Woodstock hates bird-counting jokes

That's the punchline on my Peanuts calendar for today. :)

My cat is apparently going through some sort of Terrible Twos phase. This weekend his alter ego, Velociraptor Kitty, made an extended appearance. Neither Kathy nor I have had much sleep, what with his insistent meowing and venturing into forbidden areas and knocking things over at 3 am. My boss tells me that his brothers are acting similarly. I hope this will pass soon.

This weekend was nice. I spent Friday night at my parents' house, as planned, watching HGTV with Bun. (I'm glad I don't have cable, because I could easily spend all my time watching that channel.) I got two scrapbook pages done. I drooled over my dad's new Master Computer, which has Windows XP, a flatscreen monitor, and a webcam, and is equipped with the fastest modem available. He let me know that for only 1500 dollars, he could have one built for me, too. :P I'm tempted, since my CD burner has just crashed for the 15,000th time and I am fed up with my computer in general. I don't think it would be that extravagant to get a new computer, since I got mine before I started college, but I may need that money for other things soon. (My mom helpfully suggested I sell my computer to get some money for the new one. I think it would be worth about 50 dollars.)

What happens to old computers, anyway? Do they just throw them away? That seems awfully sad and wasteful.

On Saturday morning, I helped Kathy and her family with a retreat for 4th-through-6th graders at their church. It was fun. One of the activities was drawing the Stations of the Cross. I took pictures of some of them.

We're under a Winter Storm Watch, which rarely happens around here. The snow is supposed to start very early tomorrow morning. I don't really think it will stick, since it's been in the 40s recently, but you never know.
