Computer is back
My baby is back! I am glad I wasn’t completely without internet while my laptop was gone. I finally learned a lot of the features of my smart phone, so it will be a lot more useful, but I hate thumb typing or voice posting. I can type about 90 wpm on a regular keyboard. Thumb typing is not very efficient compared to my awesomesauce secretarial skills. My 9th grade keyboarding teacher would never believe it, but with modern keyboards you don’t have to correct your errors with correction tape and throw out a page if you mess up too badly. Do you even know what correction tape is? I’m willing to bet some of you have no idea!
Now that my computer is back, I have a lot of work to do. First up, drafting an e-mail on behalf of one of my groups, explaining to a lady why we do not want her to provide birthday cupcakes at our general meeting every month. It is a very nice idea and we appreciate it, but not everyone wants their toddler to have a cupcake at 10 in the morning. It was extremely messy and our guest speaker was not impressed with waiting for us to finish our “birthday party.” This is going to be an incredibly difficult e-mail to draft because this lady is very sensitive (but has no problem eviscerating anyone else, which makes it easier, except I know she is going to FREAK).

I just got a call that my plans for next Sunday are not happening. We were going to a Murder at the Mansion mystery show thing, but there were not enough tickets sold. We can either go on Saturday or get our money back. Our sitter said she can watch the kids on Saturday, but now I’m sort of leaning toward getting our money back and doing something else on Sunday. I suppose I’ll let Mike have some input, since it is his date too. It would be novel to have some time alone with no kids. I’m sure we could think of SOMETHING to do. Ha. I need a little romance in my life.

Google ads are freaking me out. An ad just popped up for the exact outfit that Elsa is wearing RIGHT NOW. I bought it at a brick and mortar store months ago!

I really need to go cook dinner. I’m supposed to take Erik to family game night at school in an hour. How am I going to get dinner cooked before then? Why have I been carressing my laptop keys instead of taking care of my family? Bad mommy. Bad, bad mommy.
