Don’t you hate it when you talk about so many random things in your post that you can’t think of a good title?

I am on a new computer today. This weekend (while I was sick), I did a massive backup of my laptop to my external drive… and then I put my poor laptop out to pasture.  So for now, I will be using the desktop Mr. DJ bought last month when our music studio computer died. [...]

Computer woes (again!) plus this and that

Something is going on with my computer. It is SO slow. Like painfully slow. So slow that it takes ages for anything to load.  I think it’s because I’m running out of disk space. UGH! So until I can sit down to do some massive (but careful) deleting AGAIN, no long photo posts. I hope [...]

Time Out Country Walk 14: Gomshall to Guildford

Two Sundays ago, Mr. DJ wanted to go for a walk. When Mr. DJ says go for a walk, he means a long country walk that lasts at least four hours. Unfortunately, Roxi had not started her homework, so she and I had to stay home. However, Trudy was happy to volunteer to go and [...]

Bad Computer Karma and Catching Up

Another beautiful sunrise in England this morning. It’s getting cooler–lows in the mid-40s and highs in the mid-60s. We’re supposed to have four beautiful days in a row! That means sunshine :-). .1. Our print server/music studio/backup computer is dead. I don’t know if we wore it out with our 72-hour Hurricane Ike vigil, but [...]

It’s Friday again? Already?

I know it’s silly to tuck her in, but she just loves it soooo much. Mr. DJ went to Frankfort last night. He likes it there–too bad he won’t have time to look around a bit. I am struggling with my computer graphics programs today. I think I’ve mentioned before (maybe?) that I was a [...]

History project is DONE and just catching up on other news

Remember that history project I told you about back in January? Well, two months later, here it is! Roxi had to keep a portfolio of what she did each week. I am so glad she did, because it’s really hard to tell how much work she put into this just by looking at these photos. [...]

My long, boring excuse

Gare du Nord, Paris. Photo by Mr. DJ on his Blackberry Pearl. So the whole reason I had to forgo four days in lovely Pair-ee is that last night I had to attend a two-and-a-half hour “Speed Awareness Seminar.” It was the price I had to pay for going 34 in a 30 MPH zone. [...]

I’m taking a short break from blogging

Mr. DJ and I stopped for Starbucks in Texas last week. Was it just last week? I’m taking a bit of a break in the hopes of completing my packing by the time the movers get here at 9 am on Saturday. I wasted spent too many hours on the computer yesterday after installing Stumble [...]

Three things I can’t live without*

My journal. This is the one I used in Prague. It is from Texas Art Supply. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the brand, but it has watercolor paper in it. Right now, I am in a 5.5″ x 8.5″ Strathmore Sketch, which is a book I use a lot when I feel the need for spirals [...]

They say, we say

Cove ceiling is crown molding Cloakroom is the half-bathroom downstairs Family bath is the shared full bathroom and for some reason, the glass door only goes halfway down the tub En suite is the bathroom in the master suite Single bedroom means there is only enough room for a single bed (and the room is [...]
