Thank you.

Memorial Day 2011

Blame it on Blogger

You know they had tech difficulties this week.

Okay, so maybe that's not the only reason I haven't blogged lately.

I've been busy. Honest.

Rick Rack: Thread Therapy for Sewers Online Sewing Class opened. I'm setting up the next class featuring Megan Hunt (aka Princess Lasertron). Plus, I have a new CROPPED! online scrapbooking class opening soon featuring Melisa Sanchez and Donna Salazar. Interviewed Devon Franklin (author of Produced By Faith) for upcoming Words of Faith podcast. Also interviewed Megan Hunt for WOMEN CREATE: Lessons in Business. Preparing for VRN's first update in 3 months (Sunday, May 22). Writing sponsor proposals for new site content. Shipping books around the world to Rick Rack's students. Getting trapped in an elevator with the UPS guy for 10 minutes and having a complete panic meltdown, especially after 4 boxes of books were stuck in the same elevator overnight. Car issues.

And...working my j-o-b.

This girl works hard for her money.

I'm updating VRN this Sunday (May 22). Please be sure to stop by.

Another computer virus!

Happened the other day. I was trying to contact someone. Clicked on their "Email Me" button. The link went to a MySpace page. I tried to "go back" and that's when my curser jumped around the screen. Then, the screen turned sideways.

I shut down. Restarted. Screen still sideways. Bug still there. I'm pissed. A lot of work to do.

Ran a full boot scan with Avast.

Did not work.

Tried system restore.

Did not work.

Cursed the computer.

Did not work.

Thanked God I had external back-up hard drive.

Turned off system restore. Deleted all Temporary Internet Files (hidden folder in Document & Settings). Re-ran the Avast system boot scan. Re-applied system restore.

Nothing unusual yet. Being very cautious.

Goal for the weekend: visit Apple store and seriously investigate the myth that Macs don't get viruses.

Question For You

How Much Did it Take to Buy You Away from Your Dream?

The Waiting Game

Sometimes it seems like it takes forever
to get to the good stuff.

So many false starts.

Then one day, a door opens. A new idea emerges. A new relationship develops.

It feels like you can hope and dream again.

A new season. A new day.
