I am reading and learning but my mind is on riding my bicycle today so I am not adding anything to the conversation because it would only be innuendo's anyways!

Cannot believe you don't have any drives though - that seems strange.

I say hook them up together and let them transfer data back and forth until they are both relieved!

ceilidh - 2009-11-13 9:32 AM I am an idiot. It does indeed have a DVD drive..
I have most of my data files backed up and will update and transfer the rest.
If I were to look to backup my e-mail stuff. internet bookmarks, etc. Where would I look?

Well I did not take advantage of the sun but I did get a run in at the Y with daughter #3! We were at a table and she says I don't want to sit here we should do something! So I suggested the track and she was all over it! This makes me very happy as she is the only child of mine that has weight issues. The other 3 are avg to skinnnnnnnny! Then there is B. She takes after me and we must work at staying a healthy weight but she is only 9 and I worry about her. We got a mile in, she only walked a few steps and finished in 10:20!

ceilidh - 2009-11-13 9:49 AM Okay, logging off here to get the new computer set up for internet... Hopefully it will all work. then I will worry about the file transfere another day.. Call me Scarlette. it is a pretty day and my new shoes are calling.

I may have to do some other types of file transfer as well, it being friday and only a 1/2 day of work.... DH is happy about that!

givemashot - 2009-11-12 9:14 PM SO I'm thinking my smothered cheese and pork enchiladas from Cafe Rio are NOT paleo, right? Tonight was the annual banquet for the local tri club. I did not win anything this year, but I did walk away with some swag...a t-shirt from the uber-cool BAM triathlon (Battle at Midway), and a stack of hammer nutrition stuffs and some sharkies. Oh, and hubby scored a tshirt, too. And one of my tri-chicas gave me a shirt from a race we both did last spring. The sizes ran VERY small, so it didn't fit her. Mine didn't fit, either. As a matter of fact, I think it was too small for my then-12 year old daughter. And she's a petite little thing. So all in all a nice evening. An dmy son got to challenge his grandpa to a race on the baja 1000 on the wii. He won, of course.

Good morning Ghoulies!!!

We had parent teacher conferences yesterday. It is so nice to hear an unbiased party tell you that you have raised a good kid, and I got to hear that twice yesterday!

My son is a very smart boy, we've known this since he was about 18 months old. His teacher just went on and on about him. He's in fourth grade, and the kids are supposed to have jobs in the classroom. My son now does half of the jobs because the teacher doesn't have enough reliable kids to perform the tasks. He told us he's afraid he'll burn our son out, I told him that he was fine, the more you give him to do the more he thrives. His teacher probably told us 6 times that our son is such a deep thinker, that he has a challenge in the classroom just trying to come up with things for our son to do, he wants to challenge him so he doesn't get bored. My son had been tested for the gifted program last year, but we decided not to do it because he works better at his own pace. The administrators supported our decision and his teachers are aware so he generally is given alternative things to do in the classroom which has worked out well for the boy.

My daughter who is in first grade got raving reviews as well. She has some speech issues, which are being worked on, it does affect her reading some, but not enough that we need to be concerned. She reads at level, and her teacher expects her to move beyond this as her speech progresses, so no big deal. She excels at math and is the artistic one in the family. Every month a student from each class is chosen as the Path Kid, it's like a student of the month award. My son gets this every year by November. My daughter didn't get it in Kindergarten, and we didn't understand why. When the teacher was saying about what a joy it is to have her in the classroom, that she's everyone's friend, volunteers for everything, helps everyone and such I asked why she was never chosen as the Path Kid. The teacher said that she was chosen as the November Path Kid, my daughter just doesn't know this yet, and we're not telling her. The teacher has been teaching for 30 years and said you only get a kid like my daughter every 5 or 6 years. That was nice to hear.

So the kids are doing well and I'm happy. A friend of mine took her 2 kids and my 2 swimming last night while we were in conferences. I met them at the Y and because all 4 kids had good report cards I took them out for Pizza then.
