I called it. On Saturday I enrolled in CrashPlan for the 30-day free trial and so far I’m not that impressed. Their website claims “Free, Easy, Automatic Backup”. So far, no. Paul kindly offered to sign up also — we can always backup to each others’ machines with the CrashPlan GUI without charge — and … Read more
As promised, Part II of my devious plan to conquer the world. I mean, my paperwork! I need to look into storage options for my photos, videos and these soon-to-be-scanned-in papers. If you thought my paperwork filing plan was sloppy, our computer’s file plan is an incredible mess. I try to keep up with it, … Read more
…at least that’s the plan here…. Now that I have a handsome new office, I was hoping to work on bettering the family’s reliance on stacks of paperwork everywhere. I want to scan in our old bills, bank statements, and receipts, and clear our office of some of the stacks of papers everywhere. I’m even … Read more
Before I get going with my Colorado blog posts, I’m going to take a moment to discuss my feelings. “Really? You RARELY talk about your feelings….you fill this blog with things you’ve seen, things you’ve done, things you would like to do….” Yeah, I guess you’re right, my dear imaginary blogosphere friend.

First, thanks for answering the poll — I guess changing/washing linens once-per-week is the standard and I need to be better at it 🙂 Now back to our regularly scheduled blogging. I’m at it again. Now that the school year and academic year is in full swing, it’s time to get involved in stuff again. … Read more
After almost a year of having all my questions in life answered, I’ve a new one. This one is coming up because I’m getting really sick of maneuvering all over Jacob’s top bunk changing sheets…unfortunately, Jacob sweats so much in his sleep, that’s what drives our changing his sheets more than anything. Nonetheless, it got … Read more
Had to shampoo carpets today. They were quite gross.
Good question. Right now, I’m enjoying Dancing With the Stars, although my enthusiasm is somewhat limited because I was away for the first 3-4 weeks. I couldn’t believe that Steve-O wasn’t eliminated the first week…I guess he was a better dancer than I gave him credit for… I’m also back to a CD-burning spree. Not … Read more
