My New Computer

I'm so excited! I got my new laptop today and it's wonderful. Don't let anyone tell you that Macs aren't the greatest because they are. So simple to use, so many features for the regular user that you won't find elsewhere! Tonight, I'm going to find out how to do pod casting so that I can start with my students. I'm also going to develop a website for my French classes, perhaps even for the whole department. Of course, I won't be doing that tonight. However, I must admit that the first thing I did was play with my camera (on the computer) taking lots of pictures of myself and anyone else who was interested.

Having a laptop back also means that I can spend more time developing ideas for school, working on my novel and my personal blog. I have found it so difficult to sit for any length at the desktop computer. No more than 10 to 15 minutes at a time.

Spring has truly disappeared! It's freezing outside. To add to all of this, our furnace broke down today and we are sitting in the cold waiting for the repair man to arrive. At least cancer has been good for something! I can use it to get a repair man out on an emergency call. That and my _____ year old mother. (If I wrote her age, I would be dead!) Is it a terrible thing that I'm doing, that is, using the cancer to my advantage. I'll have to think about that.

Hurrah....the Apple FINALLY arrived...great for you and great for all of us!

Oh dear...too bad about the furnace. May it be fixed by now and may you all be cozy. I'm getting a big kick out of the conficted feeling about using the cancer word to get the repairperson to your door. Why not?

more later...love, mj
