No, this is NOT the first time Marilyn and I have tackled NaNoWriMo (Nation Novel Writing Month -- I can never seem to remember the full name, by the way!). We both won in 2005 and 2008. What's surprising is that it's been ten years since the last time we did it ( Read more... )

We were supposed to be bringing Colin and Henry with us to the beach. But Colin HID twice -- once before Marilyn got home from the office, and again just when we were getting ready to leave ( Read more... )

I can't BELIEVE one of my monitors is out now at work!!! I have to tell you, once you get used to working with dual monitors, you can't go back to a single one. You get spoiled pretty darn fast!!! For those of us doing website work, it's so helpful to be able to put Copy up on one monitor and do the coding on another. Very odd in light of Marilyn's ( Read more... )

With a great deal of determination (!!!), I've managed to get an awful lot done this week ( Read more... )

This was Donn's first real work day at the office. He and Denise arrived around 10:00 a.m. and were there until 3:00 p.m. (She was helping him out, as he's in a cast and can only use one hand. She's often helped him out with computer work in the past, by the way ( Read more... )

I got my dual monitors here at home this morning (from Donn).

Yes, I'm TOTALLY in LOVE with them!!!
