OK, so I did not make my Lame Post Friday post on Friday. Judge me if you are so inclined. In the interests of sharing good news, I am ten-finger typing on my new Chromebook, which seems suspiciously like a laptop to me, lounged on my couch (the computer kind of jiggles as I type, but I cannot say it is precariously balanced on one leg) and drinking coffee. Oh thank God for coffee! I won the Chromebook at the Basket Raffle at Lights, Camera, Murder, the murder mystery we put on to benefit the Herkimer County Historical Society. It was in a basket donated by Herkimer College, which had some other really great stuff in it: a couple of notebooks (the spiral-bound paper kind, which I love), two t-shirts, a travel mug and two water bottles, plus a few more goodies. So thank you, Herkimer College and Herkimer County Historical Society.
So already this is a pretty cheerful post. Let me continue the cheeriness if I can by sharing a picture or two. I turn to my Media Library.
I accidentally clicked on this picture but thought, oh well, it is seasonal. It was also taken at a fun community event sponsored by Herkimer BPA. They plan many other events in the coming year, which I hope Mohawk Valley Girl will be able to attend (preview of coming attractions).
This was the first picture that caught my eye, but the other had already been clicked on. I will probably have a quiet New Year’s Eve at home, watching movies, possibly of the cheesy horror variety, which regular readers know I love. I have written about a few of them in this space, but those posts do not tend to get a lot of blogger love. Still, they are fun to write and I do not rule out writing more of them.
Oh, this is swell! I was all happy about this new Chromebook, but now I cannot get it to scroll down to where I Save Draft or even where I can see my word count! I know, first world problems. Then again, I live in the so-called first world, what other problems am I supposed to have?
Ah! I got it to scroll! Regular readers know what a triumph and relief that is for me, who is so technologically inept. And I am over 400 words. Wow! And this computer underlined “am over” and suggested “have over.” Well, I guess I am what I write. And there is some half-baked philosophy for you. This is a Lame Post Friday post after all.
