So okay, it's my own fault. I came to England in the summer-berry (and double cream) season and ate huge fryups for weeks, only switching to muesli and healthy stuff when it was TOO LATE! I totally understand where the extra weight has come from. But WHYYYYY oh WHYYYYY couldn't some of it have gone to my boobs? My ass, even! Why the mid-section spread? I've always wanted boobs and an ass. No-one ever said "Oh me oh my, how I wish for a larger waist, as long as my boobs would just keep hanging there."
Anyway. On to more important things. (Not that my waistline isn't IMPORTANT, but I'm dealing with it. Today I did Karen's "Bliss Yoga" hour-and-a-half yoga CD, which is good for body AND soul.)
My computer needs a total factory re-thingy. It's had a problem since it was new, nothing serious, just "hmmmm...", and when I got in touch with Dell I ended up emailing back and forth with a Venezuelan technician. He emailed in Spanish, and I emailed in English, and we understood one another and got along okay. He talked me through dismantling the back of my machine and reseating things, and then we uploaded stuff, (all in Spanish) and the problem was much improved. Muchas Gracias, Dell Venezuela!
Anyway, the computer now refuses to charge at all, so I spoke to Dell again and living in a developed country is so awesome! They speak English, to begin with, and are raring to come and fix things. Sean reported his own Dell bugs, and a guy was here in a flash with new bits, advice and brilliance. So I'm going to have my own bugs sorted out, but first I have to back everything up. That should be fun!
Tomorrow, Preschool book review! All of the boys' old favourites. I've got a list going. Any suggestions/reminders?

Imagine this - you create a document and save it to your hard drive. It gets backed up. In the course of a week of editing, you make 5 changes to the document - each change saved to the hard drive as you make them. At the end of the week, you have the document at EACH STAGE of development, available to look at, go back to, whatever.
Look into that - not only to facilitate this repair - but also to do going forward - permanently.
Glad your computer is going to make it.
My sons LOVED Max & Ruby books and still love Curious George.
Can't wait for you book reviews. I love love love childrens books.
