Was It A Prediction?

Remember in my last post when I uttered those immortal words, "It is what it is"? Well, I now have to say them again. Yesterday afternoon my computer screen started going dim and then turned to black. My husband is trying to diagnose the problem, as we don't know if the screen has burned out or the mother board is fried. Wouldn't you know this would happen just as I was ready to get back to posting my regular Friday Night Drink Demo? It was a good one, too!

Right now, I am using a borrowed computer, but I don't have access to my picture files so it may be a while until I am back to regular posting and commenting. I hope to be back before the weekend is out, but that will depend on whether we can fix what's wrong. What else can I say, but, it is what it is!

I hope you get your computer up and going soon! Computers make me so mad. I was excited the other day when the school had a fried computer with the word trash wrote on it. I excitedly got to throw it in the dumpster! The perks of being a janitor :)

You're right; it is what it is. Something things we have no control of. Good Luck with everything!

Darn! I needed a drink something awful, too. Work has been very hectic as we are seeing a higher acuity patient population. ER was so backed up we had patients in the medic bay and the hallways. And why won't people learn that, after 6 crack cocaine induced MI's, it's probably best to give the stuff up? Yes, indeed...it is what it is. Sorry about the computer problem. Hope its short lived and a cheap fix!

Skip Breakfast And Have An Adventure

By
We're skipping breakfast again.  I know you were expecting Mr. Willoughby to dazzle you with his cooking skills, but he doesn't feel like cooking today.  He wants to go skydiving. Yesterday, a friend sent us a link to an article about a new place to skydive in Michigan.  When I clicked on the link, I was surprised to see a familiar face. We'll get to that in a minute. You may recall that Mr. W started skydiving by taking a tandem jump a few years ago.  With a tandem jump, having a great instructor makes the difference between a fun experience and an amazing experience and Mr. W had Josh Sheppard; one of the best.  Josh is experienced, enthusiastic and passionate about skydiving.  Mr. W had such an amazing experience that he decided to take the AFF course (to learn to jump solo) before they were back on the ground.   So back to that article, the familiar face I saw was Josh.  He and his brother Abe have started a new skydiving business in Owo...

Timeline

I made Spaghetti with Tomato Basil Cream Sauce and Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night. It's not a difficult meal to prepare, but it does require the oven and multiple burners on the cooktop so it heats up the kitchen. After dinner, it was still awfully warm inside, so I left all of the dishes right where there were and my husband and I went outside to sit on the back porch and cool off. We had eaten rather late, so it was already dark outside. Our neighborhood was uncharacteristically quiet and the only sounds were that of the crickets chirping and the faint whoosh of cars passing by on Main Street. It was a perfect summer evening, the sort that you dream about in the middle of February. I asked my husband what he thought we might have been doing at that exact moment one year ago. Had we been sitting in the same place enjoying similarly beautiful weather? Had I made the same meal for dinner? What about five years ago? How about 10, 15, and 20 years ago? I know I've taken a ...

Public Service Announcement

By
I'm not quite ready to come back yet, but I wanted to take a few minutes to post my version of a Public Service Announcement.  As many of you already know, I've been away from blogging due to illness.  However, what you may not know is that the illness is H1N1.  Yep, the Swine Flu. I can honestly say that I've never felt so terrible in my life.  I had heard that for most people, H1N1 is no worse than the regular seasonal flu.  I guess I'm not most people.  After 15 days, I'm only now beginning to feel slightly human.  I was unable to get vaccinated because our area ran out of vaccine months ago.  I understand that it has recently become available again, but it's too late for me.  It's not too late for you, though.  If the vaccine is available in your area and you haven't gotten it yet, I beg you to drop what you're doing and take your family to get vaccinated. If you ignore my advice and decide to develop your immunity by gettin...
