MS Publisher for Macintosh?
I have a document that was sent to me in MS Publisher. Is there something similar to OpenOffice.org that can open this? I tried it with my OpenOffice program that I downloaded, but I either missed the component that I needed to select to open the file or it doesn't help for Publisher docs. Sadly I'm very much a novice when it comes to understanding ( Read more... ) -

Married!
It's all done!
We literally spent about 30 hours raking and moving grass piles off the field. Thursday morning the tent and rentals were delivered and we spent the rest of the day trying to get things ready.

This weekend was my bachelorette; the first since I didn't have one when I married Dan. My maid of honor was ( Read more... ) -
Here comes the bride
Today was my bridal shower, hosted of course by my maid of honor, Cheri. She came down yesterday and we spent the afternoon together - just relaxing and having a weekend of "girl time". Eric and Jaden left about 1pm on Friday to go camping in the Tillamook State Forest, and so after some sandwiches and a coffee run, Cheri and I kicked off our ( Read more... ) -
To cook, perchance to dream...
Like my bastardization of Shakespeare? Good.
I have fallen in love (again) with cooking. Not just cooking, but the search for the perfect recipe, the perfect ingredients, playing with color and flavor, and above all - being able to plan a good menu for my family that doesn't cost two arms and a head.

Security!!
Ok, so somehow I gotta figure out how to secure my wireless router (via Clear). Someone in our apartment keeps using it and I'm feeling a little nervous. I wish I was computer smart.
