It’s the same one as M:THEBIGGIRL.  so i considered, as i plugged her in, what should I call you?  N:THEOTHERWOMAN didn’t fit. and N:THEOTHERGIRL didn’t fit either. but more importantly, why oh why is my desktop computer not recognizing both of my drives? what? In all the craziness, it assigned the new drive to the letter M: as well. wha?! So only one was being recognized at a time! and how am I supposed to duplicate everything from M:THEBIGGIRL to the other yet to be named drive?  insert google help.  I asked google and it told me how to reassign drive letters. it was simple and painless. and in the process I had an epiphany about my new drives.  call me obsessive if you must, but let me introduce you:


I now have M:EDWARD, N:JACOB AND G:BELLA (who goes with the laptop on a short cable)

I spent most of the day yesterday copying files from M:EDWARD to N:JACOB.  and today I’ve spent most of the day reorganizing and redownloading a few of the kits i got this past month.  I am also looking to an online service, probably mozy.

Yesterday’s picture of the day, Jalen gets out of school early on Thursdays so he got to go with me to pick up Jordan. They had a little fun time on the swings :)

Wednesday: aprons in my kitchen=happiness :)

Tuesday: a hybrid door hanger thingy.

and I have to tell you. i just dropped my (*%&(&* camera. on my 50mm. i swear. i should just work on everything on the floor.

it will get better. it will get better.

Thanks for stopping by, love love and blog you again real soon!

Joscie, rhymes with bossy!
