Hawboo

What does that mean? Actually, I have no idea! It was one of the word verification words that I found utterly charming and delightful. Don't ask me why but I did. It's kind of like a mixture between a sneeze and a peek a boo.

First it was a fried router and then my keyboard went out. I had to bang and jiggle the cord to make it work and then, halfway through blogging, it stopped working once again. I'm now working with a totally wireless keyboard. I wonder if I can soak in the tub and surf the net at the same time? Hmmm...don't want to even try that one. I can just imagine the headlines, "Woman fried in tub while blogging."

Since today is Thursday, I'd have to say that the biggest thing I've learned is, expect the unexpected. Enough said!

What have you learned?

What do they say...when it rains, it pours.

I don't know what I've learned lately because my brain is, currently, a jumbled mess.

'tis the season :)

There's nothing as satisfying as a computer, printer, and router doing their thing. There's nothing worse than a computer, printer, or router, doing NOTHING.

My CAPS key stopped making caps, so I popped it off and blew on it. Works fine now...if I remember to only click it on the top left corner.

Hmmm, and here i thought that "Hawboo" was some new "Boo" in your life -- either a new person or a new pet you were being affectionate with! Yeah, Life is CRAZY! I hope yours stops frying out on you so you can be around more. Miss you! Hope the job is going well!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
