Okay, a little more snow fell last night. Just in time for my mother’s Birthday Eve! Happy Birthday Eve, Mom! Gosh, I’ve been watching a lot more television this month than I was for a few months there last fall. I am kind of disappointed with this. I was thinking of cancelling all the satellite [...]

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good…

I can’t believe I didn’t write again last week. Sometimes I’m just so lazy… but then again, last week felt pretty short. But to stay on the politics thing for just a wee bit longer, I’m so very happy with President Obama (god, I love saying that) and the things he’s done in office so [...]

Well, today we have a new President. I’d say more, but I think the internet is sagging under the weight of talky bloggers talking about it (waxing not-so-lyrically poetic and gushing big drippy tears of happiness), and I don’t have anything to add that can’t be inferred from other things I’ve written.

My new laptop shipped yesterday, and FedEx says it’s on track to be delivered tomorrow. But I didn’t know that FedEx delivered to residences on Saturdays, so I chose to have it delivered to work, which won’t be open tomorrow. I’m confused.

A Long Weekend Made Longer
January 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Endless Blathering
Ahh, finally: my laptop is back, repaired, in my hands, on its dock, feeling fine. The motherboard came in on Friday afternoon, but the repair guy wasn’t around so I spent the WHOLE WEEKEND not working on stuff that I thought I would be working on. The whole weekend.
