Technologically Inept

As most of you know, I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person. I can set up my own computer system, burn cd's, copy discs, even make myself a cappuccino with my fancy espresso machine that I did not need directions in order to use. So why is it so damn hard to figure out how to set up my MP3 player? Ugh!!!! Nick bought me a "Sansa" MP3 player last year on my birthday to use when I go for walks and stuff. Great! How exciting...I love new stuff. Well joy quickly turned to frustration when I could not figure out how to use the stupid thing. Do I need to hire a 13 year old kid in order to learn how to use it? In case you failed to realize this before, my birthday was almost 1 year ago. Every couple weeks I get a hair up my ass to try again, and only after a few hours of irritating error messages and me imagining I am throwing the computer out the window that I realize my efforts are not worth while. Sadly, it is one of those nights tonight. I got home from the gym and felt confident I could beat the computer....

ERROR!!!!!!

Toy Entrails Part Deux

Well...Maggie the destroyer has struck again. Sad to say that another beloved "baby" has bit the dust. We had dubbed him "Floppy Dog" due to his floppy ears.They come and go so fast in this household. Nick and I were sitting on the couch when we heard her squeaking Floppy Dog like crazy and before I know it I am picking up guts again. The above picture is once again of the carnage left in Maggie's path. In fact the last picture was taken a day before Floppy's demise, notice how intent she is on biting his head off!! Too bad too, because she was particularly fond of this one. Her daddy had brought it home with him from the grocery store and had become an instant favorite. She liked to get it in her mouth and then throw it from side to side whipping herself in the face with it. Needless to say Floppy was given a quick trash can burial along side its predecessors Happy Dog 1, Happy Dog 2 and countless other nameless stuffed toys and shoes. So long Floppy.... I guess it is off to Petsmart tomorrow.....
