Oh yeah...the Big News!

(Where's Murdo?)
So after a well deserved chiding from a devoted reader (aka friend and possibly bored office worker), I'm coming out with the big news!

I got my froggie AND he's still alive! Oh yes, he is still alive and kicking...literally. It was touch and go there for a few days...which is why I didn't write right away. He was extremely anti-social and I couldn't even get a picture of him! He wouldn't leave the castle I was nice enough to put in his aquarium, and didn't seem to care at all that I wanted to be friends. My last two frogs were extremely social creatures, so I was a bit worried about him. In an effort to bring him out of his froggie depression, I bought him some mollies to help him chill out. It worked! Within 24 hours Golly and Miss Molly got lil Murdo out of his castle.

Let me tell you, they may be little critters, but it was definitely worth it. I wasn't meant to be in a pet-less household.

So that was the big news. The next big news is... My family is coming on Tuesday!!! Wahooo!!!

PS. A recent (yes, you know this word is relative) journal entry...

Surgery Prep


After a successful run of 4 to 5 posts a month since the New Year, I failed miserably in April. Ach. But, ever the one to try and look to the future when the past isn't so good, here I am moving on with a new and exciting post.

By this time tomorrow, my macbook should have a brand new brain! Yes, a brand new 250Gb brain to replace the old 70Gb brain that, between you and me, has been lagging a bit lately. Since I installed Window's XP via Virtual Box to run a work program, I've been cramped for space. It's forced me to put most of my pictures, and all of my videos on flash drives. What a pain. Like my current macbook brain, I have limited memory, and I never seem to have my flash drives around when I need them.

I'm cloning my current brain at the moment and am forcing myself to get on with the rest of the process tomorrow since it's getting late.

I came home from a weekend in Skye today, so I might have some interesting pics to post later this week. Skye is honestly one of my favorite places to visit (and I'm not alone in that opinion), but luckily it doesn't have pull of any kind. That is to say, I have no interest in ever settling in Skye...but it's still a gorgeous place to spend a sunny weekend!

Alright, this is me, over and out. Tomorrow's first order of business is Macbook Brain Surgery! Stay tuned for the success/failure of that endeavor.

Also, I will be making an important announcement in the next 2 days...maybe tomorrow! Yeah, that's all I have to say about that.
