Because you just can't get enough of him

It's been a rough week work-wise. Nothing major, just the little stuff that gets under your skin. I've been trying to write a post but everything seems to come out negative and gets scratched. So as normally happens when I'm staring at the blank blogger template, I get distracted and wander off clicking buttons. I clicked on Picasa and found all the old photos from my old blog. Eureka! I thought they were gone forever. I'd gone rooting around the old archives for something the other day and noticed many of the pictures were missing. I wondered about it for a while. I eventually chalked it up to the hatchet job I did on my hard drive awhile back. It was a lame attempt to get better performance out of this box. Two perfect examples of how limited my understanding is of all things computer. Have I mentioned lately I worked in IT for 20 years?




We've been trying to spend more time with the ladies. There getting to the point where they're communicating their discomfort. They're needy emotionally. (I'm laughing at myself) Above is Belle & Bess last year before we got the billy. Poor Mr. Deeds just tries to stay out of their way now. I just went outside and took the pictures below. They weren't really cooperating. I can't imagine why, poor things. They're due March 3rd.





OK, off to find something more productive to do before I get sucked into the computer for hours.

Lolli Google

I was sitting at the computer blogging and Lolli sent this Google Earth shot. That's our driveway with the house unseen to the right. I like the surreal, fuzzy look. Too bad it doesn't look this way down here on the ground.

Now go on, read the next post.

I Need To Be Sent To My Room

I wanted to post yesterday but I've had a bad case of the snarkies so I thought it best to keep my thoughts to myself. I'm snarky because of minor work crap so it's no biggee. It's just that I've been bleating like a pregnant goat at dinner time for over a year now that our service department is broken. Well, the proverbial fecal matter is hitting the air handling device. But I'm not one for I-told-you-so's.

That's a bald face lie. I'm SO not above saying that.
