my mom.
After being sidelined for more than a month with an illness... I've gotten back to this mission. Just a refresher - Mission: Game Over is my quest to complete We Cheer by the time the sequel comes out. The release date for it is November 3rd. So... 9 days to beat the rest of the game... I don't know. I'm going to try. I'll probably get the new one at a later date.
Below is what I have left to do. Mostly hard mode of some of the more advanced songs. Today I unlocked the last 2 songs... Footloose is my new favorite song to do.
I don't think I need to "reconnect" with him when he is sitting next to me on the couch. We're doing wedding stuff together.
My simple teach-myself-to-embroider project is finished. I added my name at the top... I think it turned out pretty cute. I have a few more ideas to try... it's something to do as Ian and I sit here watching football. **Note to self: Needles are dangerous when you are screaming and jumping for some wide receiver to run faster.
