It would be better with a Fat Lady

It has only been a couple weeks since my last post, which isn't unusual, yet when I  went to sign in to blogger today; I forgot my password. It just wasn't in my brain, and I knew that trying to remember it was a lost cause. So I followed the "forgot password" steps and it sent it to my e-mail. As I went to sign into my e-mail I thought, what if I forgot the password to my e-mail? So then I started the "forgot password" process for that one too, just to see. Its brilliant idea was to either send it to another e-mail account, if you had another associated with it, or to type in your birth date. Well, now your choices are to hope that you are well acquainted with electronic postal services, and pray you don't forget those passwords too, lest you start a chain of security questions and Captcha codes that could go as long as lining up all the Chinese around the Earth. Or you can hope you put your actual birthday, which isn't always the case; I have three Neopets accounts (don't judge) that I can no longer use for this reason. But then, what if you forget the answer to your security question?! Lucky for me, "Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?" is a question I will always remember the answer to.

My new computer!

I got a new computer today! You have no idea how nice it is to have a computer that actually works. I don't have to worry about it randomly shutting off in the middle of a paper or turning off because I touched it to try to turn in 5 degrees to the left. And I finally have a webcam. Holla! Hit me up with your Skype names people! So I can finally see my beautiful friends' faces, even when they are away at college. The best part is, that I can do things like this:

 I think that's a good look for me. Don't you?

A pugly situation

I was driving to Harper today. I was doing my best, but let's be honest I'm not a very good driver. The driving was going ok though, that is, until a dog ran across the busy, 45mph street- right in front of my car. I tried to slow down without slamming the breaks so I wouldn't get hit from behind, but as I came closer to where the dog was it was clear that I wouln't be able to stop before I got to him. I quickly looked to my right and thank God there were no cars there and I moved over and stopped because the dog was still crossing. At that point the dog was somewhere behind me although I couldn't see him and I was worried that he might have gone under the car. Then I saw him though and drove off, but as I did I saw in my rearview mirror that little pug run back accross the street in the opposite direction.

I hope that dog picks a side of the street and sticks to it because I'm afraid if he keeps running back and forth, on my way back home I will see him again, but, this time, he won't be running.

Aye, lass: A book review

When I woke up last Monday, it felt like summer. Last year between ear surgery, everyone leaving for college, and me not finishing a single novel; it didn't feel like summer; it just felt like "eh." This year though, the sun has been shining, I got to so swimming once, and I am reading a great book.

It is the perfect summer read. Genre-wise it is a cross of romance, historical fiction, and fantasy. It has everything a woman wants for her summer reads with both edge-of-your-seat action and suspense and love between the characters that is so powerful that, let's face it, there's nothing between the characters- if you catch my drift. Also, it takes place in historical Scotland with a modern English woman as the main character: hence my new vocabulary.

I'll lend this book to ye if you want. I found it is good to keep the mind off things like family parties and root canals.

The book: Outlander By Diana Gabaldon
