Grrrr… BAD WORD macintosh!

I am an Apple fan. I am. I have loved them…well, close to forever, lol.  I gotta say right now though… I am feeling pretty freaking upset with my computer.  I am guessing I should just restart the sucker… and hope nothing goes wrong, because it’s going to have to be a hard restart.  It isn’t responding to anything.  I do have to say though… I’ve been pushing it…. probably past its limits.  It’s a 6 year old computer (yes, 6 years!), and it’s got a pretty SLOW processor, for what you can get now.  The technology has been outpaced three times, if you go by the 18 month rule… no, 4 times.  Eeks.  I need a new mac.  Well, we’ll just add that to the "list"
All right, I gave up…it’s restarting.
I haven’t spent this much time on the PC… in I don’t know HOW LONG.  I usually try to ignore the PC.  I got the software to make the wishblade run on the mac, and so I try to use it, though sometimes I gotta resort to the PC.
Well, the mac came up…thank goodness for that!.
Well… I was trying to do the first print to the new printer… and it "locked up" trying to print.  I THINK it might have been trying to print to the old printer, which is still connected, but wasn’t powered on at the time, and it took a LOOOOONG time trying to figure out what was wrong.  ARGH.  I need more RAM, two processors, more hard drive space (well, not really, but I will…)  And I’m thinking I’m going to want a Mac Pro.  Oh, and I want a CD burner.  The burner in my powerbook got destroyed in a Dr Pepper accident, and I’m not able to do anything with the CD drive on that computer. It’s a shame too.
Okay, so let’s try this AGAIN.  Hm… doesn’t look like it’s going to want to print borderless… 🙁  I don’t want a white edge on this.  YEAH!  It WORKED!!!!!!!

Okay, i gotta get back to the mac…lol.  I want to print out some pictures and actually DO some scrapping.  I should have a look at this scrap room while I’m at it and see what I can clean up.  It’s been a SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW process… so slow in fact, it’s been one step forward, two steps back.  It actually looks worse now than it did when I started.
That would be me.  I hate that I’m disorganized and find it impossible to find a place for things.
However, Linda is coming to spend the day, and possibly the night August 4th, so I have to have a place for her AND I to work… and she might have a paper rack I can use.  I think I know where I can put it… and honestly, I think I’d prefer my 12 in filing cabinet, but I still haven’t been able to afford the filing folders for it, and I’m not totally sure I want to make my own…
We’re supposed to get paid the first week of August if this AIN Denver thing works out (aindenver.com)  It looks pretty good, but like anything, could be nothing but a scam.  We got 4 people in it, including my mom, to spread the risk, so none of us would lose that much, if we lose anything.  So we shall see!!!!  It might be a slow dig out of the pit…but I’ll take anything I can get at this point!   I’m TIRED of being BROKE!

No pictures, because obviously, I’m on the PC, and I just don’t have or keep pics on the PC… it’s time consuming enough to put them on the mac and then have to organize them… I don’t know where I find time to do much of anything!!!!  Lately though… I’ve been spending WAY too much time on my Palm Treo playing role playing and other games…. I’m an addict.  I love role playing games though. 

Okey dokey… if I’m to get to bed at a reasonable hour (yea right… but today I was exhausted, so I need to) I’ve GOT to post.  I’d REALLY like NOT to sleep in tomorrow… slept til 10:30 today.  The baby and I sleep quite a bit in the mornings… nice not to have to worry about the other kids, but… I don’t like sleeping so late.  I gotta stop burning the candle at both ends.  I get more done in the day when the baby’s down for a nap, so that’s what I need to do, is get a full night’s sleep, put her down for a nap around 9 a.m., and actually be rested enough to work.  I can sit and stare at the computer LATER, when I’m tired!

LOL… and with that ramble…. good bye!
