Jay and I recently got a new desk-top computer. It now lives in its rightful home, our office. For about a month (or maybe more, I lose track of time these days), it lived in the media room because the computer desk in the office was too small. Why, you might ask since it was already being used for the old computer? Because this round, we have two 24 in. monitors side-by-side. Jay has two or three monitors side-by-side at work, but I always assumed that was because of the type of work he does. I fully believed that I would continue to only use one monitor even though we now have the 2 in the office (in fact, I down-right refused to even try using two… initially…). Then, one day last week, I was doing some homework and kept having to click back and forth between the questions I was supposed to be answering and my response. Suddenly I realized I could just ’slide’ one window over to the monitor on the right and continue typing in the window open on the monitor on the left – and oh my gosh, I’m hooked! How did I live before without being able to totally spread out the windows I have open so I could see multiple ones at the same time – in a normal size! I do this with real papers I’m working with so why not on the computer too? At least on the computer, it looks a whole lot neater than the desk itself – currently strewn with papers.

Wow. Seriously? I can’t believe Muriel is one year old today. My baby! I went to the cave today and pulled out two pairs of Niamh’s old baby shoes since she’s walking now and needs a bit more protection than the Robeez can provide. But am refusing to call her a toddler!

one year

I’m busy writing a wedding ceremony (not going well) and our computer with all of our music is not currently functioning but in light of my current circumstances I HAVE been trying to narrow down some of my favorite love songs. I’ll try to compile that list soon but for now think of some of your own and list them!
