What a Year!


It’s a year today since Lenny & I tied the knot (Our wedding occurred on the 21st of Adar on the Hebrew lunar calendar). Wow! I can’t believe it. Just wanted to dedicate today’s blog to my dear husband, without whose support and love I could not exist. You’re the best, sweets!

So you might have noticed a significant gap since my last blog entry. Yes, the technical dilemmas persisted. The Toshiba portege mentioned in the last entry was doing OK until its network adapter card died. After that, no more internet access and I had to give up on the Toshiba too. YIKES!!!! Two laptops down in a month!

Without internet access, there was no more comparison shopping for a Mac on craigslist. I had to rush out to the Apple Store to just plain buy the new beast. Wow, have you been to the store in Manhattan? It’s right across the street from what used to be the Plaza Hotel, and is now a high-priced condo for people who have nostalgia for Eloise. After going to this store and experiencing the throngs of people clamoring for macbooks, iphones, ipods, and everything Apple, I thought seriously about making a stock purchase. I mean, this store is minting money! Check it out when you get a chance.

So, now an owner of a new & improved Macbook, I am slowly getting back into the groove. I had to leave the new computer for a week at the Genius Bar in Short Hills so they could do a data migration from the old computer. Good news, bad news. Good news? The data is all here. Bad news? It’s all here but no longer in folders. So when I opened up my photo library, instead of seeing dozens of neatly and logically organized files, there is just ONE BIG FILE. Called Photos. Oy vey. I don’t have the strength to go back to the Genius Bar in Short Hills, no matter how much shorter the wait is there. I think I will have to take the beast to Manhattan, brave the hordes, and find someone competent enough to actually migrate my data properly.

In the meantime, Your Personal Chef is very busy this week with clients and kids and cooking for lots of Shabbos guests. Keep me posted on what’s keeping you busy!

Best,
Rebecca
