Long Time, No Blog

Like the header says, long time, no blog. I've been taking part in the Nanowrimo.org book in a month challenge. Is anyone else? Let me say right off, I am not going to have 50,000 words by the end of November. But it has prompted me to write every day. That's what I've been doing instead of blogging. Working on my Chick-lit-like romantic comedy. Anyone want to see an except?

Halloween Nails

I have Halloween nails! Orange, black, orange, black, orange. This afternoon, I went to the aesthetics school my son attends and he did them for me as part of his practice requirements. My new nails will be going with my grandchildren and me to a Halloween party at church tomorrow. Then, off to my "Halloween" management meeting at work on Monday. What are your Halloween plans?

Pets and Computers Don't Mix

Yesterday while I was stoppping at Best Buy on my way home from work to buy a new A/C adaptor for my laptop because my daugher's dog Pooh Bear had chewed the old one, my grandkids dog Sweet Pea was knocking the laptop off the couch and damaging the wireless network card and internal connection for the card -- with some help from my grandson, I suspect. I had left the laptop in the cupboard where I store it when I'm not using it.

So last night, I had to dig through all my spare computer parts to find a UBS wireless adaptor. I'm a closet techie. I have boxes of old, spare parts. Then, I spent all evening trying to reconnect to the network, impeded by Red Cat, who likes to sit on the wireless access point because it's warm and disrupts the signal. Yes, I am sure she does it on purpose. Finally, this morning, three adaptors later, I am back online.

Do you have any computer-pet stories to share?

Take Some Time for Romance

I added a tagline to my website: Take Some Time for Romance. What do you think? I considered a couple of others first: Old Fashioned Romance and Where Romance Reigns. What do you think? Better? Worse?
