Computers, Can't Live Without Them, Can't Smash Them Against the Wall

Yes, I realize that the picture I posted has no bearing what so ever on my post subject (see title), but it is my feeble attempt to remain calm by viewing lovely art work, that's it, deep cleansing breath in . . . .
Several things are converging to spoil my remaining, lovely 2 days off from work. First, it that time of month; Second, my allergies are making me feel nauseated and dizzy; Third, My computer is/has been giving me nothing but grief when I am on-line.
Mielikki thinks it may have a lovely virus (It has never been w/out a firewall or virus protector thingy!!!!), sigh. The disc/CD/DVD drive is also broken, so yes, this means a trip to the computer fix-it shop, sigh. I hate computer withdrawls especially since I am obsessed with writting the novel(s). My mother, being the sweetie that she is offered to loan me her lap-top while mine is incarcerated. So at least I can keep writting although I won't be able to go on-line. I will admitt it,I have been a mean cruel, disloyal PC user, person, and have been brousing the MacBooks, sigh . . . ooooooh, pretty . . . I use to be a MacPerson, many years ago.
So I guess, tomorrow will be the day to take this beastie in and have it looked at knowing full well that it will be a minimum (spelling???) of 2 weeks before I can bring it home. Sigh . . .

Unrelated Topic

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with the picture it is posted with. I just thought the dragon was cute. He does too.
Anyway, this is short and sweet as I am feeling the itch to write on Mielikki and my story but I didn't want to ignore anyone in blogland either. Hope everyone's weekend went well . . .

Starry Starry Night

It won't happen again until 2287!! Mars will be so bright in the night sky (this month) that it will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye especially on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. There is also suppose to be a meteor shower later next week on the night of the New Moon, so it should be easier to view. Looking forward to the show . . .

Kilt Lifter, er, Inspector

So here is a present to any woman who enjoys the gift of kilts . . . Allow me please to quote someone who has become a dear friend over this past year:
“God created man and tupping and then to tempt us lasses more, he created the kilted plaid. Now a man will nae wear anything else beneath his plaid save what God gave him. And tupping ye see lass, is what happens when ye take pleasure in what is beneath the kilted plaid."
Ah yes the joys of a stiff er, breeze . . . I think it is time to move the lawn sprinkler, I am sure the water is good and cold! LOL . . . .
Dare I post this??? Ah, why not, it is just our imagination and us girls, right?!

Another Lazy Sunday in Scotland

The cool wind that blows off of the great North Sea is fresh with the tang of salt, musky fish, and seaweed. The mist still clings and nestles atop the rocky crags that line the shore as a pugnant breeze picks up and brings you the taste of the salt sea to your lips . . .
The gentle sound of the waves crashing against the base of the cliffs and rolling into shore soothe and lull your senses.
What's that on the horizon? Are those sails you see . . .
Could it be pirates?

Yes, I am busy writing . . . bet you can't guess where I am, lol :) Okay, so maybe you can, but can you blame me? I am lost in a world of my own making but didn't want to forget to post here as well. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday.

Me According to Mielikki

This is me according to my friend Mielikki . . . . isn't she, I mean aren't I cute???

Meme Tagged; Eight Things???

Sigh . . . just read Mielikki's post and saw that I was 'tagged' with Meme (?) and since she did buy me dinner I suppose I must co-operate . . . here goes nothing.

1. When my younger brother P. was just a wee babe and he wouldn't stop crying (he shared my room!)I tried putting him in the toybox and closing it up with him in it.

2. I wanted to grow up and be either a dancer, singer, actress, or a cowboy . . . yes you read right, a cowboy. After all, they got all the cool horses, ie: Trigger vs Buttercup. (Yes, I watched Roy Rodgers)

3. (Mielikki knows this one) My husband and I never had a formal wedding, we stood before a justice of the peace.

4. (Again, Mielikki knows this one too) I am the proud mother of a beautiful young almost 22 y/o but I never gave birth to her. I have never been able to get pregnant.

5. I was in delayed enlistment for the airforce at 18 y/o and was "let-go" because my menstral cycle was irregular (?????!!!!!!!); when given the opportunity to "correct" my answer, I didn't.

6. Saw a pickpocket at work on a bus in L.A. and was approached by a pimp to become one of his 'girls' (again @ 18)

7. I don't like onions on my burgers.

8. I use to think I was born in the wrong century. Sometimes I still do!

90% Hufflepuff vs 80% Gryffindor

The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff!

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."

Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Digory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament.
