Palms.. PDAs..

PITIFUL!!!

Yup, poor poor pitiful me. I've owned my Tungsten E2 for less than 24 hours and in the 1st step process of *charging it* have already had to call tech support. For an abstract thinker, I can be concrete as... concrete... (just ask about the time my husband and I were asked to go up a flight of stairs *one at a time*). When I followed the directions for dummies (pics and all) it said to let the device charge for 3 hours. Now, have YOU ever seen a device that didn't have a bar or screen that indicated it was charging? No. I didn't think so. Well my Palm doesn't have one! So before it charged, I clicked *next* and well, you guess the rest. Punching a few hundred buttons doesn't help. Lost in a flurry of menu screens I threw in the towel and called the nice girl at tech support whose accent was indiscernable to a yankee like me. I GUESS it's charging now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Wish you Merry Christmas..

...happy New Year too..

Remember when Karen Carpenter sang those words? I think I sang them some 20 Christmasses running, for private parties, in clubs, or just in the car headed for the mall crammed with shoppers. Hard to believe she's gone and another year is almost through. I spent the Christmas before last in bed sick, and last Christmas barely over it. You'd think now that I'm finally up and around, I'd be thrilled to pull everything from under the stairs that has sat there for three years running.

I've not decorated a thing except for a strand of obnoxious blinking lights drapped all over my dying bushes outside. I've always loved this holiday. Something magical stirred in my soul sitting quietly before a lit tree on Christmas Eve. Snuggled in a blanket, warmed, watching it's lights twinkle off windows that overlook a snowy yard. Somehow, this year, it all runs together. One day to the next.

Perhaps I'll wish upon a falling Christmas star. Perhaps I'll hear the tinkle of a bell and know an angel has gained her wings. Perhaps I'll catch a glimpse of a raindeer hoof planted squarely in the middle of my roof. Perhaps.

I hope. Perhaps.

Now that I have read..

..the entire internet, I do have to say, with DSL, it is so much quicker! :P

DSL

I am going to attempt to connect into my new DSL today. One of two things may happen. I will be zipping around the internet like a whiz.. OR.. I will mess up my computer so bad you will never see me again.......
