One of Nathan’s new favorite words is “impressive”. He’s always coming over, doing some little trick and then saying, “See? I impressive, Mama.”
This week was definitely impressive – sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. I started the week with a cold that quickly progressed to a bad cough. On Wednesday, my computer crashed and so I immediately booked an appointment at the Apple Store for the first available appointment which wasn’t until Thursday. It’s always a little heart-stopping to think about your unbacked up manuscript sitting there completely unaccessible in your computer.
Heart-stopping might be a little bit of a tame word.
Anyway, I went to the Apple Store on Thursday and they tried a few different things, decided it was my hard drive and then came out with possibly the best news I had all week: yesterday was my LAST DAY of Apple Care, so I was able to get a brand new hard drive for FREE.
Needless to say, there was a great deal of happiness at that moment. It was a great birthday present because yesterday was also my birthday. 🙂
Mom, Nathan and I hung out the whole day. We went to lunch, we watched a movie, we did a little bit of shopping. We met my dad, brothers and my dear friend Shannon for dinner at Paradise and then Shannon came over to my house and kept me company while Jon was in class. It was a good day.
Tonight Jon and Nathan are having a little family party for me. 🙂
And TOMORROW begins two very feared words in my vocabulary now…
Potty. Training.
Oh my…pray for us!!
Happy Birthday, Erynn!!! May the Lord bless you in your walk with Him, your daily life, your writing, AND in potty training your precious boy! I LOVE your books and I can't wait for your new series to come out!!! 😀
Happy birthday, sweet lady! I'm praying for potty training and for your best year yet. xo!
Happy Birthday Erynn!! Good luck with potty training. I have started with my little guy and finding this is going to be a long process 🙂
Happy Birthday. I too, have a bday in January. Potty training…just remember, more than likely, the training will be all done by the time he is in kindergarten! That always helped me to see that there is an ending to it on those days when it seems it will never end! It is one of those things that you have absolutely no control over. Patience and lots of laughs will get you through. They do get trained! Happy writing. The stories will come!!
Happy Birthday!!! I am so glad you got your hard drive fixed. Just reading your post panicked me. Methinks I'll go back up my files! 🙂
Happy Birthday! 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful day! Oh, and if potty training Nathan seems difficult, giving small rewards (stickers, inexpensive toys, etc.) for using the "big kid potty" always worked for my mom! Just thought I'd share that tip. 🙂
Happy Birthday, Erynn!! Glad you had a great day and that you were able to get your computer fixed! : )
