5 Things In 5 Minutes

1. I really liked it when people whose blogs I follow make entries frequently. I really dislike it when no one has blogged lately. I pretty sure that makes me seem a bit desperate.
2. We have recovered almost all of our photos, which, if you don't know, were lost in some sort computer @*&*&#%&! And we have no idea why. I say almost because there are about 500 fewer jpeg files now than there were before. (When you have over 17 thousand photos, 500 doesn't seem like a big deal.) And we have no idea why. And each jpeg file is twice as big as before. And we have no idea why. And they are all named "lostfile00004446389984" or something like that. And we have no... You get the picture.
3. Back-up. Back-up. Back-up.
4. I am 40 now. It is not too big of a deal. I went through a bigger age crisis when I was a 37 year old pregnant woman. Still, I'm thinking I should not waste too much time waiting for things to happen. Like I wasn't impatient enough before.
5. The Little One has become very interested in Thomas and Duplo. The fun part of that is that the Older Boys are having such a good time digging out their old toys and "helping" him play.

No photos today. See #2.

I like your philosophy of not waiting for things to happen. Yes, you are 40, but you are also healthy, beautiful & vibrant. (it's these same traits which help you cope when life gets complicated ;-)

Live long and prosper!

I TOTALLY agree with #1.
#2 sucks...big time. Glad most of your photos are not gone for good.
#3 - appreciate the reminder.
#4 - forty, shmorty.
#5 - yay for big brothers...and hand-me-down toys!

I agree with number #1 too!

And gosh, each time you mention what happened in #2 I get anxious. You are handling that setback MUCH better than I would be.

I chuckled out loud when you wrote: "I went through a bigger crisis when I was a 37 year old pregnant woman." Funny thing is, I am ALWAYS a bit surprised when our ages are brought up. I do not feel like there is a 10 year age difference between us. You are young beyond your years my friend. And I think being a 37 year old pregnant woman helped with that!!
