Tied to technology, who me?

Technology's an interesting thing - I remember when email was an up and coming form of communication - for I have print outs of early flirtatious with my now husband. I also remember feeling pretentious and a little guarded in using my first cell phone in public.

Today I have my beloved iPhone - the "old" 3G - and conduct most of my communication, education, entertainment and organization from this little device.

But I am lamenting my even older iMac! Apparently it's not compatible with the new external backup drive Dan was determined to install in order to save all our network data. Now all my iMac data is inaccessible - and I've been without my computer for weeks.

I'm realizing just how dependent I am on all the information, images and resources I've organized on that machine.

Sometime soon (cross your fingers) I'll be getting a new computer - and wonder with each new step in technological advancement - if we really ARE better off??? And frankly, I don't look forward to learning the in's and out's of a new machine.

But - inevitable, I guess.

Pioneer Clothing

My husband and I were chosen to accompany our church youth on a Mormon Pioneer trek. So for the next few days I'll be making bonnets and aprons and dresses - and man clothes. Here's what I did first.




I'm so excited! I've always wanted a Pioneer bonnet! Can't wait!

Been Sick

Sunday I woke up with very achy shoulders and neck accompanied by sniffles and a sore throat. However, as Primary Teachers & Leaders, we had a musical number in Sacrament Meeting so I couldn't stay home.

Well- I've been mostly in bed since (that's almost 4 days!) and my poor family hasn't had much more than a lethargic supervisor.

Anyway, we watched a movie Monday night and I lay there with my box of tissues. Aidan pulls a tissue out and is working with it for some time when he pipes up proudly, "Hey, I'm like mommy!"
Charming.
