If you delete a user account and XP shows you a message about saving that user’s files in a folder on your desktop, that message is a prompt, not a promise. Save them yourself as XP is not going to do it automatically.

For the third year in a row, I give you my year in review, consisting of the first sentence from the first blog post of each month. For those with too much time on their hands, there is a link to each post.
January: Here’s what the Bluegrass Family is anticipating for 2007.
February: Just [...]

Shamelessly stolen from Busy Mom.
1. Wrapping or gift bags? Some of each. I like the fact that gift bags are more eco-friendly. And easier for oddly-shaped gifts.

Yeah, I’m going through one of those rough blogging patches. I started blogging as a way to keep friends and family up to date. A few of them read it, some more regularly than others. Other readers (and I only have a handful of regular ones) are people I’ve “met” through their [...]

BlondeMom tagged me for a meme where I tell you fascinating things about myself based on the first letters in my middle name. Easy for her, with the middle name “Lynn.” While my three sisters all have middle names with three or four letters, mine is “Elizabeth.” Up until now, I always [...]

When I got home from running errands, I unloaded the grocery bags, then sat down quickly to make sure I didn’t need to renew any of my library books online.
Then I checked my e-mail.
Then I ran through my Blogroll, leaving plenty of clever comments.
I also ordered a numeric keypad for my laptop.
I even did a couple [...]
I stole this one from Busy Mom, though I’ve seen it around before.
Tell 9 truths and one lie about yourself. Which is kind of hard if I exclude My 100 Things.
1. I was born several days late but weighed less than 5 pounds.
2. HS and I rarely use up our combined cell phone minutes each [...]
