Super Saturday. . What's up in your world?

Mag, I'll gladly leave home for a week if you'd like to come clean mine! My thing is I love to change beds, but I don't want anyone to help me!

Karen, I've always liked to clean alone. I don't want help unless it's to heavy for me to move. My sis said it's because I'm OCD. I lived alone for many years and got into a routine. I'll come clean at your house next week,  lol   Mag

Hello Karen and all,

I know what you mean about not being able to do what we do now if we had not had our wls.  I get tired mainly from the mental stress of having to talk to my grandbabies all the time. I know that sounds awful but I teach a couple of classes so I lecture a lot or answer questions and I am the director of the writing center so I am always either talking to the student workers or the students who need tutoring or the faculty who want me to help them or doing class presentations or workshops.  So, on the weekend, I don't want to talk.  I want to be still.  My granddaughter is like me, she is a talker and talks almost all the time.  Sometimes I say, Baby Girl please let Nana have a minute to think. She will say, okay Nana but one more thing.  

Karen, get a back up memory device.  Some are as cheap as a few dollars and you can save every thing in your email and everything on your desktop, pictures, anythng.  And, when you travel, take it with you. I have two: my first one is the size of a package of gum and the other is as big as my ipod.  You plug them into your computer and back up your stuff. You can create files like Email addresses or pictures of g kids or interesting articles.   

Well, we are about to get started on our day of facials and nails and hair stuff.  I can hardly wait: I hope you heard the sarcasm. HEHE.

 

Would you believe I have a couple of plug in memory drives and just don't use them like I should. Believe me I will now. One first thing for those email addresses. My old desktop computer is so slow and it has tons of old digital photos on it. I MUSE do that as soon as I get home. I always take one and use it when I'm doing genealogy research. I'm allowed to take digital photos of old records that can no longer be touched to be copied.  I will do the other things now too. Have a fun day Jeannie. Hannah and Clara ask you "Is five minutes up yet?" That's what I ask for: "Five minutes please"

Karen,

Have you thought about subscribing to a service like Carbonite?  That's what I use.  For just $5 a month, they will automatically back up all your computer files every 24 hours.  If something happens to your computer, all your files are saved in a remote location.  You don't have to remember to do anything.  I love it!

Good morning all my OFF sistas!

Just a quick pop-in to say hi!  Getting ready to hit the road in a little while.  Going to meet Cindi today in Livingston for lunch and an afternoon browsing around through a Trade Days.  I'm excited!  I've got my camera.  I'll try to remember to take some pictures and post them tomorrow. 

Love you all!

 

Give each other a big hug from the rest of us!

Last year our winter started in November and just hung on. This year we've only had a skiff of snow so far. However, it's not over by any means. We've had cold and fog. That beautiful heavy white frost that when the sun does come out it is absolutely stunning!

Hi Karen and my OFF family:

Up way too early today. Got up a little before 8 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. So I made a pot of coffee, added some protein (just got it yesterday) and some SF gingerbread syrup and I'm going to do some unpacking this morning. Once I get moving again.

I'm not used to the cold at all anymore. I need some sweaters. I was talking to my boss last night, who said that he had no cold weather clothing after 25 years of living in Florida. He really wasn't ready for winter. I have some sweaters and a coat but sold many sweaters when I moved to Louisiana. I'll have to check the sales.

So speaking of cold, it's 24 this morning.  No more snow (although a half inch to an inch is predicted). We didn't get a lot of snow anyway. I'm just shivering though ... body just doesn't like it (well, it never did).

Work went fine last night ... it is so different just doing one paper again. We are adding the Henderson, Ky., paper at the end of the month (along with two of their staffers) ... we need two more people. Even so, it still isn't as crazy as Monroe.

Well, that's about all from me. I need to get some water. Vickie and Cindi, enjoy your get-together. Wish I could be there with you. But I'm happy in my new home. Have a good day everyone.
