Wow. I'm not really sure where this week got to. It really flew by. We spent an entire afternoon at the Apple store trying to resolve some major issues with our Macbook Pro. We've had it for a year and it's been sent in for repairs 3 times, and is still a disaster. I am a pretty big Mac devotee, but this computer has been a pain. So after a stressful afternoon, we finally got a suitable resolution: a new computer. To be fair, this is actually not my accomplishment,but Devin's. Forseeing the impending customer service confrontation, I decided to bow out right from the beginning and browse at a book store instead. Many magazines and half a novel later, he returned triumphant.
We went to see Dave Eggers give a talk about What Is The What. We were the first to arrive and then his flight was delayed and then we stuck around for the book signing, so it was a long night. It was well worth it to see one of my favorite authors. He really spends time with each and every person at the signing. Something that you don't really appreciate until you are the one at the front of the line. He and Devin chatted a little about the non-profit Devin is starting and he gave a little advice and encouragement,which was really nice.
This weekend we are finally making the trip to Chicago to see our baby niece for the first time. It's pretty exciting to be an aunt and uncle. Ramona went to my parents last night to be dog sat for the weekend. There's always more coming and going there,so she really loves it,even if she is completely intimidated by the cats. So, we're off. Next week the "print shop" will be initiated, and the recent reads discussed.
Last but not least I decided to join the color posting week over at The Glass Doorknob . Todays color is red.
