Technical Difficulties

Lately I've had some issues with my computer. I have a mac. It was a requirement for my Photography course at Humber. It is now 5 years old, and causing me some grief. Not only does it not properly update my iPhone (an upgrade gift to myself 2 years ago), now it will not work with any downloads for macs. They all require system 10.5 and I'm stuck at 10.4.11. One tiny little step away from 10.5, but hey, that's my luck.

We'll see what I can do, but now I have to download all my books and phone info on my hubby's computer, and that bothers me. I should be able to do what I need to on mine. But frankly, we just don't have the money for me to go buying myself new toys.

Well, hopefully I can save for a new computer in the new year. That's all for now. Still dealing with these difficulties. Kids on the other hand, fairly good considering their mom was fighting with a computer after dinner tonight.

Go-go-go!!!!

Crazy busy these last, well, really the last week. We had my friend's wedding rehearsal, her wedding, family day, work start-up meeting, family trip to the EX and well, today I must admit I did next to nothing. This last week more than made up for my 1 day of slack. However, that being said, my kitchen and living area look like a bomb went off. I believe I'll have my work cut out for me tomorrow/tonight.

The wedding went very nicely, I must say. Lucas was the ring bearer and Emily a flower girl. They did very VERY well, and I gave them great big hugs and kisses for making her wedding go nicely. Of course, telling Lucas that the groom had cookies in his pocket helped, and Emily had a 9-year old flower girl going down the aisle with her.

Yesterday we went to the EX or Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). We thought we would only be there perhaps half the day, depending on the kids. Well, we were shockingly there until 9pm at night. That was a whole 10-11 hours spent at the EX. Lucas and Emily both went on their first roller coaster and rides and had a great time. The only thing I think I would change is that next time I would spend more time at the kiddie park, then walking through the international building and energy centre. Granted, we went with family and wanted to visit with all, however, the kids were quite restless after 2 hours of shopping time. So next time, we come, we ride, we meet up for lunch, and then when kids are rather tired out, we can shop til we drop (if we want and have money after all those rides).

Well, lesson learned, never EVER plan so many things in one week's time and always tire kids before doing anything that needs to be done!

Well, off to make some bagle-egg-and cheese sandwiches for dinner, yum!! Write you all tomorrow.
