Yes, despite his major character flaw that I thought would be a deal breaker, I do indeed love my new laptop.
It’s a Champagne Sony Vaio CR203E. It was on its way out, with new, bigger, and shinier models coming int to take the spotlight, but despite the fact he was picked up at a [...]
Merry Christmas to me!
I just got a new laptop! Yippee! Reduced for quick sale floor model, it has everything I want except for the awful Vista operating system. But I guess I can live with that, especially for the price I got.
My most important criteria was the keyboard, which meant I was looking primarily at [...]
Ack! My vacation is half over! Quick! Hurry up and relax!
I hope everyone had a good Christmas, assuming that is the holiday you celebrate. I’m going to try and stay away from the computer again today.
We’ll see how that goes.
As I promised mysef, I’ve been reading when I haven’t been baking, and in the past day I finished an excellent mystery Bangkok 8 and then read an excellent supernatural fantasy Kitty and the Silver Bullet. As usual, links to the reviews are on the sidebar.
Now I have to figure out what I’m going to [...]
This was my Dad’s requested recipe this Christmas. It originally came from one of his aunts (all long dead), so I feel perfectly safe posting it.
This is half the recipe. Last year I made the whole recipe and I thought we’d never get rid of all the cookies–my Dad’s favorite or not. I also [...]
My goal for the next two days is to be a baking fool (now that I have a dishwasher! Yippee!)
Wish me luck!
Also, for anyone in town? This is a good time to stop by out of the blue and visit.
I received 70 credits on

I’ve been having strange dreams recently. Well, that’s nothing unusual, since between my imagination and the anti-depressants, I’m used to strange dreams.
What I mean is that I’ve been having strange dreams for me.
For the past week I have been having unusually violent dreams, where the protagonist (sometimes me, but not always–about half my dreams seem [...]

Now I want to watch Firefly again.
Inara: Maybe you should think twice about letting go of Saffron. You two sound like quite a match.
Mal: Maybe you’re right. Maybe we’re soul mates.
Inara: Yes, great. I wish you hundreds of fat children.
Mal: Could you imagine that? Me with [...]
My idea of what I was going to do this morning:

What actually happened this morning:
Get up
Take Michael to work
Run by my office to pick up power supply for PDA that I forgot to take home last night
Eat breakfast
Get kitchen ready for new dishwasher after [...]
I am disappointed to report that Andy did NOT read “Moo Baa La La La” aloud during the party. However, Heather (his wife) assures me that he will be made to do so.
Heh.
Next year? Dr Seuss. Especially the ones with the tongue twisters.
VACATION!
(throws papers in the air and runs out the door)
That’s right! I’m on vacation until the 7th of January!
(happy dance)
I’m gonna read and bake and read and relax and read and get a massage and read and play on the computer and read and… I dunno… maybe I’ll read some.
YIPPEE!
I’ve been doing minor work on the website (as you may have noticed, when the sidebar kept getting error messages).
Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain. All is well.
I’m also working on updating my blogroll. I’ve had some down time to read around recently, so I added some sites I’ve been checking regularly. [...]
How is it that within the course of a few hours, my knowledge of web design can make me feel like a total genius and then like a total idiot.
Someone at work wanted advice on setting up an on-line survey. Yesterday I was able to explain to him what he’d need to do using HTML [...]
Went looking for a birthday book for a friend’s child’s first birthday this year, and I have to say that although some of the possibilities looked abysmal (Pet the different parts of the dog and don’t pull his ears? Ugh.) There’s something about Sandra Boynton that I can’t resist.
We actually had trouble deciding which [...]
Whether we wanted it or not, Michael and I get a new dishwasher for Christmas.
Take home lesson:
Don’t by a GE dishwasher unless you think that replacing the pump after three years, and then having the replacement pump go bad in three months do to a previously unnoticed leak is okay.
We’re going with a Kitchen Aid [...]
