Shelley's Tangents

So, those who know me know that I’m afraid of spiders… maybe not deathly, but spastic definitely.  I’m driving along and come to a stop light.  Now, mind you I have my window rolled down, singing along (no matter how horribly, but that’s a subject for another day) to some music and all of a sudden I see what seems to me a huge white spider in my car, near my hand!  Eek!  Thankfully I kept my foot on the brake and grabbed a CD case for Matilda on CD that me and the kids had just listened to and took three tries to kill it… just the thought is still making me shudder…

I was having a problem with the wireless thingie not working on the laptop, so I sent an email to the tech person to see if it was something I was missing or whatever.  They write back that it might sound silly, but to see if the little (i) was blue.  This sounded really silly, I mean I had checked everything else I could think of, but sure enough, it wasn’t on.  I didn’t even realize I could just touch it and have it turn on!  One of the children must have touched it and I didn’t even think of it… I guess I really should have read the manual on that one.
