I am no longer a PC....

Well technically I am a PC and a MAC as I still need to use PC's at work. I got a Macbook Pro laptop about a month ago to start using. I went through several stages. 1. excitement 2. getting really annoyed by the design....3. started to like the thing when my PC got a virus 4. ok, fun to surf the web 5. annoyed again that I did not know how to organize my files and use iPhoto 6. sold, but I need to figure out out to use this thing 


Love the mac feel but there were so many things I did not know how to do things like say.......post pictures to my blog. oops....hence the delay in anything from my recent adventures this past month. This morning due to a "staycation" day I spent a couple of hours at the mac store and tadah! Posting again! I will say they are fabulous at helping to figure things out, but they did not have late hours for classes so I waited to today to take the class. If you get one and transferring from PC to Mac - take the classes, do not delay! 


I am still figuring out this thing out but really sold on it! Now to understand all it can do....... off to take more classes.... ;)


Now that I have at least figured out how to post to my blog again I will be catching up photos and projects in the next couple of weeks!

Outdoor decor

I love my backyard....really love it. I love the view, I love how much room there is, and I love the trees.


I thought to share a few pics of what the backyard currently looks like. The pool cover just got fixed - It had been broken all year and just happened to get fixed the day after the haboob that happened in Phoenix. DOH. So after a week of cleaning the pool it now it swimmable again (love the trees, but it really does make a mess!). The cover has really helped stop the future dust storms from making a real mess of it! Though, when the cover is left on it makes the pool really warm so it has to be timed right to leave it on when storms come.


For those that did not see the haboob (really just a BIG dust storm) here is a peek.

Pillows from Target!

The pool is 40 feet by 16 feet - big enough to do laps in!
