You Know It’s Bad When AppleCare Is Stumped

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

I know I haven’t been the greatest about blogging lately.  There are actually two reasons.

First, (and probably the main reason) is because I am in the process of writing a series of articles for mommies relating to all things photography.  One of the articles is going to be featured on Mamapedia, so I have been busy, busy, busy making sure I don’t sound like a complete idiot. More to come on that …

Secondly, as you know we purchased a new, big, beautiful imac.  We also made the switch to CS5 so I have just been relearning everything. Additionally, for some reason, we can’t get my laptop to talk to the desktop.  Soooo, when I am up late at night watching 24 and working on MOPS stuff, it is on my laptop.  When I am up late editing photos, it is on my desktop.  Now I have this huge disconnect, which has made it hard to keep things rollin’, especially with MOPS starting up next month and I am doing the normal start of the year crunch.  We’ve contacted AppleCare and they escalated the call and now they are working on it and they are going to get back to us.  We’ve been Apple geeks for years now and never had that happen.

Best Friends? I thought.  They’ve only been in school together for a week.

I asked her for his name and she told me it was Colon.  Colon? No way.  Did my daughter become BFF’s with someone who’s named after a not-so-popular body part?!  I assured her there was no way that was his name, but she insisted so I went with it.  She does go to a hippie school, after all.

The Wave

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Every day when I drop Monkey off for school, I get a touch farther away from the doors.  My hope is, by the time winter comes, I won’t have to unload the baby to walk her 20 feet from the kiss and go lane, because she’ll be a pro.

Yesterday, we were running a tad bit late, so we used the kiss and go lane so she would have more time on the playground.  Today she wanted me to walk her again, which honestly was just fine by me! (more…)
