I'll stick with my desk top, thank you.

I have to share my desk top with the kids. Yesterday when I got up to do my first cardio exercise, Carson wanted to play nickjr.com. He was still on after I finished so I decided to use Reyna's laptop. I'm new at these things. I don't really like them other than the fact they are easily moved.

I spent 10 minutes untangling 2 mouse's from several other computer related cords because this is my biggest issue with laptops. I like my roll all over the desk mouse. After struggling to get them separated, I turn the laptop over and over, around and around looking for the place to plug in a mouse. I can't find one. Maybe there's some secret hatch that opens up so I can plug one in. (I later am told by Hubby that it takes a certain mouse, like the one he used to have before I ran it over with the vacuum cleaner.)

I saw a switch on the front of the computer for the sound so I turned it off because I didn’t need the sound on. I turned the laptop on and double clicked on the internet symbol. It said yahoo couldn't be found. Hmmm. I tried again. I thought maybe I was in a bad spot for the wireless thing to work. A few minutes later I turned it off. I figured I would try again later. Oh, well, I needed to do another cardio anyway. (I burned 150 calories dancing around while folding laundry. Who knew it could be so much fun and such a good workout?)

When Reyna got home from school, I told her I tried to use her laptop but the internet didn't work. She asked if I turned it on. I said, "Of course I turned the computer on, I'm not an idiot!" She said, "No the internet." I told her I didn't know you had to turn it on.

So she goes and gets her laptop. She points to the "volume" switch and asked me if I moved it. I said, "Yes because I didn't need the sound." She looks at me like I AM an idiot and rolls her eyes. Then she says "That's the switch to turn the internet on and off. I can't wait to tell Daddy!"

It's become a family joke how completely computer illiterate Mommy is.

I'll stick to my desk top, thank you. I have enough trouble figuring that out as it is.

Recently crowned Queen of the Dorks

It's been a week since I've written a post. Something was going on in computer world and it took me a week to figure it out. Well, I didn't figure it out, Kris did. Poor thing has to deal with my constant computer illiteracy difficulties on a daily basis. She got home from Austria and I could finally tell her that my blog was lost. I sought help from the help center and all they could tell me was that I was probably using the wrong email address. I tried both of them multiple multiple times! Kris assures me, as she's waiting to catch her flight home, that she will find my blog and apologized for leaving me. Beth, friend and fellow blogger, also tried to find it. I'm blessed to have such wonderful and supportive friends.

I got home from the park today and Kris tells me the email she typed in and that it came right up. Seriously? Oh, my flippin' gosh! Someone as unorganized as me should only have ONE email address. NOT 4. Yes, you poor people at blogger.com, I was using the wrong email address.

I owe all of you who read my blog a huge apology for being such an incredible dork. Those of you who know me are laughing hysterically, tears and all, rolling on the floor and thinking, "Yup, that's Katie!" Only me.

This leaves me wondering why in the world I would use an email address that I never use. I don't even remember why I signed up for that one. Why? Why? Why? I ask myself. Well, because that's just me. I've always been a dork and will obviously not only always be a dork, but I will only become dorkier as I age.

Anyway, my dorkdom aside, I have a lot to catch up on as I've been writing posts the old fashioned way. With a chisel on a piece of stone. Ok, not really, I used a little chalkboard and a piece of chalk. Hahaha! Alright, alright. I used pen and paper. Honest.

There is still one lingering question: How did I wind up being signed out of my blog in the first place? Hmmmmmm.......I know that it wasn't ME. I'm positive about that one.
