Yes, I AM an idiot

Okay, so the wishblade has been driving me NUTS.  I finally called Ellen, and she was helping me….

I felt SO STUPID… the FIRST rule, well, maybe the second, is TRY A DIFFERENT FILE!!!!!  Thankfully, I did think to do this on my own, and it worked.  The file I was working with was corrupted.  I probably did not need to reinstall as many times as I did, but oh well… it just happened after maybe 5 or 10 minutes of her helping me.  It was nice to talk to  her though :).  I should call more often (but she should call me, too!  She never has though, so I should be used to that after, what, 23 years of friendship?  I was always the one who did the calling.  Used to make mom mad)

So the wishblade seems to be working.  I’m putting a new file together, and HOPING it’s not the blasted font or something causing it… it takes SO long to put the files together, it’s a real PITA.  If this fails to cut this time, I’m going to be VERY mad.    I am thinking I will wait til my new blades get here, because then I won’t have to cut three times to get through the paper.  I think I ruined the last blade with some different Bazzill that didn’t need to be cut twice, so it went through the paper, and got ruined on the cutting mat… doubt that makes any sense, but let’s just say I dulled the blade by accident, now it doesn’t cut properly.  I was thinking it was time for a new blade anyway.  I like to replace them fairly regularly, because I don’t like dealing with dull blades.
