Life has been so full I did not even post the entire month of March. I have been so busy that I did not realize this until I got an email from BlogHer telling me they were suspending my ad feed until I posted again (because of my absence). *sigh* The crazy thing is that I have written so many posts in my head and jotted down so many notes of what to blog about I thought I had blogged.

DOINK!

My birthday was in March. This was the first year it was actually really good and not warped with some negative memory. I thank my loving husband and the sweetest kiddos in the world for that. I must not forget to thank Angella for encouraging me to embrace it. Because my life has been riddled with crap on and related to situations of my birth/day I usually ignore it. We have a tradition in our house that the day after the birthday the birthday person gets birthday cake for breakfast (if there is any leftover and we usually put one piece aside just for this fun). I have been trying to cut back my calorie count a bit (I need to lose 20 pounds) so my birthday cake this year was Angel Food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for the younger, higher metabolism crowd. For breakfast I skipped the cake part but ate the strawberries. Fresh strawberries are just so wonderful!

By the way, I am still awaiting my birthday present; it was special ordered and still being made. I can not wait to get it!

Business backend is boring

For those of you that make it to the end of the post, I have a surprise.

For a number of months my MacBookPro screen has been giving me some trouble. I ordered my MBP in February of 2009. The screen began a strange flickering that started at the top of the screen and over the months worked its way down the screen. I had made a number of calls to the Apple support about it. The solution was to push this key and that key and the other key and even another key all at the same time and hold them for so many seconds and then do another set of this-that-the-other-and-another key holds and that was supposed to wipe out the video memory or something so that it wouldn’t do it again.

In about a week it would start over, progressing to almost the whole screen flickering and flashing and then going all strangely messed up and pixelated in a bad way. I never could remember what keys to push and mash and hold in what order so I’d call and we’d do it all over again. The problem was that I’d need to send my compy in to Apple so it could get a new video screen. About the same time the screen got really bad, the first time, my battery went out; it wouldn’t charge and it was only about nine months old. I expected some shortening over time but not a complete fail.
