The Computer Saga, Part I Lost Count: God Bless My Dad. I swear, this has been a pain in the everything. We tried to save the original hard drive, no go. Then he brought me a computer with a brand new hard drive, which I promptly screwed up by installed too old software. This led to complete reformatting, flowing by 2 brand new drives, and the third time I had to start over linking e-mail, setting up bookmarks, and installing all the software. To say I am tired of geek work is an understatement. But it’s working (now, cross your fingers), and I’m finishing up the software uploads, so all that’s left is the tinkering (meaning which photo of my delightful children do I choose as my wallpaper – oh wait, they are incapable of taking a decent photo together, so that shouldn’t take too long).
The Hub Turned Old!: During my sojourn, the Hub had a birthday. I won’t go into specifics on his age, but it’s up there. At least, older than me. It’s a comfort to me, really. I threw a party in his honor, which included a menu that was 90% meat. (The other 10% was cake.) I think everyone had a good time, expect my dining room, which somehow got coated in chocolate frosting. Thank heavens for Oxyclean is all I can say about that. I wasn’t too thrilled about the food fight some of the kids started – with plastic and wooden toy food for maximum damage – but at least it was in the garage and was halted as soon as it began (thanks, Mom, eternal warden of the family – you’re good).
Frozen Tundra: It snowed for 24 hours yesterday, and it looks like the Swedish Chef went crazy with the buttercream frosting all over everything. I do not live in Canada. If it didn’t make the kids so happy, I’d think it was a sign of the Apocalypse. Then again…
And let’s just take a moment to appreciate Sabrina’s artistic prowess…
