What I really did on my day off on Friday
Feb. 28th, 2009 02:16 pmThanks for voting in the pole. I had a great day off.
It was raining like crazy so unfortunately Dusty didn't get her walk. I did go to the mall and I bought new bras. On the way back to the house I bought the makings for the slow cooker pineapple upside down cake.
I mixed up the cake and got it going then watched two Doctor Who episodes called the Pirate Planet(classic with Tom Baker) that I have on the PVR. BBC Canada Kids is playing them in the middle of the night. These episodes were written by Douglas Adams of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fame. I have a whole batch left to watch.
I downloaded some cool software called Shape Collage , an automatic picture collage maker, and made some new headers for my LJ. If you want to see them and don't want to keep pressing F5 you can see them here at
graphics_stuff. I highly recommend this applicaton. I also made a couple of icons for a couple of contests.
We watched an episode of Angel on DVD during dinner (homemade pizza). After dinner I wrote up the icon tutorial for
supplyship then we watched Dollhouse while we tested the cake. Actually the cake tested us and it was so horrible, we threw it out. And over the course of the day, two postings to
graphics_stuff.
Didn't clean out the fridge or clean the floors but did that today. Successful and relaxing day off. My life is pretty boring and I don't really mind :D

The pineapple upside down cake was a failure unfortuantely. However, we have a book with other cake recipes for the slow cooker so might try again. Look here are a bunch more :D (http://busycooks.about.com/od/crockpotcakes/Crockpot_Cakes_Slow_Cooker_Cake_Recipes.htm).
