Dear Lord and Lady of modern technology,

I appreciate that my computer turned on, and has remained on for a steady hour. I would appreciate if it remained on until a point where I decide to turn it off, as well. I have been a good and patient little girl. I even bought a brand new power strip & surge protector to please you. If I promise to buy a backup battery as soon as possible, can you please bless me by keeping my computer from rebooting? I have people that I'd like to keep up with, and the past month and a half having only 20 minute increments of internet access has not been extremely conducive to communication. What's more, I need my photoshop. Please hear my plea. So mote it be.

I'm holding my breath. I want to do a new layout tonight, but I'm scared to. I want to reload all of my music, too. Scared.

The weekend was passable as weekends go-- we had a dinner party Friday night where Heather made delicious stuffed shells and we had salad, bread dipped in olive oil w/ basil, lemon bars and cherry pie, plus a few bottles of wine. Saturday was the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC. Beautiful weather-- I wish I could have stayed longer. Mike and I are making plans to go back soon so we can see the art gallery together. And today, we slept in late, skin to skin. We took a lovely warm shower and then did the Easter dinner thing with our non-religious families.

I'm nervous. I want my computer to stay working so badly. Le sigh.
