A Day Off

We both had the day off, so our weekend started early. We can't remember the last time we spent a three-day weekend at home. Our storage place is closed on Easter. So, if we were going to camp we'd have to stay out until Monday, and our work calendars simply wouldn't accommodate that. Besides, we have way too much to do to go camping. And, we made the most of our extra day.

We were out and about earlier than most workdays, as we had a date just after eight with a genius at the Apple store. With our old and new laptops in tow, the plan was to transfer data from one to the other. When our genius told us we'd have to check both computers in and come back to pick them up in 24 to 48 hours (!) we started looking for alternatives. She introduced us to a nifty piece of software and a cable that can do the trick. (It's probably what they use!) We stopped by Best Buy later in the day and picked one up. Within 4 minutes, our tunes were transferred. After Natasha does a bit of picture and document cleanup, we'll grab those, too. And, something tells us it won't take anywhere near 24 hours to make that happen. (We can't imagine going two days with no laptop!)

Back at home, we spent the morning getting several things ready to post on Craigslist - just in time for the weekend rush. Our old guest room has become our "Craiglist showroom". Once everything was photographed, we placed it all in that room. As the closest room to the front door - and the emptiest - it makes a perfect spot for Boris to close our Craigslist deals. Already our mini fridge is spoken for by a young woman who had one just like it in her music studio, but blew it up when she tried to defrost it with a something sharp. We just love the stories about our buyers. It makes us feel like we're doing a wee bit of good as we part with our belongings.

Natasha managed to make time for some little one-minute breaks to play Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. It's amazing how much time you can waste one minute at a time! It's a fun new addiction.

Happy weekend!
