I"M TRYIN'

Damn, sometimes I get so frustrated with this technology stuff!!
I don't know why, but my computer would not download the software for my camera.
So, I ended up having the pics on two cards transfered to a CD--$3.50, not bad.
My CD player does not work.
I tried swapping it out and it still doesn't work.
So, I went to the public library and tried to use one of their public computers.
No luck, I even asked for help.
However, and this may be a long way around, but I found out I can transfer my CD pics to a floppy.
So that's the plan for now.
Tomorrow after work, go back to the library and transfer the three pics of me to a floppy. Then I can bring those home and ssend them to CYN, and put them up here.
Keep your fingers crossed!!

I also got four more books:
Patricia Cornwell--The Front (I love this lady!!)
Writing Creative Non-Fiction-Edited by Carolyn Forche' and Phillip Gerard
Elizabeth Horowitz-WaterColour for the first time-a beginner's guide
Keith West-Painting Plant Portraits-a step-by-step guide

Picked up an application for a new job in the kitchen at our local college, my friend works there. This could be a lot of fun.

Waiting to talk to my new super good friend CYN tonight. I hope.

Been thinking about my life lately and honestly, I have lived a pretty interesting life so far.

I guess the first REALLY interesting thing was the singing group I was in, in the 5th grade--The Combo's.
Lowell Showboat, Allegan Fair, lot's of private parties.
The summer between 6th grade, elementary school and 7th grade, middle school, I had plastic surgery
on my ears.
Not much in middle school.
High School was choir, and then in 12th grade, second semester I got into madrigals and ended up being
the spokes-person, excellent experience. Also, a dance band.

Yea, I'd say there's a few stories in my life.
But, for now, I'm trying to figure out my future.
I have very few responsibilities: my girls (both adults), my two cat's, my mother (whom I have not talked to
for over two years,) some people I owe money to, and ME!!

That's the issue of the day--where am I going??
