Frustrated Monday
So now the wireless isn’t working on my iPhone either. I’m more than a little surprised since all I ever heard was you open the box, turn the iMac on and it just works.
For me, not so much.
I would most definitely NOT recommend iCloud at this time. It’s been a nightmare for me. I’ve used MobileMe for years (and paid $100 a year) but at least it actually worked. Right now, neither my iPhone nor my iPad will connect to my wireless router. Since nothing has changed with my internet – neither my provider, my router nor my password – then I must blame moving to iCloud.
The worst part of all is that I now have a great big, sexy, expensive iMac computer sitting on my desk taking up tons of real estate… and I can’t actually use to do anything productive.
Color me in Buyer’s-Remorse Blue at the moment.
UPDATE: Just discovered the Mac won’t connect to the wireless this morning. It worked when I went to bed last night. I am about out of my mind with this now!
iWork, therefore iAm
Wow! Is it Sunday already?
Do you have any idea how many washing machines there are out there on the market? Holy moly! My head is spinning.
Yesterday I was feeling a bit agitated by the Mac and a whole lotta aggravated by iCloud. They moved my MobileMe account over to iCloud… a MobileMe account which has worked perfectly well for a few years… and now I’m having issues. It keeps telling me my password is incorrect, which it isn’t. Further adding to my frustrations, my iPad… which has been on my wireless for a year?… It keeps popping up with a box telling me my wireless router password is incorrect. Which it isn’t. It hasn’t been changed. It’s still the same one it’s always been.
So I needed to step away from the issues. And I did what is predicable, mundane and, oh BTW, earns me money…
I worked all day on my web site.
And other than BWTB this afternoon, I’ll probably do more of the same today.
I hope you’re day is stress-free! And mine, too! 
iBusy
Oh, hi there! I almost forgot to do a post, I’ve been so busy. I got my iMac Thursday and set it up next to my other computer on my desk.
As you can see, it’s a bit crowded at the moment! And the cats are also all over my desk at any given time. This was a rare un-cat moment. Gracie, Whitey and Gandalf are now on it as I type. I may have to rearrange my office again as this ginormous monitor situation is totally blocking my views out the windows.
I’ve decided to take some time to get to know my iMac before I move everything over from my PC. Shoot… just this magic mouse and figuring out volume and where everything is taxing my post-menopausal brain!
And I haven’t even unpacked my new wireless all-in-one printer yet!
Add to all of this my washing machine is in it’s death throws. Yesterday morning it decided to flood my laundry room. It took me an hour to get it all cleaned up. So I’ll be washing machine shopping some time this weekend, too.
Busy. I has dat. 
I hope your weekend is lovely!
Thursday is a BIG day here at the Swamp!
Tonight is the 7th Season Premiere of BONES and I.Can’t.Wait. It’s my favorite show and this season Bones and Booth finally get together and they’re having a baby. awwww…
And sometime today my iMac will be delivered!
It’s a very good day in my world!
4:30
Several years ago SisterDear 2 sold her second home up on Mousam Lake in Maine. None of us are sure that we’ve completely forgiven her for that, although we all totally understand how much stress, work and financial burden it must have been taking care of two homes. One is bad enough!
Anyway… here’s one of the many stories from the 14 years or so of vacations up at the lake.
You’d be hard pressed for telling time up at the lake. There was no where we had to be. We rarely watched TV. Everyone was usually out sitting on the patio, taking a nap, sitting down by the lake, reading a book in the hammock, water skiing, fishing or just out on the boat for a cruise. In fact, the clock was stopped at 4:30 for so long that whenever anyone asks what time it is everyone in my family will usually say,
4:30
I sure miss the lake, but love the memories!
Facetime and Family
I just wanna say that Facetime totally ROCKS!
Just don’t judge it by my screenshot. 
They kept moving around like maniacs. Such fun!
So far only one of the sisterdears has the new iPhone 4S and Facetime… but we’re working on getting them to step into the light! hahaha!
I was worried about restoring my apps to the new phone because of all the issues I’ve had in the past with Apple and Windows not playing nice but I didn’t want to wait until my new iMac gets here later in the week to take it out for a spin. I’m pleased to say it worked just fine the first time.
That’s a first. srsly.
So my iMac should be delivered Thursday. I figure it will take me at least through the weekend to get it up and running, and that’s only if I can get out to get a new external drive to use to transfer all my pc files. Apparently Windows and Apple do not speak to each other directly.
Now there’s a surprise.
Not.
And here is the very first photo taken with the new iPhone 4S.
Gracie’s nap.
My old iPhone 3G could not have taken this closeup.
So far, so good.
Welcome to November! Where the heck did October go? Christmas will be along any minute now…
