Grrrrr
I've twice tried to blog about the past week. Twice, I've had crashes. I'm starting to not like Safari. Or I'm thinking that Moveable Type and Safari don't get along.
Too tired to see if the third time really is a charm. The short of it: last week involved a blog software meltdown, a truck break-down, a 10-hour loss of electricity, three days without phone or internet (aside from wifi stolen from the church across the street), four days without satellite, the humiliation of having a perfectly good check get declined by a company that couldn't stop an employee from stealing personal info and selling it, a visit from The Cuz, and raising a whopping $2440 via the Boob-Ha-Ha auction for Wendy's 3-day walk.
Okay, so that last part pretty much compensates for an otherwise super-shitty week. I know I've thanked everyone who donated goods and money, came to the party, spread the word, and such, but really, you can't be thanked enough. This was amazing. Truly.
I had said that if we raised $1000, I'd dye my hair pink. Give me a month to do that. I want to do it when Wendy shaves her head. That's right. She's met her $5000 fundraising goal and is going to do the 60-mile walk with a bald head.
And now I'm tired. Too tired to deal with Safari. A little blue from the post-goodtime-let-down that I always get. But that's a good reason to be let down. My house is in great shape. I got to spend time with The Cuz. The truck, utilities, check, and everything got resolved relatively fast. And we raised an amount of money we never anticipated for a good cause.
Now I'm returning to a life of changing my crappy blogging software and knitting.

Oh yay! I'm so happy both goals were met. You dyeing your hair and Wendy shaving hers is something I'm definitely looking forward to.
Be patient with your blogging software. You'll get it whipped into shape yet. After how you pulled off Boob-Ha-Ha with such success I'm convinced you can do anything.

Sounds like a crazy week is finally settling down, eh? A little down time always makes me kind of sad too when I've had a whirlwind week. For me, that's another week away. I can't wait to see the pink hair pictures, how will you keep Clara Jane from wanting pink hair of her very own?

Repaying your visit and dig your blog. Anyone who likes the Man in Black, the Clash and Morphine can't be too bad!

Try using Firefox for your browser. It's free and open source, has lots of cool extensions, and I like it much better than Safari. Safari is one of the mighty few things about Macs that I don't like. And I've owned one Mac or an Apple for the past 27 years.
