My computer, aka the laptop that we've had pretty much since the dinosaurs were around (or at least, in computer years... it's like 6 years old or something incredibly ancient like that!!) is a humongous pain in the patootie to use doing anything, like uploading pics or look at a blog or enter a response on a message board or type an email... ugh.

The old dear is getting to the point where she decides to just crash right in the middle of the day. Lovely.

SO- if updates are scarce from me, have no fear- I'm not dead, rather, my computer is. ;)

However, the income tax refund gods have been kind to us this year (yay for having kids!) and we will hopefully be upgrading to a new 'puter very soon.

as my gingy would say: "yay for yay!"

in other news, these are the things i'm enjoying this week:

-"bergdorf blondes", an audio book that promises lots of frivolous fashion talk and chic-lit fun, to listen to whilst i scrapbook
-the march kit from crop addict that arrived on friday (woohoo!)
-a brand new little planner from walmart that i can utilize to organize my thoughts & plans to take over the world
-the aforementioned good news regarding our taxes this year
-looks at products from the CHA floor here and here
-fitting into my pre-Emerson pregnancy clothes again! :)
-my straightening iron (it just makes for a good hair day)
-getting a day out every week by working at the Guest List
-reservations for the kids at Hotel Grandma for a getaway weekend for us in the near future
-and the traditional faves [clean home, stack o' library books, snuggly kids, and handsome chef that doubles as my husband]

things that are not so good this week:

-poop. foot stepping in poop. >:(
-waking up multiple times a night due to teething and/or thirsty kid
-fuREEZing temps without the promise of snow
-sad stuff... angry stuff...regretting stuff... hurtful stuff
-computer shutting down in the middle of emailing. grrr.


later dudes. i have hilarious pics of em wearing shaun's boxers (from the clean laundry pile), atticus being subjected to sisterly antics, jamming on the headphones, and multiple other things, but those will have to wait for a time when my connection is not so unreliable. :)
