My old laptop was getting well, old and slow and I worried each time I typed that it might break down, close down, or go "kaput!" Have you been in the middle of a project/ letter/ reading an article online and zap...the screen goes black and boom, you are sitting there cussing at this inanimate object? The problem with changing something out is you have to get use to the new thing. I'm still getting use to my new laptop. My old files are condensed into a folder called "Desktop." I haven't taken time to move them to my desktop on my new laptop so they are stuck in a folder...neatly hidden away.
Recently Big Black Beast chased the blonde cat and knocked over a full glass of water...right onto the built- in table in the couch. Needless to say we have A LOT of stuff on that horizontal space and unfortunately the TV switcher was not hidden away in a nice little folder. It got wet as well as a bunch of papers. The papers dried...

But the universal TV switcher didn't like getting wet....at all...and even when it dried it revolted by not working! Take that, Triple B and Blonde Ollie!
In keeping with this certain thread, I noticed the Batmobile was not working up to snuff. It lunged and felt a little sluggish at the stoplight. I prayed it would keep moving as I drove home. I told Hubby. Of course I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to cars so he decided we would drive it to B-town 40 miles away. No sooner had we lunged out of the driveway and down the street, I remarked "it shouldn't be doing that, right?" I could tell he knew right away something was wrong and we were soon making a circle back to the house. hmmmm I drive enough to know when something is wrong. It must have Hubby worried enough that he is now looking at cars on a website!
Thing come in threes, correct? I pray that these 3 mechanical blips will be it for a while in the Strawberry Patch.
This got me thinking about weight loss. I don't really like change when it comes to eating. I like my comforts. It is a struggle to not make mindless eating choices. I have to constantly think about what I'll eat. This morning was one of those choices. I had a conference call scheduled and I was running late with my morning rituals. Unfortunately it was 9 a.m. (time for the call) and I was hungry. Former Strawberry would have grabbed a pop tart out of College Son's stash and nibbled on it while sitting down for my conference call. New thinking Strawberry pushed the "mute" button and clinked and clanked the pans while making an omelet. These choices will not be as easy as today. I have to be a better planner. If this meeting was out of the house, I would have been out of luck and not able to make an omelet.
My "something new" is my new planner. Career Girl introduced me to The Happy Planner last year and the crazy thing about this planner is it starts in July! Remember my "you are not behind" mantra? How cool that it is July 1st and these Happy Planners are in stores now starting the year in July???!!!! On Instragram I have joined a Happy Planner challenge. Day 1 challenge is to decorate your intro page. I received this card from the b-i-l/s-i-l. I love it. It says "It's not just the clothes, it's the attitude" and it looks like a young Strawberry! I really love this card. I decided to decorate my happy planner with it and yes, I smile each time I open my planner. Now I've decorated my first page....

I was talking with Graini-Mom on Tuesday remarking that life is sweeping by. She said "Yes, time is marching on."
Try something new today, Grainiacs. Love life. Live.
Happy Friday, Grainiacs.
