Let’s Lock ‘em Down, Baby!

I’ve spent most of this beautiful and sunny morning setting up administrator and guest accounts on the Literacy Center’s computers.  You now have to have my password or my director’s approval to install any extraneous programs on our computers. That’s one way to nip it in the bud as older versions of Windows will grow more and more unstable the more junk is installed.  The registry becomes bloated, conflicted and corrupt.

Every morning one of us brings in a sweet treat breakfast to share with the whole gang.  Today was my turn and I bought in two big boxes of assorted Krispy Kreme donuts. They were a hit and I just finished off the last of the donuts myself.  What makes donuts so addictive? Especially still warm and fresh donuts? Pure manna from heaven I say. 

Record Lows Set…

I was already in the bed last night when my father called. I fumbled for the phone in the dark of my bedroom.

“Lagrange had a record low last night,” he told me excitedly. “It was 36 degrees.”

“It seems we went from spring right to fall and forgot about summer,” I said with a pained air to my voice.

Summer is my favorite time of the year. I told dad to visit a few Internet weather sites and they all show the lower nineties next week for high temperatures.

Krispy Kremes life doesn't get much better than that.

I LOVE Krispy Kremes, but, if you must know, there's a wonderful bakery in College Park, MD (that's ALL I'm gonna say) that turns out a lovely collection of doughnuts every day. YUM!!

You are Super Literate--not only in English, but Computerese. I will never get beyond the "beginning reader" stage in Computerese:

See Mr. Computer run!"

I love Krispy Kreme donuts, almost as much as ice cream. : )

Ah: Krispy Kremes. The best way to plaster up your arteries. When one opened in Birmingham within a few miles of my house, I remember getting a dozen hot, fresh ones to go and eating half of them on the way home. Those days are long gone and I don't live there anymore. But I remember.

Sounds like you're enjoying this venture. Good for you.

I wish I had your computer skills.

Warm Krispy Kremes are delicious. Did you get any cream or lemon fill? I think the lemon filled are my favorite.

OMG Krispy Kremes are the devil. Luckily the nearest one is over 20 miles away!

And yesterday we went to the park and almost froze. CRAZY WEATHER!!!
