As luck would have it, my computer started acting haywire this afternoon.
First it wouldn't burn the CD's I needed for my class folders and then it wouldn't read my external hard drive...which has the Powerpoint presentation I need for my workshops in Florida.
So instead of packing for Florida, I spent the afternoon down at the computer repair shop.
I'm home now (frantically packing because my flight leaves at 6am) but my computer is not.
Thankfully, they were able to copy my Powerpoint presentation onto a CD for me but it looks like I'm not going to be able to get caught up on emails before heading out of town.
So if I owe you an email (And I'm embarrassed to admit that I have emails from early September that I still haven't responded to.) it'll have to wait until I'm back in town and my computer is up & running again.
And since I'm writing this from Cali's computer (Ross's girlfriend) I'll leave you with one of her photos...
Back next week (and I'm feeling a blogging spree coming on!)
Have a great time in Florida. You teach a great class and I know that they will learn a lot.

Computers... who knew they had great timing just like cars. Have a very productive trip. You're a mom to four I'm sure you have the art of winging it down to a science.

What an awful way to kick off your Florida weekend! Sounds like you have things under control, though - have a safe and wonderful time, and I can't wait for the blogging bug to return :)

Karen, thank you so much for a fantastic class today! My poor brain hurts, but I'm ready to give my camera a serious workout. So much new information, but so inspiring.
I'm considering crashing the class in Orlando tomorrow. Kidding, kidding.

I hope your flights to and from Florida are smooth and fast :) It was really wonderful to run into you the other day. Silly as it sounds I have missed seeing you :) Hope to see you in the Spring (if not sooner) so we can help you get some life in the yard!!

I second, or maybe third....bring on the blogging spree!!! Gosh, I miss your posts. Feel like you are my highly productive creative friend that keeps me on track, striving for more! Enjoy your time in Florida. Look forward to your posts when you return. Glad to hear Cali and Ross are still together (i'm assuming, since you are using her computer :) She appears in your photos as a girl with a kind heart and beautiful soul.
