Damn Computers

So I was entering today's blog - and just getting near the end - when my laptop battery goes kaput on me. You would think that in this day and age a $3200 computer would be able to figure out that the battery is low and inform you of that fact. Hell, I've seen $10 calculators that do that.

ANYWAY, here we go again! Today was a nice day. Carrie was getting her hair cut and coloured at a place near Grant Park Mall so after school I got Ben and we went shopping for a while. Ben got a present - a new Baby Einstein video. This one is called Baby Da Vinci and it explains in a clear way that babies can understand the conspiracy surrounding the Holy Grail. (It really is about a couple of monkeys who demonstrate different parts of the body - get your mind out of the gutter, Liz).

Carrie's hair looks great!

Anyhoo, Charlie was out of her crate today for the WHOLE TIME I was at school. We started trying this again this week after the disaster of 1.5 years ago where she ate our couch. She's been a good dog so far. Carrie still wants to kill her however, since she will NOT stop attacking Frank. I think it's Frank's fault. Frank is not too swift (either mentally or physically) - if he would just RUN we wouldn't have a problem. Oh well. It's part of the mosaic that makes up our household.

Adult Ed Quote of the Day: We were converting British Pounds to Canadian currency in class today. When we got to the amount of pounds to convert (which was 2250 pounds) I say: "What a coincidence! That's also my weight!" A few people chuckle (there are always a few brownnosers) and we go on with the lesson. About 4-5 minutes later (really) a girl says "Wait a minute - you COULDN'T weigh that much!" Sigh. And I'm worried about teaching currency conversion?

Carrie goes to Edmonton on Friday (IKEA! IKEA!) so tomorrow's blog may be a little brief as we rush to get her ready. Her plane leaves at some stupidly early made up time that doesn't even exist (it's like at -33:67 banana hours) so she will probably be getting to bed early! Not me though. I must keep publishing for you faithful blog readers out there. (Are you out there?) (Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me...Is there anyone home?)

Okee doke. Talk to you all tomorrow.

Peace out, yo.
