I love how sometimes all it takes to make me happy is a bit of sunshine and a blue sky. It also reminds me why I love the Pacific Northwest (something I sometimes forget during the long, gray winters).
After this weekend of rain, sleet, snow, hail, thunder, and just about any other type of weather you want to throw in there, it was certainly refreshing to see the sun peek out today. Maybe Spring will be arriving sometime after all. I for one can't wait.
So, since my laptop died I've been borrowing my dads. I was going through some photos from our last family trip and I ran across some photos of a snowy evening. First of all, I can't remember when it snowed this heavily in the area and secondly...what the heck is my sister doing here???
I really don't quite know what to think...
I'll miss my laptop but seeing as it now only turns on once every 3-4 days and runs at the speed of frozen molasses...well I think it's time to call it a day. I've made myself a deal that once I've paid off my credit cards I get to buy a new laptop and as I absolutely refuse to own a computer running Vista, I will be purchasing my first Mac. I'm quite excited about the idea and hope it will happen soon. Right now I'm running on my fathers laptop which he generously loaned to me. Unfortunately I have to return it to him on Tuesday and then I'll be regulated to using my desktop which is stationary in my bedroom...And since it's setup on a nightstand at the foot of my bed it isn't the most comfortable place to work/play from. I'll just think of it as motivation to get my credit cards paid off though.

There seems to be a problem with my blog. It views properly in Firefox but I recently discovered that nothing is centering properly in Internet Explorer. I don't use IE much except at work, and even then only for certain sites, so I hadn't noticed this special problem before today. I am trying to figure out how to fix the issue but until then things may look a little wacky around here. Of course, if you're visiting here through Firefox you probably aren't seeing any problem.
Oh, and I have no idea what my blog looks like in Safari or any other browsers so if you are using one of them and notice any problems, please let me know.
Today I got to make an unexpected (and expensive) trip to the dentist. That's what I get for flossing...I actually pulled out one of fillings. All I did was try and floss after lunch and all of a sudden there was a huge hole in my tooth...one second my teeth were fine, the next I can get my tongue stuck in the gap between my two teeth.
Luckily my dentist was able to get me in right away...unfortunately I had to get a new filling that cost a small fortune...oh and when taking the x-ray of the damaged tooth they also found the start of another cavity (I could barely see what they were pointing to) so I get to go back in a couple weeks and have that one filled as well...Yipee...
I'm dreaming about going back to Europe so I thought I would post a photo from my last trip to London...Also, I didn't want to go another day without posting something and I couldn't come up with anything really clever to write about. So instead you get a picture of Big Ben. Enjoy!
Ever just have one of those days at work where everything you do seems to be wrong or is just not good enough? Those days are just delightful aren't they?
