DD phoned home
:DDD just phoned home to say she will arrive at local pick-up site about 6:45. :Excited: She sounded extremely wired and happy. Wanted me to say hi to the piano then the dog. I figured that would be in reverse order. :rolleyes: Anyway I was so happy to hear her voice and can not wait to squeeze the stuffings out of her first chance I get. :eek: :o :D She told me one tidbit from the trip and admitted she had lots more to tell me. Is it 6:45 yet? :Excited: :D :Excited: :D :Excited:

I live in the jungle, honey! Macs are heavy suckahs, and the international shipping, plus taxes and import duties are totally prohibitive... if I could even FIND some poor soul willing to undertake such a task......... (I brought mine in on Continental Airlines, as luggage, lol) I think I am one of only a handful of people in the entire country of Belize with a Mac... it's as rare as a Jaguar... wait, I meant the car, there's REAL jaguars here, seriously !! and there's not exactly electronics stores around here... well, there IS one in the Mennonite village, over the river, (on the hand-cranked ferry), and through the woods, an hour away. lol, Wiz, they even have paved ROADS there, it's sorta exciting to visit "civilization" when we go to get sacks of animal feed each month. but they (The Computer Ranch) have only 2 computers in stock (used) for $1,000 bucks each, and they ain't Macs. *sniffle-sniffy-sniff* *********************************************** however... they DID have a little Toshiba laptop with a broken hard drive on their junk pile, and for the low low price of only $200 US I'm BACK IN BUSINESS, kiddies !! WHOOOOOPEEEE, and YIPPPEEEEE and YAHOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mi esposo had a spare hard drive, and loaded FireFox onto the Toshiba while I napped, and hooked up my Mac mouse (I can't use the laptop one with any success) AND, my old keyboard, so I'm reasonably comfortable, and happy. now, if I could only figure out HOW to increase the font size, and import my BillPay passwords and stuff. my fantasy is to have my iPhoto, my iTunes, and my passwords, journals, bookmarks, IM friends lists, and TONS of saved research documents in AppleWorks and everything else MAGICALLY appear during my sleep tonight, wouldn't THAT be great ?? :D:rolleyes::D |

Renee, congrats on getting to the second interview.
Sandy, that ibot thing is neat. I hope they will cover the cost, it will help Jim out a lot. Kay, glad you got your computer back up and running. ~~~~ Not too much going on since this morning. Been a slug since I came home, LOL. Which is not a bad thing since hubby wants to go to a festival this weekend. Give the battery a bit of recharge. :) |
Just got some cool news!!! I have an appointment with a local art gallery on Tuesday. They showed some interest in my work and they want to see it up close. Crossing fingers they actually like it. :)

I am so happy for you and certainly deserve that recognition as your work is fantastic!!:hug: Kay - Glad you are "rigged" up and running!!! You must be so happy. Renee- Saying prayers you will get that job! ~~~~ Didn't do much today. Dang MS!!!! Cog fog and spasms from the waist down. Oh I hate being a couch potato. I did manage to get most of the bathroom cleaned this morning (didn't do the floors - my battery ran low:rolleyes:). DD16 is having a couple of her friends spend the night tonight so I wanted to get it done. DD16 was able to register at school this morning without a glitch. Well, I take that back. A friend of mine that works at the school did all the "checkpoints" to make sure that all would go well. Yesterday we found out that they put her in freshman math (algebra), honors planetary science instead of honors plant biology, and regular English not honors English. It all got straightened out yesterday so that today would be a breeze for her. She's a senior now!!!:eek::eek::p |
Hey Jenn ... that's great ... I'm thinking about checking out the local art museum here in town ... and see what I need to do ... maybe with the painting ...
I did it .. FINALLY started doing some more quilting ... and finished 2 kitchen towels ... more to go ... but, I'm finishing ... |
DD is home
DD is home :yahoo: and has at least a million stories for us.
Thank you again for all your prayers and kind words while she was gone. We were told there weren't any problems at all the whole trip. :grouphug: Back to story time with DD. :yahoo: |
Weaver, tell your DD I'm right "next door" to Mexico, in Belize...
glad she had a good time. is she planning on doing any further stuff abroad? my friends have a wonderful Christian Missionary Camp that may need counselors for summer sessions... gosh, I wish I was young enough and full of energy I'd do it for sure !! will send camp info/blogs/pix if she's interested... :hug: |
