oh happy day

Somehow the computer lady got the computer to work! All the data is saved. It is coming home tomorrow. I will have it hooked up on Wednesday, then we need to find the $$$ in the budget to buy a new tower. She doesn't recommend that we keep this one for much longer. It is 8 years old.....

Lots of hockey this weekend. Son #2 and hubby went to Traverse City. The won the tournament!! Son #1 and I drove up and down I-94 to Port Huron all weekend. His team was the runner up. (lost in championship game)
But everyone is happy.....and tired.

It's bad, REALLY REALLY bad

Had a call from the computer-fixer today.
She cannot pull any of my info from the old hard drive
over 600 songs in itunes
a year's worth of pictures
a bunch of word documents
I can't even fathom it

She wanted permission to buy a new hard drive, $50, she is still trying to make it work. I hope it does.
I am sad.

Round and Round

Well, the computer is stil MIA, no word how the rebuild is going....maybe today she will call.

Wicked is coming along nicely, round and round and round I go. This is the first sweater I've made in the round. Kind of nice, but mind numbing.

uhm

computer is broken
must rebuild operating system
it has left the building
should have back in a week

Lazy sunday

Good News: I have finally finished the Sunday Swing socks. They are wide, they will most likely go to sister.
I can now cast on Wicked. I can hardly wait ;)

Bad News: I have most likely killed (or seriously maimed) the "dinosaur" computer in the basement. It is 8 years old. I shut it down in the middle of an Apple iTunes update. I don't know if it can be saved. I am waiting for a call from the computer saver, I am the technology geek in our house. This is WAY beyond me. Wish us luck. There is no $$$ in the budget for a new computer, although we really need an upgrade. All of son #1's classes are using Word 7 (?) we don't have that and everything needs to be converted.

Almost done

I actually did some knitting on the sock yesterday. I had a few free hours, and whoooosh, I have 1 repeat and the toe decrease, then I'll be finished.

Can't wait to cast on Wicked.

back to the old grind

well, with all the back to school activities and back to work, not much knitting was done. I have turned the heel on the 2nd sock, so if I do get some knitting time, it should be finished in no time.
I am so looking forward to casting on the Wicked sweater. It was featured in one of the knitting catalogs that came in the mail this week.

oh, one of the new activities that we have added to our overloaded hockey schedule:
football. son #1 decided he wants to play lt weight football.
yikes
practice every day after school until 5.
this is in addition to hockey practice at night, sometimes.

Back to school

ahhhhhh

peace and quiet
