December 28, 2003

Where have you been?

I’ve been installing the Windows XP upgrade on my computer. In hindsight, I should have uninstalled lotsa programs first, formatted, reinstalled Me, then did the upgrade. But no. I am impatient. So I’ve spent the last few days tying up a lot of loose ends.

By the way, if you’ve ever emailed me before Christmas (and want to remain in contact w/me) , can you do it again? I forgot to back up my Outlook files. That, along with my Palm being (sniffle) deceased, means that I’ve lost most of the email addresses that I haven’t memorized. Like that abstract-spelled-weirdly @ hotmail dot com one.

I still don’t have an FTP program installed yet. So today, I had to fix the CPO site through a DOS window. DOS!!! My former boss would be so proud. (He had phat DOS skills).

But, my internet connection is zippy again. Horizons looks better than ever, and I managed to play it for 2 hours last night. And my desktop is pristine. My PC desktop, that is. My real-world desktop has every install disk I own strewn across it.

My husband (He Who Adores Privacy) Googled his name a few days ago and was horrified that he’s mentioned through my site and blog. So from this day out, He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named will be known as “Thor” and he will be visually represented by male models from Ralph Lauren, J Crew, and others. Got it? Good. This was his decision.

Today we lunch at the Blackwells. More later…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
