I just realized

So, I had a few really crappy days this week. Actually, pretty much from Friday until Wednesday. Not sure why, just one of those things. Anyway, on Tuesday at the very end of the work day, my computer stopped working. Died. Completely. I spent the entire next day getting it reloaded with all of my programs, etc. That was after spending 3 hours on the phone with Dell.

I have a back up drive that saves all of my files at the end of every day. Well, Friday I had turned off my computer for the weekend, so it never updated. Monday I was off work. Tuesday the computer died before it updated. I lost (almost) everything from Friday until Tuesday. It's like my computer just erased those days completely. Which is cool, because they sucked. Totally. But how strange is that? Bad days = erased.

The best part of all this, is *somehow* the work that I had done on Tuesday - which took me all day - was saved on the back up drive. I'm not sure how that happened, but thank you.

The other best part, since Wednesday = all good days. Awesome. :)

For this, I am thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving :)

totally random...

We've enjoyed some really beautiful days here lately. Fall is in full swing and we've had a few very sunny, very crisp days. It's lovely. My favorite time of year, really.

All this has been put me in the mood to cook. Not a mood I'm in often, so I'm trying to enjoy it. A few good recipes I've tried recently from Everyday Food are here and here. Both yummy. And easy to boot. It's so hard to find time to cook with all the busy-ness I find myself in on a regular basis. I really want to make a pie. Maybe this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, tomorrow David and I are heading up to Seattle for a anti-war rally/march. It's part school project, part curiousity, part disgust with the way things are going in the world. It should be really interesting. It will be my first political rally - so I am really looking forward to it. We're going to catch the bus up in the morning. I think the weather is supposed to be nice. :)

Well, happy Friday! Enjoy.

Oh, Frankie. You make me smile.

Fall has arrived...

And we are busy as little bees lately. All kinds of things going on.

My house is up for sale. It's time. We are busily getting Dave's house ready for us to move into. It's looking SO good. I can't wait to move. We are tiling the floors in the kitchen right now and then putting in new cabinets. Not to mention the paint and the carpet and, and, and. It's pretty fun though. I just wish I had more energy! I'll post some pics soon so you can see the progress.

Once we move in there, we'll do some touch up work on my house, but I've already put the sign up. It'll be nice to just have one house to deal with.

I also started class last night. It will take me a while to get back in the swing of things. But this class should be interesting. It's called Politics, Performance and the Public. We'll be watching films, reading plays, and following the political scene for a while. I think it will be fun.

I thought I'd leave you with a photo of me and my brother from his visit last month. Miss you already, babe.

Love.

happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, baby. You are the greatest.

a peak...

A few things I've been up to:


Just a sneak peak. More to come soon. The Magpies logo is for a pie company that makes the best homemade pies - OMG. I tried one of their raspberry pies and an apple-peach pie. To. Die. For.

I'm also working on a new side project for me and D. There will be some new things coming... Love fresh starts. Love them.

Hope your day is full of good things. Love.
