Friday faux pas

To my 19 faithful followers, I apologize for not posting a Friday Food for the past two weeks.  Oh, another excuse?  Yes, that’s right.  Deal with it.

My youngest brother’s wedding was two Fridays ago and I traveled all the way across the country to attend it, so I thought I’d better use my time hanging out with my family instead of blogging.

All my siblings made the trip except for one of my sisters, who had a very good reason for not being there, but it sure wasn’t the same without her!

Then this past Friday, my computer decided to freak out on me and I spent every spare moment of the weekend trying to fix it.  When I realized that this problem was not going to be solved on my own, I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to call up customer service, sit on hold for 30 minutes or so while I waited to be connected to some nice young woman over in India and then have a nice little chat while I tried to understand what in the world she was saying.  After two hours on the phone into the wee hours of Monday morning , I hung up.  My computer was still NOT working, but I knew what I had to do.  Well, first what I had to do was go to bed.  But when I woke up, I started the painful process of backing up all my files and then restoring my computer back to the original factory settings.  It’s kind of like a Benjamin Button thing—my computer is 8 months old, but now it’s like it’s a brand new little baby again.  Annoying, but at least it works now.

Anyway, I have a bunch of Friday Food posts in the works for the next few weeks, so I promise that I won’t disappoint-- at least not for a while!
