so... i was thinking that i'd sew together this little winter jacket for the ram so that it won't get cold. in the meantime you could sow the mustard seeds, then fix the fence that you rammed into with the car...
i got a new computer a work today. i've known there was a new one on the way, and i can't say i was happy to hear this. i LOVE my computer at work. i would hug it if i could. true, it's not a mac, but i grow attached to my tools whether it's a blade, or a ruler, or a pc. i spent some time in the morning "packing" everything i needed in my external drive so that all i had to do was plug it into my new computer. the IT guys said they'd be back around 11:30, several hours went by. i became antsy, if i was going to get a new computer then i wanted to get it over with. finally at 3:30 they arrived. so far everything has gone smoothly, quicker than the last time my compy was upgraded. while we waited for it to install my adobe cs3 suite i nipped into the bathroom. i was anxious to get back to it, already i felt protective of my new machine, and i didn't like the idea of a stranger fiddling with it. i think that's a good sign that i'll adjust quickly.
it seemed windy enough after work today to fly my kite. walking across the street to the m centre my pirate ship quickly took flight and i tried to keep a tight rein of it so that it didn't reach the powerlines. unfortunately when i reached the park the wind had died down and there wasn't a strong breeze. it did take off for about 45 seconds, but not again. whenever i fly my kite i wish i was at least a foot taller. there's this large enclosed area that reminds me as a place where people store horses, i imagine them running around and throwing their heads back while neighing. anyway, i climbed it and sat very precariously on a very rough board about 5 feet off the ground. it seemed like a sliver waiting to happen. my legs dangled freely. honestly i was nervous that i'd fall, but tried to steady my centre of gravity. i sat for a while, calmly, quietly, holding my kite string. it's moments like that that are my favourites.
sometimes when i'm trying to be helpful i fear i only make things worse.
i'm weirded out. the world (or should i say kingston) is way too small.
i can lie to myself and say i like it,
but i would love it if you were here.

Always nice to hear a woman say "i grow attached to my tools." Sends shivers up my spine. True, you didn't mention planes or chisels. Still, you are on the right track.
I don't like having to give up my old computers. I spend too long getting it just right. I have a rule for new computers. They must always come in an unopened box and the hardware guys must not touch them. If I set it up the way I want it, then it is mine. Otherwise, I spend the rest of the life of the computer cursing the hardware guy that touched it. That's the rule.
I find kingston too small, too. Especially in the christain circle.
well bob, i am rather attached to my palm sander and drill.
so far i've got my new computer set up identically to my other one. so i bare can tell a difference. in one sense that's a success, in another sense it was completely pointless to upgrade my computer at all.
this was a facebook connection, not even a church facebook connection. very alarming because i didn't expect it.
