Another reason I love the library

Well, the Schmidt's PC will be down for at least 3-5 more days, the Geek at Geek Squad seemed to think it was the power supply. Unfortunately they do not have any power supply whatchamadinkies in stock at our local store, so I offered to run to another store and pick one up in order to expedite the process. I will be making a trip to the hood later today to purchase said power supply, oh the things I will do for connection to the outside world...

On a positive note, during this downtime I remembered our friendly Hennepin County Library has oodles of computers with the Internet so I can have some interaction and check in on my blog friends. I was able to come in and fix a horrible spelling error from my last blog which bothered me all last night. I put another "m" in commission and am feeling much better now.

Ah, yes. The library. I spent two months on those computers, while we were waiting for our household goods to arrive from Deutschland. I learned every trick imaginable in regard to getting a time slot, keeping a computer longer than an hour and even covertly kicking the gaming teenager off the adult computers. I imagine I'll be doing that again in a couple of months, and I'm glad you have the option. We missed you last week!

I didn't notice the spelling error, but also have lost sleep over spelling or the wording of a phrase.

i was wondering what kind of magic was making those blog posts show up....the library!

i'm so glad for the internet, where horrid typos can be fixed. especially after YEARS as a print designer, where you ARE STUCK with the mistake forever. and also stuck with the wrath of the client.

life is good now.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

What's your playlist?

Over the holidays I began the task of cleaning out my iPod. Some of the music I am proud to say I listen to and then there are the cringe worthy tunes I am too embarrassed to admit. In all there are 2,789 songs on my iPod (down from 3,643). I am amazed, how could I possibly listen to or know nearly 4,000 songs? Obviously the iPod has taken on a life of its own. While scrolling through the bazillion songs I began to think about all of these Celebrity playlists out on iTunes which are supposed to define who the person is in song and how the music shaped their lives. Some of the lists are lame and try to make the person sound more interesting and deeper than who they really are. Other lists have introduced me to music I would have never listened to before which I love, plus they sometimes give you a glimpse to moments in their lives. I am going to give my non-celebrity, hopefully non-lame playlist a shot. Thanks for letting me indulge. Here is my life (so far) in song: Dancing Queen - AB
