I Feel Like Alexander...

Wasn't it Alexander who had the terrible, awful, horrible, very bad no-good day? Well, I had a day like that today.

Okay I'm exaggerating but any day that starts off with a computer snafu is a pain in the neck. I woke up this morning with plans to spend the whole day working on a project I am trying to wrap up and I booted up and everything went flooooeeeyyyy. All my drivers were wacko and I have some king of registry problem. I hate this stuff.

So after hours and hours and hours of screwing around like I know something I realized that the only really immediate problem I had was that my mouse wasn't working. A quick trip the Radio Shack fixed that. And managed to sort out a few of the other problems but I still have to figure out this registry thingie. But, for now, I can at least work enough to make customers happy --- I think.

So, if I don't post for a few days, don't worry. I called my buddy Doug who knows everything about computers and, eventually, we'll get this figured out. The real irony in this is that I just bought myself a much-longed for MP3 player and I hadn't even hooked it up when this thing went wacko so I am going to have to wait awhile longer until I get to play with my new toy.

However, the good thing is I discovered something very cool. The young knitters who come up with endless varieties of cool stuff have been designing adorable "cozies" to carry around cell phones, Blackberries, iPods, etc. and I had been thinking I was going to have to make one of those for my new gizmo. But then I remembered a beaded stash bag I made years and years ago when I was caught up in the beading craze. I found a darling little black velvet bag lined in gold satin and covered with beads that I kept because of the endless hours of work I had put into it. Guess what? The MP3 player and headphones fit perfectly. So now I have an MP3 player in a very chic bag. I can't connect to my computer at the moment but so what, it looks great!!!

Thanks for reading.
