Week update part 2
My attempt at a 2-part week update turned out to ambitious, not at all unrelated to the unfortunate event of a broken backlight in my iBook. Sad. I can no longer see what I'm reading or writing. What makes it worse is that the 1-year Apple Care warranty is up, so right now my beloved G4 is sitting in a "third-party" shop, waiting to be fixed at half the price those Apple folks offered. I had to race to a Newbury Street computer/Internet shop last night in order to save my paper that was due today, as I don't have an adapter and other stores were not still open. I recovered everything and have learned two important lessons: 1) never, ever spill water on your screen and 2) never, ever delay saving your documents onto gmail, especially if you don't have a jumpdrive.
Our experience at the tech store spawned Heidi's idea for "a list of generalizations,' which I'm sure she'll share in her next entry.
Heidi did a nice job of recapping Thanksgiving week, although she forgot to mention that we went to Birmingham to visit our beloved Keri. We reverted to our old selves, gorging on candy and watching Arrested Development. And we talked and laughed and made big plans for the future- plans that seem to exclude the possibility of marriage. :)
I will echo Heidi's sentiment and say that golfing could be my next obsession, albeit an expensive one. If anyone is wrestling over what to give me for Christmas, a gift certificate to a golf and country club could win my heart (do they sell gift certificates? I don't even know). I'm proud that my first golfing experience involved icy snow, six deer on the fairway, and my brothers ridiculing me for running to hit my next ball. My justification is, why walk when running gets you there faster? In the 35 degree weather, I didn't feel too silly.
Thanksgiving was fun as always, and it was good to hang with Ana Maria and to defeat the guys in Trivial Pursuit. We've rarely played the game girls vs. guys, and when we have, the guys have always won handily- but this year, with secret weapons Aunt Collyn and Andrea, the tides turned. The answer to the final question was Edward Gorey. I'm grateful to have friends like Linnea and Courtney so that I can answer the winning question in Trivial Pursuit. Thanks, guys.
