Community Ed.

I went to the local community college today to sign up for an Auto Repair and Maintenance class. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? The purpose of my signing up was to get over my fear of under the hood. Pretty much I'm afraid that if I touch something, it'll blow up on me. Unreasonable? Probably. True? Unfortunately, yes. And it was perfect. 7 Saturday's for 2 hours. No problem with the babysitter, since there's no school on Saturdays. Right during/after naptime, so the baby would be good for the babysitter. So I went to sign up. After driving around the college for 15 minutes, I finally found the building that houses registration. Great! I load up baby and we get inside... only to find out that community ed registration is in a different building. So we get directions to that building and get baby back in the car, drive to the correct building, park in staff parking (hoping I don't get ticketed) and go inside... to find out that community ed is on the opposite side of the building. We get directions to the right part of the building and go through a maze of hallways. This time we find the right place... only to find out that the class has been canceled.

Death...

Did you think I'd died? I hope not. I would hate to be the cause of concern or worry or...you get the picture. To put your mind/heart at ease, I did not die, though our computer did. Now we have a nice, beautiful, perfectly working iMac. And yes, I love it, especially the working part. It has so many bells and whistles (not literally [at least that I know of. There are a lot of things I haven't discovered yet])! Now that I'm up and running again, I am so incredibly happy. You never know what you have until it's gone. And that's the truth (re: pictures, for those of you who know my sad, sad, sad story). But sometimes, what you get to replace the old is even better (re: computer. The iMac is truly great). Hmmm... I'm not sure I want to test the odds on getting better replacements. The point is, I'm once again connected to the world. It's a huge relief. Thanks for missing me. You did miss me, right?
