Whirly Girl

Wow...what a weekend.
A ferry ride to Friday Harbor, a tea party, a birthday party (with a band!), house shopping, new friends, old friends, lots of laughter.
Back Home.
Off to Seattle, another birthday party! Fun! More old friends and new friends and friends I haven't seen in ages! What a treat.
Home today, making lists - so far I have three pages. Yikes. I have so many fun photos to post but I'm drawing a line in the sand....I GOTTA cross some stuff of the lists before I may play on the computer.
So my friends, I'm putting on my sensible shoes and hitting the road with my lists in hand, determined to create a little bit of order out of all of this marvelous chaos.
It's wild and crazy and I'm loving every second of it. My heart is so full, I'm feeling incredibly blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. In fact, I'm loving it so much I don't have much of a voice left from too much talking and laughing. I love it when that happens, it always means I had a bucket of fun.

The Learning Curve

My pal Sam is one of those brave souls that participates in the post-Thanksgiving sale mania. Lucky for me! For a small donation he picked up a lap-top for me, this was something that we've been thinking of purchasing for the last year or so...it wasn't an impulse purchase. I'm having a great time playing with the new lap-top (my old lap top was purchased in '98...you can imagine how much fun that thing is).
We have a desk-top computer that we bought three years ago, it works ok but it could use a thorough up-date I'm sure. It's been to "the shop" but I don't think they did a very good job.
Soooo...the new lap-top led to signing up for a new ISP.... the clearwire thing led to this blog..the blog led to the purchase of a digital camera. I'm starting to feel like I'm spending all of my spare time reading manuals, making notes, referring back to the manual...occasionally saying a bad word. It's all interesting but good golly miss molly..I feel like I went down the information highway without looking at the map first, it's a slippery spendy slope. I'm spending like a drunken sailor and havin' a great time doin' it.
K...gotta run...the digital camera came with three manuals loaded with information. I should read them! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Wow. Ohhh...the possibilities!
