What I Can’t Let Go Of:
(just like the NPR Politics podcast on Fridays- minus the “Politics or otherwise” disclaimer.
This blog is publicly, a politics-free zone, so all musings will be “Otherwise“.)
Have you had one of those weeks where you’re lost in a deep vortex of ugly tech issues?
(and Thursday’s phone glitch from AT&T was a very minor hiccup)
Welcome to my week!
But I prefer to counter ugly frustration with humor. So:
“Technology: Making life easier since 1999, when we all thought dial-up was the pinnacle of human achievement.” – Me (with a touch of nostalgia)
“My computer’s idea of ‘fixing itself’ is usually just restarting everything and hoping I forget what I was doing.” – Unknown
“Trying to troubleshoot a tech issue is like trying to herd cats blindfolded with chopsticks.” – Unknown
“Debugging: The art of removing your mistakes one by one until you’re left with someone else’s mistakes.” – Unknown
“The best part about open-source software like WordPress? Free updates! The worst part? Free updates… that sometimes break everything.” – Unknown
“WordPress: So easy to use, even your grandma could set it up… if she had an internet connection, a computer, and wasn’t terrified of plugins.” – Unknown
“If technology makes life easier, why do I still feel so stressed?” – Me (probably)
Stressed? Not anymore!
How about you? If you had a tech-trying week too, I hope a bit of humor helped with the stress and frustration.

Shopping With Friends
As you may have noticed, I’ve been trying to add in some shopping for you.
I started with once a month with some of my blogger friends.
The response and the requests from you have convinced me you want more.
So as time permits, I’m trying to share some of my favorites finds.
This is the last Saturday of the month, so let’s see what were your favorites this month:
Obviously, you are into comfort fashion, too!
Updated athletic casual — great fabric, 6 colors, zippered pockets, 4 lengths!
Lightweight (but not see through) updated Henley. So cute and comfy, great for layering now, but also solo for A/C weather ahead.
18 colors!
I now have an LTK Shop. I’m busy getting is organized and filled with all my favorites, my go-to’s and of course some great new finds.
