I don't own a MAC but, after reading about how wonderful everyone at the Apple store is, my next computer purchase is definitely going to be an Apple. Sounds like your vacation to Europe was fantastic, though and you must have amazing memories of it all - would love to see the DVD..and think, hubby's birthday party is all organized!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-60502212879229922742009-10-28T18:39:19.314-07:002009-10-28T18:39:19.314-07:00And, of course, you got a bunch of good blog fodde...And, of course, you got a bunch of good blog fodder!<br /><br />For what it's worth, this summer, I sent all of our old video tapes to Stashspace.com.

Very long day!<br /><br />People watching is great fun. I do it all the time at grocery stores, the airport, my office, whereever. Everyone thinks their problem/situation must be at the top of the list. Yesterday, to my astonishment, a couple came to our law firm with about 8 young children, then left them in our conference room with an 11 year old in charge. This band of kids were fine for a bit, then started getting antsy... oh it was terrible. Why can't people find sitters!!! Enough ranting, have a great day today.

Even when it all starts getting to be too much, my kids still want to play with me, get hugs and kisses from me (I know, I should appreciate it while it lasts), have stores read to them, or just want to play outside or run around or whatever, and sometimes taking a time-out from whatever's stressing me out is exactly what I need, too! And of course, it gives me time to do something with my kids that I might have missed out on while trying to do too much at once!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-3794697214978606272009-10-27T18:20:31.824-07:002009-10-27T18:20:31.824-07:00I CANNOT believe you spent that long there!!
