hmmmm….I wonder if my husband reads my blog….

I have had an old Micron laptop hanging around for years that I can’t give away. Nobody wants it. It only has 40MB of RAM and it is not possible to increase it. Therefore you can’t put Windows XP on it.

However, today I am upgrading it from Win95 to Win98SE, putting IE6 SP1 and Office XP (extra license) to give to a family that lives up the road from my parents. Their house burned down to the ground on Thursday and they have nothing. Not even their toothbrushes.

My mom told the teenage boy in the family that helps my her and my dad with their dogs about the computer (and that it’s old and does not have the latest cool stuff on it) and he is beyond thrilled. It was certainly worth holding on to!!! So just remember that next time you look at that old hardware that you think is too dated to be of value to anyone.

They just don’t work for me.

Next idea: Rich has made me a mini-white board that is on the wall right next to me.

Next time I get an email or a phone call of something I am saying “yes, I’ll do that” I can just write it down on the white board.

We’ll see how this latest attempt pans out.

just had to:

Reeling from the effects of the tsunamis, now this unbelievable flooding, mudslides and more in California. Sadly also some have died there. Just because it’s 3 and not 150,000 doesn’t make each death any less significant. Wrack and ruin along the california coast line.

When I worked for Natural History Magazine years ago and spent a lot of time up at the museum, I used to dream about having the planetarium as my bedroom. So maybe this might work instead?

Someday, I am going to own one of Daryl’s phenomenal pastels. Until then, at least I can share them with others via my blog. Here is her website. For now I have some postcards and a pin! 🙂

My husband’s idea of a dream garage. Insulated, heated, air conditioned, a lift, wide-screen t.v., video games, 500 Sq ft of storage space, sealed floors, 3 bays, lots of organized shelving. Oy vey! Can’t even begin to imagine the cost.
