JANUARY-LEARNING TO USE MY MAC-WHAT THE WHAT?!

Well....
There you have it..
I am TRYING to get back into posting
even though I have 
NOT figured out this
STUPID computer yet.
I still don't know what I am doing----
as if I ever did!

However-
I am going to figure this
stupid thing out!
Yes.I.Am.
As you can see, I have already
figured out how to do the
cross-out thingy.

My motto is~

Sometimes all we have to do
is believe in ourselves, right?
Well, I might need a little
God-help with this one.

I did get Christmas packed away
in between saying bad word 
under my breath about the
computer refusing to do what 
I wanted it to do....

So onward I go into
JANUARY-
I think I might need a few 
cute little snowmen to 
see me through January.
 
Instead of making Christmas candy
I might just make our
Little Miss Bright Eyes
a sweet skirt
like this one.
I won't be making one of those
for myself-
thank you very much--
I am HIPPY ENOUGH already
and I don't mean like this....

Just call me Ms January-
as I spend the month
bundled up and 
trying to figure things out.
Meanwhile--
the REAL Ms. January
looks like this....
I should not have shared that
picture with MyHero...
Look at what happened
to the cookie he was holding!


Oh great!
Now I have to bake again, too!
It is gonna be quite a month!

Have a great week- 
I hope to have this all figured
out in a day or two.

Yeah--right..

  1. I just found your blog and you are delightful! Don't you think we need a major holiday to celebrate in January? It seems a long way until Valentine's Day!

  2. I used to use a MAC when I worked for the science museum. It's different, but not that hard at all. In fact, once you learn it, you won't want to go back. Loved the picture of that cookie. Now I think I have to bake this week. All the Christmas treats are gone. I decorate my house with snowmen during January. It's the thing to do, isn't it?

  4. I have never used a mac so I have no words of wisdom to offer. Ms. January looks pretty grumpy.

  11. last year, Bob said to me, why don't you ever wear your jeans mini skirt??? bra ha ha... men.. love the snowmen. the skirt is adorable, agree not for me.I have often stated i wish I had a Mac, maybe i should stop saying that.

  12. The only Mac I know is Mac 'n Cheese. Most of us who read have said a 'bad word' under our breath.
    'Dung', the English version, is the one I utter over this HP at times.
    Anyway methinks you done great.

  17. Happy New Year, dear Diana! I have such a love/hate relationship with technology, mostly hate. Hope you get that darned computer working. If not, do what I do - drink a bottle of wine and then you won't care.

  18. Diana, You made me laugh...not about the computer troubles but about the cookie. LOL Honestly there are times I want to take a hammer to our computer and phones and all that electronic stuff. I could almost live off the grid...as long as it wasn't in a cold isolated place. LOL. I know you have done better than I can on your computer. It would be so much better if we could have our kids or any tech person in our home...but this time isn't all that safe. Stay strong girl, you can do it. Blessings to you and yours. love you, stay safe. xoxo, Susie

  19. You are hilarious!! Thank you for making me chuckle and laugh out loud. I talk to myself a lot too. It's a sign of great intelligence they say. I don't know who THEY are, but it's what THEY say! LOL. Happy New Year!

  21. I love my MAC and have always had one.
    What a great cookie!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, Macs are the best, but of course require an entire new learning curve. But it looks like you are doing great!! LOVE the snowmen balls and skirt!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love my MAC and would never change back to a PC. You will get it just takes some learning curve time. I have a cell phone and an IPad so I am use to the MAC system and love it. Those snowman cookies look so good especially today with detoxing from sugar. I could eat the screen lol! Have a great week. xoxo Kris

  24. Good luck with the Mac! I'm old enough that I really don't want to anything too difficult. Taxes the brain too much...lol!

  25. Well, Diana, who are we kidding? If we haven't figured it out by now (I will admit that I have a few years on you, but I still haven't figured it out so see what you have to look forward to?) Oh, well, it sure is a lot of fun trying, right?!! Happy New Year to you and stay well. If we can do that then who could ask for anything more?..xxoJudy

    Stay warm! Hugs, Cecilia

  30. You just need to practice every single day. I have a new laptop for Christmas. I am not sure why because everything else was working. It is smaller than the other laptop so I get to sit in my chair and do my thing, which currently is visiting you. Stay warm, stay cozy, show us what you've been up to in the new house. I know you've been up to things!

  38. oh, Miss Diana, you just crack me up! i know that this whole computer world that changes constantly can be a real pain in the......... neck...... ;) i wish you well in learning a whole new op system. (and if it makes you feel better, i've been blogging for 19 years and i STILL don't know how to do the 'cross out the letters' thingy, so you are way ahead of me!!!) happy new year, sweet girl <3 ~ deb

  39. Good luck with the MAC, Diana. I have an Iphone, but that's all I know about Apple products. Those who have them swear by them (once they quit baking cookies and figure out how to learn it.) Happy New Year!

  40. I hope you learn how to use your new mac and have a happy new year Diana.

  44. Came by the other day to leave a comment....and I must have gotten distracted cause apparently I only MEANT to leave one!! lol....So, let me try this again. Love the cookie. I have never made anything like that. Looks cute and I bet taste is so good. Totally love the little skirt and as Hippie as I am also, I would not want one of those for myself. LOL....Have a great week.

  45. It takes a bit of getting used to, but you'll get there. Once you got it, you'll love it and never want to go back to a PC. In the meantime, I say make that skirt. Cute! xo

  49. I love my Mac and found it easy to get used too, but was also using the iPhone. The new blogger format is frustrating but I figured even Window operators have the same trouble. Wishing you luck as you figure it all out!

  51. LOVED you4 motto for the year. It really hit home for me, as I had to drive a long way and then up the mountain to get to my new home. I thought it would be cliffs and winding ways, but it was like a country road. The prettiest mountain drive I've ever been on. Happy New Year Diana! I hope John is Ok. And have a nice and restful break. I wish I could, but I'm cleaning and moving in haha. Love that hippy girl picture. : )
