Mac or no?

I updated my windows vista service pack recently. It asked me to reboot afterward but it never turned back on. I haven't been able to turn it on in safe mode or anything so a system restore isn't really an option. Neither Joe or I have been able to fix it or find anything about how to fix it. Any computer geniuses out there that can help? Otherwise (and I not so secretly want this) I would have to get a new computer...

I've been considering going to a Mac, but I'm afraid of change. I'd have to learn the new interface but I'm sure I could handle it. Thoughts on getting a Mac?

Yardwork.

Joe, his dad and I headed down to Pittsburgh this morning to finally take care of a jungle at our house on the market. Let's just say the curb appeal wasn't non-existent. Evidently, we hadn't made it down there for awhile. Here are some before and after pictures:

Looks a little better, right?

Dear Google,

You are brilliant and I will have to blame you for my decreased work ethic.

Love,

Greyson Chance

This is a 12 year-old who was on The Ellen DeGerneres Show this past week (I like her show). I thought he was very talented especially for his age. His song starts at the 40 second mark.



Frustration that this video is not the size I would like.

Summerish afternoon.

Since Joe was gone Monday and Tuesday for some business meetings, we planned some fun activities upon his return. After work, we quickly changed and headed to the golf course. Joe was especially excited about this since he hasn't been golfing as frequently as he would like. Then we came home to grill out some burgers. It was a wonderful summer-like evening!

Ryan & Holly's Wedding.

Joe and I enjoyed our weekend up in Erie, PA for my cousin's wedding. Although the weather was bad, the ceremony was beautiful and the reception a blast.

My cousins' very cute girls.

I just read this quote on the bottom of my Honest Tea lid and thought I would share:

"We must be willing to let go of the life we've planned to have the life that is waiting for us."
