Let Me Explain . . . .



Yes, Blog More!!!! Of course one must keep in mind that . . . .

Firstly, I am not as prolific as Meilikki.
Second, I have just ended a 3 week run of a hellish work schedule and unlike my dear friend M. I do not blog when it is a workday/night. (Okay, there was a rare exception that one night I blogged from work . . . .
Thirdly, I made a long visit to my new chiropractor today, ran errands, and visited the folks (I haven't been there in weeks)
Sigh . . . I am tiring myself out again! But I am free for a few days from all cares and woes . . . yes, that means I shall blog tomorrow.
At least I hope to . . . . gads! What if I can't think of a thing to say!! Never you say???
Well, you would be right!!

Here is some good news . . .
My husband & I shall get to meet the "Mustang Man" of M's this Saturday at the Car Show. I shall practice my writing skills and give all of you an indepth, unbias report on Sunday!!!!! Perhaps even snag a picture of them both . . . now where did I put that camera???


By the way, Mac says, "Thanks for the warm welcome!"

Just Me and My Mac



Firstly, I apologize for my absence . . . you see I have a new computer in my life. I went and did it, I sprang for a new laptop. A lovely, fast, and sleek MacBook Pro. Sigh . . . . it was love at first sight! Mac was my first love with computers you see and well, it was meant to be.
I am going to take in my PC Laptop and have the CD/DVD disc drive replaced (it is soooo broken) and have them de-bug it if possible. I think it got a virus that nearly has all the on-line communication shutdown. If they can't then I will wipe it (the hard-drive) clean and start from scratch. Then I will have 2, PC and MAC, the best of both worlds. that way too I won't have to replace all my games etc.

I am learning the system faster than I thought, it has been about seven years since I last had a Mac. I have to admitt, I have missed it. It is nice not to have to worry about soooo many viruses, spyware, and all the software to prevent it!

Anyhow . . . . I have no excuses now about blogging . . .

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 . . .
