Live from Fresnillo...Midweek Update!

Here are a few random thoughts for this week...

• I have had several successful accomplishments and breakthroughs this week: the Drano is making a difference in my shower, I figured out how to connect my computer to the printer we recently inherited (thanks, Mary!) even without the installation CD (actually this was my smart Mac's accomplishment, not mine), and I got to cross off several projects/tasks on my list today. These may seem like small things to most people, but it's amazing what kind of difference they make especially if you have been showering in ankle-deep water, need to print your newsletter later this week, and have had some seemingly-inefficient days lately where you couldn't finish anything.
• Even predictable people you know very well can still surprise you. Yesterday, I surprised myself with a thought that was very uncharacteristic of me. I was opening one of my drawers, saw some winter clothes, and thought almost subconsciously, "Oh, winter! It will be nice when it's winter again." What?! Where did this come from? I pretty much hate winter and spring can never come quickly enough again for me each year! I suppose the thought (which was very fleeting and quickly corrected by my conscious mind) came mostly from seeing some winter clothes that I hadn't worn in awhile. This part is not very surprising since I always look longingly at my skirts and flip-flops each January, wishing it could be spring again. Apparently, while I might occasionally have whimsical, out-of-the-blue thoughts, some things do not change.
• I used to sometimes watch SNL when I lived in the U.S., hence the title tribute. I loved being on central time because it came on earlier, and I almost always turned it off after Weekend Update and then went to bed...which is where I am off to now!
