Sunday

Mm. Yummy dinner: tilapia, frozen spinach, canned sliced mushrooms, a spoonful of cottage cheese, and some parmesan. Tastes rich, but isn't heavy. Taenzer liked it too. :) (she got to lick the bowl)


I had to give up and order Windows XP for my laptop. My friend at work who's good with computers helped me out, but eventually we hit a wall where apparently the only solution is to do a "clean install" of Windows XP, and then reload the drivers and programs. Thing is, all I got with my laptop was the recovery disk, no Windows. So I ordered Windows from TigerDirect. They're fast, so I'll probably get it tomorrow or Tuesday, and will probably spend a lot of time next week installing and downloading.


Er--as long as the hard drive isn't damaged. That's still a possibility. I've got my fingers crossed.


Oh, and as long as I was spending money I don't have, I caved and ordered a new digital camera, so I hope to be able to start posting pictures here again pretty soon. I decided to get another Canon since I liked the first one so much. I hope the autumn clematis is still looking good when it comes--I promised to post a picture of it for my friend Jane, who planted one in her yard this year.


I did some laundry today and changed the bed, and did a lot of knitting--the striped sweater outside and the tweedy sweater inside. I had the first sleeve nearly done on the tweedy sweater, but decided I didn't like the way the decreases looked, so I ripped it out and started over.

Fall gives me wanderlust. I sure wish I still had Stella and could go visiting.
