waiting for the harddrive

ups again screwed up delivery here
i don't know why, but they only actually find us occasionally
today i am waiting on an external hard drive..........when it arrives i will be backing up the computer and upgrading to windows 7
reluctantly
but i hate vista so i have to do it
then if that works well, i will be partitioning the drive and taking the old win98 + software off the old dell and moving it
bernie will get the old dell to play his old games and i am even thinking of upgrading that harddrive and chip set

now, today i am wanting to do the studio work but i still can't move the heavy stuff.....so i have to wait til bernie can
i may go get some casters for the drafting table and desk however
and possibly the one little shelf
at least if i do that i will be getting some more done
i also need a mini blind to go on the one side actually i need two of them so i should make a list

once i get everything up on wheels and moved....... i am going to put the baby budgies in the other room and faux whitewash the walls in here
then the drop cloth curtains will get made.........i am going to block print them i think, i would LIKE to find a rubber stamp to use but if i can't......i'll make something myself

i am also trying to get two more estimates for a fence to ditch the cursing little house guest,
it's not the dogs fault they are annoying little shits.........it's the irresponsible neighbors 20 year old permanent house guest

meanwhile my very favorite holiday is almost here
i love my halloween............ not the bloody gory thing that everyone else seems to have
but the mysterious, other worldly truly awe inspireing idea of this is not the only thing
that there is another life beyond
i love the ghost stories but i am always so firmly reminded that to have a ghost story......you have to start with a living person......
and i don't like the tragic ones, i worry that the ghost got stuck.
i do however love the ones where the ghost was happy and is just coming back for a visit......

our ghost richard i think is like that....he's not stuck but happy to come visit occationally
(although i do worry that he maybe is lonely and needs the company of a female ghost)

happy holiday to you all
enjoy your illuminated pumpkins, your full moons and witches........

i will be

vi

    To me Halloween is just like the rest, just another holiday that has no significance to me. I'm not a holiday type person. Bah humbug. haha

    Did you know that the new Windows 7 does not have an internal e-mail program? It only provides you with Windows Live Mail, which is in the clouds. I'm hanging on to my Vista until someone comes out with a dedicated internal e-mail program. I don't like my messages in the clouds where hackers can get at them. But to each his own. :)
