Technology Woes

by Mindy Obenhaus

I am not in a good mood. Technology has gotten the best of me. I mean, I bought a new computer. That's supposed to be exciting, right? And it was, until I tried to sign on the next day and discovered I was locked out. I tried that password every which way and nothing worked. Tech support said the system would have to be reset. Fortunately, I hadn't added any files yet, only Microsoft Office. And I was thrilled to discover that those files still remained after the reset. Except they didn't work. That meant I had to go one-on-one with Microsoft tech support. 

The good news is that, as I type this, most everything has been squared away and things are starting to look up. But I'm still cranky. So to lift my spirits, I must tell you about the fun we had this weekend.

Guess who turned one?

Can you believe it's been a year since Max came into the world? Little does he know that this will likely be the only time in his life when he gets an entire cake to himself.

Of course, Miss Taegan had to come see her favorite cousin. It's always interesting when these two get together. 

Hey, this chick is smaller than me.

Me thinks he likes his cousin.

And, of course, I was in Grammy heaven.

I'll take babies over technology any day.

So what's going on with you? Are you technologically savvy or does it drive you bonkers, too? Has spring finally come to visit you? If so, what are you doing to celebrate?
