The Latest Happenings...

A clip from Monty Python keeps running through my head. A cryer with a cart going through a mideavil city, shouting"Bring out Your Dead." Then someone brings an old man out slung over his shoulder. The old guys lines are something to the affect of "but I feel much better, think I'll go for a walk later" (said in a weak unconvincing voice). That is how I feel today...

On Monday, November 24, I started to get a sore throat. By Wednesday afternoon, I had full blown strep throat. I saw a dr., got antibiotics and went home to sleep, then discovered that my laptop had crashed. I reformatted and repartitioned the hard drive then reloaded Windows XP which was a total bust because I couldn't hook up the the internet to get any of my drivers and couldn't find my dell disk anywhere. I kinda slept through Thanksgiving, as we had decided Wed. evening to postpone our actual celebratory dinner until Saturday. I did install the Windows Anywhere copy of Vista Upgrade in between naps. I went to work on Friday then came right home and crashed pretty early. Woke up on Saturday to discover my computer had crashed yet again, cooked and cleaned, and roped the kids into helping get dinner on the table. It was wonderful, Just the three of us with turkey and all the fixings, Including 2 different pies for dessert. Then my children disappeared. Oldest left the house and youngest fell into chair in front of the TV and became couch potato. I went back into my room and finally got the laptop up and running (knock on wood) and tried to check my one million emails only to find out that the fair access policy on my Satellite Internet Service had been breached....AAAAGGGGGG!!!

So!, between all the problems I haven't been able to keep up with all the emails from my crochet groups, or the fly-lady.net site or anything, (let alone sit down and crochet anything...) So! I need to go back to work on my xmas gifts now. Keep hooking :)
