I'll post first because I'm positive that, by the time I finish reading my friendslist there won't be time to do a post.
Update (highlights)
* My computer is dead AGAIN! Grrr.... Black screen with curser this time - then when I push it gives me a cannot read disk error. I picked the brain of the Geek squad rep at Best Buy - he said - buy a new one. So, I'm puterless until that happens - which is okay, I have wifi on my Touch at home - and I have internet access at work. That'll get me through until I find something I can afford that doesn't suck too bad. :-)
* My mom is here. She arrived Wednesday night while I was in Corpus Christi. I came home early (Thursday) so I could spend time with her. First thing we did was go go the garden and harvest blackberries and taters :-)
* Canyon trip went smoothly. Michael graduated West Texas A&M. Unfortunately most of the pictures came out too dark because I had to use a cheapo disposible camera (the batteries on my digital refused to charge - turns out the cells were bad)
* Houston trip went smoothly, but we didn't do anything I planned. Still - we had a good time, and we got to see Tom (
texasts ) for lunch!

* Yesterday Marcel and I celebrated our first anniversary. We are giddy :-)
* I'm fully into blackberry season - unbelievable how many berries there are - I'm happy. Everything else in the garden rocks too. I'm blessed.

Hard drive disk failure sucks. Do you have an IT team at work? (i've always found it beneficial to become friends with the tech team. Of course, where I work now, they are the most interesting people in the company.)

Date: 2010-05-14 08:37 pm (UTC)I hate it when the 'puter dies. I feel lost and totally cut off. What did I do before we had computers?
ANd too bad about the pictures. Maybe someone else has some they can share?

I'm glad you got to see your mum, and harvesting must have been so satisfying.
Good luck with your 'puter problems :)
