odds and ends
odds:
My eldest son said, "Mommy, what's this?" as he pointed to the flying squirrel skin under my 42 year old arm. "That's mommy's skin," I replied with a forced lilt in my voice. Jona gently squeezed my arm and said, "I like it! It's slushy."
Though she is continuing to ask Jesus for twin sisters, our dear miss Keona has now decided that she wants 6 boys and 6 girls when she grows up. Furthermore, she will live in a house we help her build right next to us and have horses we can ride to help her take care of her children. Count me in!
Precious Louie has learned how to kiss--those fabulous, sloppy, kisses. He gives them whenever we ask for them. Glorious.
ends:
My computer saga has closed a chapter on an old faithful computer that lasted 5 years before it's demise via virus. Today--as in ALL day--I uploaded and reloaded programs and files onto my new laptop.
I wrestled between a Dell and a Mac. But in the end chose the Dell...because almost everywhere I speak still uses PCs, a wise friend (who has both) reminded me that this is not the season for me to learn a new operating system, and Dells are just prettier. I'm serious. Mine is a "red swirl".
Jonathan is certain that I should have gone with a Mac. He's been whispering in my ear, "Mom, Macs don't get viruses...Macs don't crash...Macs are better with graphics..." Now WHERE does he pick up this propaganda??? I think it's subliminal: somewhere within the Mac there's this message of Mac-superiority emanating through the pixels. I truly would have liked to comply with his wishes. Maybe next time...

Oooh, red swirls... Nice!
LOLWT (w/tears!) while writing from my...Mac. Is there some way to give a guy a cyber hi-five? If so, here's one for Jona! ;~)
May Father God grant you and your Dell many virus free years together!
And speaking of years (and ends), Alicia, I am now going to be spending my last few minutes at 42 sitting here thinking about slushy skin...UnbeLIEVable! ;~p
I'm a PC girl, personally. Your children are adorable, by the way - and I am always blessed when I stop by.
Jonathan is just smart.
Uhm, Stefa, is he smart about the Mac or my arms????
Gotta love it. Just gotta love it.
Before I saw your response I realized I should make clear that I mean that he's smart about the Mac thing and not the slushy thing. : )
Um, Alicia--"Tag, you're it!", IF you want to be... Explanation is on my blog...
Take care, -lj
