IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS

OK I don't have Katydidnot's Tech support, but I do have a fantabulous cousin (or two) who fixed my computer by remote control. I really thought this thing was a goner. I must back up the hard drive!

I am so excited. But exhausted. it has taken me a couple days and a lot of hours. Time for bed. but happy to be posting again from my HOME computer! (ooooh that reminds me I have to get ready for Manager Mom's "open house"!)

So no prompt Tuesday here like I thought I might do. Maybe tomorrow.

Persnickety Ticker said...: Glad you are back blogging at home. You are killing me with that blog award thing. I was so undercaffinated this morning that I had to hop over to three other blogs to see what it was all about. That led me to three other blogs, then three more. My morning is gone. While confusing at first, I get it now and I promise to share the love (and award.)

Oh and the puppy? You're killin' me with cuteness over here. The daughter wants one so badly...FCB absolutely refuses. Maybe I can woo him with your pics...; July 9, 2008 at 11:44 AM

The Cast Of Characters

Me: See about me above

Son: 21 YO, back at college after taking a "break" between his Sophomore and Junior year of college (which lasted exactly 1 semester before he had to go back of his own accord...), ridiculously funny, adorable, smart, athletic, musically gifted and pusher of all my buttons. He's the reason doctors invented Valium.

Daughter: 21 YO SENIOR! in College, intelligent, funny, organized, beautiful, sweet, "blond", thoughtful, friendly, musically gifted, athletic, shortest temper on the planet when it comes to her twin brother. She's the reason vinters invented wine.

The Captain: My "Friend" in earlier posts, my partner, my housemate, my confidante, my Boss's friend of over 25 years. Yeah that's weird. But he is really awesome. And the Love of my Life.

EX: The man I was married to for 20 years who lived next door. Now he's dating the girlfriend he had before we met and pretends I never existed. Really. OH and his GF and I could be twins...except for the outgoing personality part. She is, my children tell me, very sweet and kind and I'm thrilled for them that she is.

Queen Bee: My now deceased 12 YO lab who had gone haywire. She pretended she couldn't hear you when you called her, but the word "TREAT" always got a reaction. She randomly forgot things - like in the middle of fetching the ball forgot what she was doing. She was the best dog ever.

Stinky: AKA Stinky Butt Daughter's Jack Russell who is no longer a Puppy but will always be the "Baby."

GoofusMarufus: The New Rescue Mutt we picked up while visiting Daughter in College. She is gorgeous, funny, but afraid of the strangest things. And she still hasn't learned to sail, sigh. And Stinky Butt, while home on break from College, taught her baaaaaad things!

DRD: Dumb Runaway Dog - Ex's lab who I used to babysit when we lived next door. She's a runner and ended up in the doggy hospital one night. Not. My. Fault. (I was not home!)
