Goodbye, Computer
Written by admin on January 23rd, 2008
Ahhh, carrot juice! Just what I need to be able to handle my computer loss for a few days. (I’m having way too much fun with these graphics.)
So it’s goodbye, computer. At least for a few days. My computer has slowed way down. I get messages that my virtual memory is low. I am sure the case is full of dust bunnies. It’s time to take it to my favorite computer guys and have it worked on. Hopefully, it will come home to me in 3 or 4 days with more memory, dust free, and faster than before. What’ll I do without my trusty computer? I guess I’ll hop on the laptop and surf when needed, but all my files are here on my computer, so I’m sure there’ll be a bit of withdrawal. It will be a good time for me to finish up some books I’ve been reading and write some book reviews.
Yes, she’s scary! It got so cold, my daughter turned into snow girl and she wanted you to see it. Scary.
Actually, that snowball she’s holding has been in my freezer for a few days now. My daughter decided to take it outside and break it, only it wasn’t so easy to break.
First she threw it down hard on the sidewalk, but it just bounced and rolled away. Jasper (the cat) ran after it.
Then she tried to kick it, but that didn’t do anything but hurt her toes.
She finally took a garden tool and chipped away at it for a little while. I did not stay to see the final outcome.
Speaking of Jasper, because of my husband’s allergy and medical problems, we got rid of our longtime indoor cat, Tabitha. She went to a very good home and we are happy that she is happy where she is. Still, my daughter mourned the loss of her pet. Thankfully, a stray cat — known now as Jasper, has taken up on our front porch and has become my daughter’s beloved outdoor cat. Actually there is another cat as well — Fluffy, but she wasn’t around for the snowball-breaking event.
Isn’t she pretty? She got the name Jasper before we realized it was a female cat.

Oh, thanks! I’ll be on the laptop, but I won’t have access to my photo editing stuff or my HP Image Zone, etc. I hope my computer is okay too. It was FULL of dust. I think the guy was speechless for a second.
