Back at It and Feelin' Good About It (FGF)

So I'm done with most of the installation on the new laptop. I just need to get Photoshop installed, and that disc is at home. It won't take long. It's just a bummer since I have some pictures for y'all today and don't want to upload them until I can re-size and edit them a bit first.

Again, I'm sorry for the absence - it's been hard on me too.

Let's make this short and sweet instead of a long, drawn-out reunion. It is "Feel Good Friday" so I am going to first list what's making me feel good right now.

• Obviously, the new laptop
• The fact that it is Friday at long last (thus margaritas and the weekend are soon to follow)
• Getting in some crafting and thrifting this week and looking forward to more over the weekend
• Making it through the week (mostly) without a laptop (read: internet)
• Being able to keep the house in order, so I come home to a clean house today
• Getting to hook up the new laptop to the new scanner/printer/copier we got last week
• Not haing to fret about the awfulness (word?) that is my yard - we had a lawn-care company come and take care of the yard, flowerbeds, and most importantly - the WEEDS!!
• The weekend is a holiday, which means a yummy family dinner.

So, if your week has not been as good, here's some "Feel Good Friday" for you:

• Map of the top 50 craft brewers in America. My favorite beer is #30 and I don't understand how it's beat out by some I've never even heard of. Whatever. In any case, craft beers rock!!
  
• How to fake a clean house. This is apparently good to have if you have company coming over unexpectedly. I don't have that problem, I never have company. But, it seems like a good list to have in any case.
  
• 10 ways to get fit while blogging (exercises that can be done at work/ at your desk). I've printed out this list and have been using it all week (in spurts, but using it nonetheless.)

I'm happy to finally get a blog post up this week (oh, oh - that's another feel good for me.) Anyway, you guys have a great weekend whether you are celebrating Easter, Passover, or just the weekend. Make the most of it!!

Me? Spoiled?

And. . .a big sigh of hurray! I got a new laptop last night. I am really pleased with it and excited to have my OWN. Every other computer I've had has been a hand-me-down, and this one was bought specifically for ME!! It makes me happy. It's not a Mac or anything, but it's a nice HP. I really like that the keyboard includes a numeric keypad. It's one of the main reasons I picked this one. I really am too spoiled. Hopefully, I'll get to a real post later today, I need to finish loading everything on here while at work. (I'm hoping the tech has a little time for me to get Office and Virus Protection installed.) In any case - it's time to get moving, get dressed, and get out of here.

Oh, and if I don't get back with you today. Have a great Friday!!
