To PC or Mac that is the question...

There are things that one should do and things that one should not.  But I'm wondering how stringent those "things" really are?

Esoteric I know...but go with me here.  I am currently blogging from an older but very friendly Mac laptop, my PC laptop having once again apparently been rendered useless by a forced background update from Microsoft.  I shouldn't say useless - just frustratingly slow and confused.

So I have finally broken down and am cheating on my PC with - heaven forbid - a Mac.  As I use the evil infidel that is Mac I find myself sailing through my usual PC tasks - email, hotmail, blogging, electronic living, with some hinderance due to the learning curve (it has been YEARS since I've used a Mac) and finding myself pleasantly surprised.  Its efficient -so far - I haven't gotten any dreaded blue screens or error messages as of yet - and low and behold I'm not having to wait for EVER to get things loaded and moving....

I'm not sure but this could spell slight disaster for my newer but bug infused little PC laptop......

BUT can you really ever teach an old dog new tricks....

we shall see  :-) Perhaps we will be come a diverse household after all, I mean really can't we all just get along?

Vacation Part Two

Okay please disregard the previous post.  The vacation was all that was expected and more!!! 

There were some ups and downs but over all everything went very well.  A happy family makes for a happy mommy and I am a happy mommy.

I am thankful that we went, thankful that we are all back safe and sound.  Thankful that the family enjoyed themselves and relaxed a bit, that we all had time to enjoy each other away from the hustle and bustle of every day.

Simply and honestly I am just Thankful.  We are rested and ready to jump back into our normal hustle and bustle, but for a brief, shinning, spectacular seven days we were in paradise. 

These are the moments I live for and hope that my family will hold onto forever.

PS - I must add that our vacation spot re affirmed quite a lot of my lost confidence in humans as a whole.  The people, tourists included, where we went were completely and totally wonderful!  Customer service is truly about the customer, people were actually kind to each other just because, and courtesy is alive and well - there is hope for the future!!
