Attatchments make me nervous

By on July 26, 2009 in Uncategorized
Now by now you all know I have very little computer skills. In fact, in about a year my now-6-year-old will have more knowledge than me. Case in point; I tried for an hour to figure out how to change my alternate name on Facebook only to admit defeat and have to post a “HELP..does anybody know how…” question on FB. It oozed with wussiness.

Then, there’s attatchments. You know, like the kind you’d get on an email. They make me nervous cuz, #1 trying to get them open sometimes taxes what small shred of patience I may have left. I don’t like being told I have to download the newest edition of ANYTHING just to view an unknown photo. What am I missing here?

Then there’s the air of mystery. Is something important? Picture from the last family reunion? Or crap in-box-filling-time-sucking pictures of housecats with distored eyes and catchy phrases? I live in fear that someday I will click on one of these pesky ‘attatchments” and be faced with a manical laughing dancing leprcaun. He is laughing because he just stole my I.D and drained my bank account/. Actually, I did have an attatchment with a dancing irish dude today. I have no idea what he wanted. I clicked DELETE so fast I think I dented my mouse. That what prompted me to write this post.

Now excuse me, I need to go call the bank and see if I what little money I have just disapperar into a Lepracaun’s Pot O Gold.

My “I HAVE” List

By on July 24, 2009 in Uncategorized


Recently the FB from SITs was a great gal from justalittlesomething. Hollie had this great idea about doing a “I HAVE” list instead of a “TO DO” list. We all get frustrated when things don’t move as quickly off our TO DO lists (mop the floor, clean the fridge, pay off the car loan) as we’d like. So instead of beating ourselves up on a daily basis, make a “I HAVE” list. A Happy Thought List. A “things I am grateful for list”. Fab idea Hollie! Here’s mine:
Things I have and am grateful for:
1. An amazing family.
2. God blessed me with a creative brain, and I am using it!
3. A kind heart. I am pretty perceptive. If you are in pain and need a hug, I’ll probably sense it.
4. Two arms, to give you that hug you need.
5. Determination. If things suck, I buck up and try to change it.
6. HOPE..I always have hope for a new and better day.
7. The love of a good challenge. It’s a good thing I thrive on challenge. Working full time, two small, kids, chair of numerous projects, and launching two new business….IS a challenge!
8. Confidence. Times may be tough now. But I am confident we all will emerge out the other end of this economic slump much. better. people.
9. Never-ending respect… for children (mine especially) and how quickly they change, grow, and work hard on just learning how to BE.
10. My job. Most days, it may suck the life from me, but it’s safe, secure, and keeps a roof over my head.
I have a lot to be grateful for. How about you?

    I, too, loved this post from the SITS FB. I think it’s important to take stock occasionally of all that is going RIGHT in my life. It’s all too easy to focus on the negative. That’s why I do a Thankful Thursday post every week. It FORCES me to “accentuate the positive”. Powerful stuff, that.

    I liked that SITS FB’s post, too. (as well as Pam’s Thankful Thursdays) It is so easy to forget that when the glass is half empty, it’s also half full. (Was that too trite? sorry – it’s early…)

    An ‘I have’ List…I love that.

    I have hope too. It’s something I seem to have generous amounts of.

    Great list!
