Tidbits: missed memos, iMac?, organization, and kitchenware encyclopedia
Ok, I know I said I was going to keep it to specific categories, but I just have a few tidbits.
---
I work at a kitchenware store now. I'm learning all about kitchen stuff. There's a book all about kitchen tools which is kind of like an encyclopedia. During boring times, I read it and study it. I'm in the pots and pans chapter now. I'm just full of information.

We had two computers. Each one was a PC. Each one broke. Then a good friend (thanks so much!) gave us his leftover iMac (by the way, is this a loan or a gift? Just want to make sure...) and while I'm so thankful, I have to confess I'm just not getting bit by the Apple bug. I'm used to a PC and I'm good at a PC and I just rock with Microsoft Word, and I don't understand the iMac. Maybe you need to come over for dinner and explain the organic, easy-to-understand organizational system here. It's just not clicking with me.
Don't get me wrong! I'm so so so grateful to have computer access at home, but I think I just missed out on the "Everyone Loves a Mac and Here's Why" memo.

I miss a lot of memos. Somehow I tend to blunder socially or relationally, and don't realize it till it's too late. Some people are color blind...I think I'm Status Quo Blind (or at least impaired). Thankfully friends and family clue me in, and I've learned to ask when I'm not sure.

Maybe my discomfort with the Mac is related to the fact that our internet access in our new home is s-l-o-w. Not quite as slow as molasses on a winter day in Alaska, but definitely as slow as molasses on a winter day in, say, Florida. Or maybe Georgia. Seriously, I just get so frustrated waiting so long. Sometimes it just stops altogether and the page is still not loaded the next morning.

I'm working at getting organized. I have to be, and it's nice to have more motivation to be so organized. Off I go then (to quote Mary Poppins, "spit spot!"), to make my list for today and my list for next week.
