A Bubble off center

A whole lot of shakin' goin' on over here!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It will come as a surprise to NO ONE that the computer I owned was an antique.

Not that it started out that way;

but I frankly see no reason to upgrade 

every time a new fade comes along.

But apparently 7 years in a computers life 

is even longer than dog years

and I was informed earlier this week, 

rather dismissively I might add,

that no upgrade was even possible on my computer anymore

 and the only remedy was to purchase a new one. 

So, for what I usually pay for a used car,

I bought myself a new laptop,

had the data transferred

and then waited for it to drive itself to my house 

and plug itself in.

After an hour on the phone with AT&T last night

and meeting a repair guy at the house today,

I might actually be in business;

IF I can figure out all the bells and whistles.

I might get the hang of it in about 6 years!

But wait, that's not the only excitement ...

black mold was discovered in my basement

so contractors in hazmat suits have been coming and going too.

Funny how I zip up and down the stairs doing laundry 

with nary a hint of protection or problems

but be that as it may ...

it has to be done, so might as well bite the bullet now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've needed to concentrate on beauty -

and there's an abundance of that

 

even when the bloom is off the rose

and the fall colors have barely gotten started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But the best part?

(What, the black mold wasn't the highlight?)

Enjoying the anticipation and excitement as

the count down gets real ...

Maybe it's just me - 

but NO WAY do I think this baby is staying put for another 2 weeks!

That's OK ...

whenever he gets here,

there's plenty of love waiting for him!

And here we thought this was such a cheesy pose - 

and it might be, 

but it's also kind of awesome!
