time, that is. how is it one minute till midnight? i don’t know. when you read this it’ll say it’s thursday, but it’s really still wednesday night. later and later.
i feel like i’ve accomplished nothing today, but i know i got millions of little things done.
and also…yesterday we got two CD’s of photos from my uncle jimmy.
we couldn’t look at them on my laptop, because it’s not working.
we put the first cd into kevin’s computer (although technically it’s OUR computer now).
the computer froze up.
we tried again, and yet again.
see, the photos are ENORMOUS. taken with a very fancy camera, and the images were just too big for our old computer that kevin thinks he bought in 2000, which of course makes it prehistoric.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO SEE THE PHOTOS? i asked.
today we bought a new computer.
i looked at the photos tonight, and many of them are dazzling.
DAZZLING.
but i don’t have the right thing installed to print them the way that is easiest and best. the disc is…where is the disc? it’s somewhere in this office. it’s not a very big office, but it’s remarkably easy to lose things in it.
my husband will find the disc tomorrow, because the last time it was seen, he installed it in his old computer.
there are also plenty of other things that have to be transferred to this brand-spanking-new computer. all kinds of stuff, including the software to download the HAWAII PICTURES.
it’ll happen. i’m attempting to be all zen-like and patient and all of that.
when in reality, of course, i’m saying I WANT EVERYTHING TO WORK RIGHT NOW!
i made lots of peanut butter chocolate chips cookies tonight. lots and lots of them. for the halloween party.
the wedding taught me that you can freeze almost anything and you can defrost it and it’ll be delicious.
for example, i froze several loaves of french bread for the rehearsal dinner, and we didn’t use one loaf, so i froze it again and took it out after the honeymoon. it was delicious. consumed immediately.
freezing, it’s a wonderful thing.
BUT NOT FREEZING WEATHER.
oh yeah, it’s turned bleak and grey and cold here. not freezing cold, but it feels like it after all the warm weather we’ve been having.
this morning when i got up i think it was 50. it’s supposed to be something like 38 tonight. high in the 50’s tomorrow. there was a brief moment of sunny skies today, but only a brief one.
windy. grey. cold. i told kevin i want to move to hawaii. he agreed, wholeheartedly.
if we’re going to move there, first we’ll have to get fabulously wealthy. i’m not sure how to go about this. crappy little houses in kauai are going for half a million dollars.
we could live in an RV. we didn’t see many RVs in hawaii. you wouldn’t really think there would be any RVs there, would you? kevin did see one, in somebody’s driveway. where on earth do they go in it? around and around the island, of course. how did they get it there?
i think it would cost a lot to ship an RV to hawaii.
but probably cheaper than buying a house.
there’s also the issue of mollie and winnie and honey. how would they get there? we wouldn’t want to make them fly. hmm, i don’t recall hearing about cruises to hawaii.
so many things to think about.
meanwhile, i have a halloween party to get ready for. how will the house ever be clean by then? we don’t even have any empty room to stuff things into.
we watched “this is spinal tap” last night. it was funny, not as funny as i remembered, but very funny.
i must turn off this computer. right now.
ok then, goodnight,
grace late on wednesday night but maybe i’ll stay up till my husband gets home, which is only a little more than an hour from now. except i AM very very tired. but it’s just a little more than an hour. i could, for excample, write some more thank-you cards.
there are going to be SO MANY photos up here very soon. very very soon.
