It’s been a month worth of upgrading. Upgrades are cool. Usually, it just means taking something you already have and improving, replacing, or appending it to make it better. My highlights of this pleasant process include:
- :: I put my snow tires on the car yesterday and just this morning had the two-year old beast winterized. Not exactly an upgrade, but it drives like a snow leopard now — a NEW snow leopard. Can you believe she just passed 50,000 clicks last week?
- :: Karin bought me a new iPod for the birthday. Yes, the old faithful beast of days past has been passed down to the next generation, filled with kid music and mounted semi-permanently in Claire’s room. My new 160GB Classic is a pal.
- :: New iPod means slick new FM transmitter!
- :: I’ve discovered a new brand of coffee. Yum.
- :: A new wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop finally came in the mail (via eBay) yesterday. It works like a charm in Ubuntu (unlike the old one). So, old tired Windows laptop is now a slick, gutsy gibbon terminal.
- :: The new stereo system arrived a few weeks ago. I think I’ve belabored that enough in previous posts.
- :: We bought Sparkle a new winter coat. Now I just need to figure out how to make her grow longer fur! She still hates her boots though.
- :: And we moved Claire up to size 1 diapers. If I didn’t mention that you might think I was a bad father. So… yeah. And I should note that’s an upgrade FOR Claire, not OF Claire. She’s upgrading herself just nicely.
Now if only I could upgrade my life to 26 hour days and 8 day weeks. Oy!
