she wanted to run & jump & play in the leaves
 
her mom & i wanted her to pose, sit still, stand up straight, smile, say cheese.....

~my gal friday~
 
addy has been visiting and playing office
 
don't ya love the phone!
 
it works and we still use it
 
i unplugged it so she would have a phone in her office
 
don't ya love how she placed the receiver on the cradle
 
*lol*
 
i could have used a gal friday the past few weeks
 
my HP computer has been giving me fits
 
fits i tell ya!
 
HP has been in possession of my "new" computer more than i have
 
it has been reformatted or taken back to factory system restore
 
no less than 3 times and i've only owned it since may of this year
 
with all the trips back to HP & their many repairs & replacement of parts,
 
(and lame excuses)
 
it still acts silly sometimes and i don't at all trust it
 
but.....
 
i'm stuck with it
 
i bought an external hard drive to back up my info
 
sad...
 
i have to have a little tiny computer to put all the info that's on the big computer
 
just in case the big computer goes kaput
 
then....
 
i had to have rusty from our " local computer fix it place"
 
come out and show me how to back up & save all my info onto the little computer
 
so that in the event the big computer goes on the blink again
 
i will have all my information safe & sound
 
(now the geek at best buy said....you just plug it in and it will prompt you what to do)
 
it most certainly did not
 
it surely has me wondering...is it worth it?????
 
 
it is....it's worth it for pinterest alone
 
however with that said....listen up people
 
because my HP computer has proven to be unreliable
 
(nothing like losing all your vacation pictures)
 
 to make you do what they have been telling you to do all along
 
 
BACK UP YOUR COMPUTER!
 
 
for the time being
 
i think things are ok
 
i've missed everyone & everything in blogland
 
have you missed me?
 
after previewing this post, i'm thinking i sound a bit psychotic
 
do i  come across as psychotic when you read this?  did i spell psychotic correctly?
 
having computer problems day after day makes me that way
 
thanks Hewett Packard!

yummmmmmmmy!

 
 
lovin this book!
 
you can get it from amazon for $15.00
 
it's worth every penny
 
 
i've made several things from it and have loved them all
 
this week i made the toaster pastries
 
or
 
pop tarts as my kids called them
 
much better than pop tarts....no hard crust or sticky filling
 
no preservatives or unknown  ingredients
 
just yummy homemade goodness
 
 
they went together very well
 
&
 
quickly
 
 
 
i filled them with our homemade strawberry freezer jam
 
 
 
and gave them a dusting of powdered sugar
 
such a treat in the morning
