A Quantum Leap

Hey kids!!

I have a computer again!

I guess you didn't know that I didn't have one, so let me explain quickly:

Scout, my beloved lap top of 4/5 years was feeling sluggish, so I sent him to see MPC and MPC killed him.

Ok, didn't really killed him, but in the process of re-installing Windows, ran into a few problems.

Good news, Scout is back, a little different, and much faster than it's been in a very long time.

We are very happy to be back into each others arms, or fingers to keyboard as it is.

Now that I have a working computer again, I will try to update more frequently. I need to share news/events and happenings of my very uneventful life with you all!

5 Golden Rings

I am really, really, really hoping for a white Christmas. If the weather doesn't cooperate with us I may go Bing Crosby on everyone.

That would not be a pretty picture.

I hope you all are having a great holiday season!

I can't wait to be back in the mitten state (the real mitten state, don't even try Wisconson)!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a GREAT year!!!!!!!

"Would it be indecent to ask the grandparents to stay at a hotel? "

Oh, hello there!

Yes, I know, it's been a while.

It's holiday time and once again I am going crazy. I truly, truly hate my job this time of year. I just don't understand people fascination with big city shopping and dealing with crowds. Thank God for the internet, now, I can be a recluse and do my Christmas shopping!

One day I will figure out how to be a proper hermit...


In other news, Chicago has remained dry and fairly warm so far this winter, meaning it doesn't really feel like Christmas is coming even though the calender says so.

I just need to get through the holidays. I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a great year! Especially when my life can get back to normal!!!!!!!


Until then, this is me:

To send me a Joe with winter and snow in his heart...

Big City Living

I think MPC is trying to kill me, he made me borrow and ride a bike yesterday and now I want to die. My butt hurts so much. It makes me so grateful to have a job that requires standing instead of sitting.

The good news from this adventure is that we got to take in the lake front and ride the bike trail from my apartment all the way to Navy Pier, which was very cool. It's so pretty. I can't believe July is nearly over and soon fall and winter will be here.

Vault 687

Today I went to see the final Harry Potter and now I am so thoroughly depressed that the HP books and movies are done that I am watching a marathon of all the movies from the beginning.

It's going to be a long night...

Sunburns and sunglasses

Summer is really here! I love it! I can't believe the city is finally warm again! I actually have a tiny bit of a tan! Ok, it's more like a burn/glow thing going on, but I will take what I can get!

Have you all seen this? I love editing my photos there! It's free and AMAZING!!!!!!

Have you all been by to visit my new home? If you haven't, you should. I am having a great time sharing new photos on a daily basis!

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July! I spent my day at the beach. It was heavenly!

Happy July!!!!!!
