Kiranisms

*edited to add more at the bottom

Jonathan is on the phone with a Dell person (aka Indian) trying to fix our computer. One time when we lived in India, I used our American number (Vonage phone) to call about an American airlines credit card. I asked the person who I was talking to where they lived and he said, "India." I said, "I also live in India. Which part?"
"Delhi."
"Me too!"
"You live in India? But this is an American number yes?"
"Yes but I really am in Delhi. Which part?"
It turns out he was about 10 minutes away from me in CR Park.

Kiran has said some funny things these last few days. I realize you guys don't think my kid is nearly as funny as I am so I'll keep em short.

Yesterday while driving to Greenville, Kiran said, "Mommy you sing Amazing Grace while I sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aunt Lauren put a bib on Sienna that said "So Adorable" and explained to Kiran that adorable meant cute. I asked Kiran if Sienna was so adorable and she said, "No. Not really."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aw man I had more but I didn't write them down so of course I forgot. The computer isn't fixed but J has done all he can for tonight so I'm off to bed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since we visited Brenna's twins, Kiran has started calling girls "Rileys" and boys "Quinn". She'll put some of her stuffed animals on her bed and say "Look Mommy! I have two Quinns and three Rileys!"

Whenever we see someone in a convertible, she asks if they are cold.

I love having enough space to store all my photos on my computer!

Ignorance is Bliss

I'm back on my new laptop. The new hard drive arrived this morning and Jonathan reinstalled everything tonight. I spent the last two days using my old laptop (which Kiran has taken to calling her pater [computer]) and it was very tortuous. It is so incredibly slow which never bothered me until I had a few days on my very fast computer.

We only lost about 10 days worth of "work"- blog book editing, budget updating, photos- but I've learned my lesson. I'm going to start backing up every day. Starting tomorrow.

I have a little tutoring job and I've been saving up my money to buy a digital SLR camera. But lately I've really been thinking about the Ipod Touch. Question: Which should I buy first? dSLR or Ipod touch?

No Podcasts Today

I will not be listening to any podcasts today.

Last night I dropped our not-even-two-weeks-old computer and it broke. Now windows won't start.

I'm not even kidding. I couldn't make this up if I tried.

(oh and I was attacked by a dog on my first early morning 5K training run. a small dog but a dog nonetheless.)

Podcasts

I have discovered the joy of podcasts.

My girls take a nap at the same time in the afternoon (ok Kiran only sleeps half the time but she "takes a rest" for 1.5 hours on the days she doesn't sleep). I have just realized the joy of listening to podcasts while working around the house. I can only do this now because I have a laptop whose battery does not quit after 1.3 minutes. So I'm carrying my computer around bringing Mark Driscoll or Dave Ramsey with me as I change the sheets on the bed and mop the bathroom floor. Its made those menial, repetetive tasks so much more enjoyable because my mind is stimulated.

So I'm asking for suggestions- do you listen to any podcasts? Which ones? I am open to any topic really but I enjoy thinking about Jesus. At least most of the time. Sometimes its convicting and that's not really enjoyable. Anyhow- give me some good podcasts to listen to! Thanks!
