My 1st Toshiba Laptop from last night:
Yeah…once I started, I just couldn’t stop! It wasn’t really dirty, but it’s underlying problem wasn’t that it was shutting off due to overheating. This one doesn’t hold a charge, and even when it’s plugged into an outlet, it acts like the battery is the primary and will shut down after a short amount of time. I *thought* they had fixed the problem many moons ago, but after looking at the motherboard, it still looks like it needs a new DC jack - it’s all corroded. No wonder the poor thing can’t hold a charge. It’ll have to stay in pieces until I can find someone who’ll do the unsolder/soldering for me…it’s just not something I want to invest in. So, tonight I’d better get my homework that’s due Monday done before I tear into this laptop. It needs to be cleaned out because it is shutting down due to overheating…but if it’s like the other one, and the whole thing has to be taken apart to clean it, I’m going to to have to save up some patience.
Worship was awesome this morning - it felt so good to be back after a 2-week absence (tooth & head cold). We had a few glitches with the sound system, which is never fun, but we got through it. Here’s the last song we did today:
Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)
Imagine 6 of us singing…along with the whole congregation. It was so moving! I wish you all could be there…I even soloed on the last line. Not that I rocked it, but it was a first! Lots of those today…praying out loud after music practice and then praying out loud at the send of service. I think Pastor’s trying to push me out there to do the solo that I mentioned last year. Hmmm. We’ll see about that one!
5 Guys Burger & Fries opened over at one of the nearby malls, so I picked that up on the way home from church for lunch. Not the same as dining in…but still pretty darned tasty! Definitely, not an every week event…all those potatoes!!…but a nice treat.
Need to stop in at JoAnn’s and pick up some interfacing for a quilt top that Aunt Eileen & Gene are doing, the pattern is here:
Gene has her top done…in all blues (very frosty-looking!) and I think Aunt Eileen is doing hers in blue too. Me? I’m a red girl…love redwork! So, I need to get some interfacing for behind my stitchery panels in the center to help keep some of the thread tails from showing through that snowy white top. I’ll probably add some borders…I’m just not loving the star blocks going right to the edge…but that’s me. Gene tells us that some of those star blocks are a bugger…especially the small ones with lots of pieces. Not looking forward to those and may substitute some of my own star blocks into it. Went through some of my fabric/bins but have realized I’ve misplaced the pattern/instructions (man, I have a lot of fabric)! Good thing I’m not really ready to start it yet.
Okay, long day and it feels later than it is…and tomorrow is catch-up on homework day. Though it’s supposed to be the start of Spring Break. Ha! What a joke…next week we have our mid-terms. How cruel is that?! Tests in 4 of the 6 classes I have. Will try and head out to the beach one afternoon for a Pina Colada & a sunset…just because I can. Have a great one people!
