I'm Back!

After having the hard drive replaced, I picked up my computer from Mac Force, excited to be reunited with my missing limb. I was so sad to discover that they had restored it to the "factory settings," which meant that the Leopard operating system I had upgraded to just weeks after getting my computer was not re-installed. This would not have been that big of a problem, except for that after moving and not even remotely quite being done unpacking I had no idea where that damn little disc was stored. I could not do anything on my computer besides access the internet before installing the new OS, or else I would lose it all again when I upgraded. So, a mission to clean and reorganize the garage was bumped to the top of the "to do" list! The disc was found, the garage was mega decluttered (aka: gigantic Goodwill drop-off), and now I am a happy girl. My computer is all back to new, and totally functional once again! :) What a relief... I really don't like being behind, though, and that is exactly how I have been feeling lately. There are many blog posts that have been waiting until I could download my pictures (which I *just* did!), dates I want to make with people that have been put off until I could get my calendar up and running again, and projects I have been sitting on that required this or that program on my computer. Well, I'm no longer waiting, now I just have to get caught up!!

And here, a small gesture to cheer you up, our giraffes:
