There are times in your life when you get sick and you are absolutely thrilled to have a nurse or even better yet. . . a doctor in the family. Well, no doctors here. But I AM thrilled to have a Computer Doctor as a friend.

My boss, DeWitte, is THE man. I swear it was only a matter of minutes that he had his hot little hands on my computer before he diagnosed RAM problems. He reseated my RAM, instructed me to buy more, and it seems to be behaving itself. (Let’s keep our fingers crossed) I did order more RAM . . . because a girl can never have too much RAM (AND just in case my current RAM IS bad – I’ll be ready).

Since my sad computer issues have consumed all my evening time for days, I decided to steal this from SleepDeprivedMomma until I can get back in the kitchen. I can’t wait to get back into the kitchen. I’m down to NO groceries and/or leftovers in my house so I was forced to eat fast food today for lunch. Now I feel icky. . . kinda like I’ve eaten lead. I’ll get back into the swing of things in no time.

This is what I stole. Try it!
