computer woes

Okay, so I'm trying to update my website and I keep getting the message about the connection being wrong. The FTP something or other. Hmm. Last time I made changes it worked. So, why all of sudden has it decided to not do its job? Gosh darn computer! Computers might be a bit like teenagers. Sometimes they do what you want and sometimes they don't. And you never know when that sometimes is going to happen.
I'm ready to bite the bullet and hire someone to do all of this website stuff for me. I had great help setting it up, then I thought, (okay, so that's scary unless I'm thinking about ideas for books), I would be able to do the updating myself. But...I actually find it rather frustrating.
Okay, so that's out. Big breath.
On to good news. I finished the first draft of my Sledge Hockey book. I loved writing it! Man, those guys are amazing. And I finished the first draft of my Dany Heatley book. Too bad the Sens are having a tough time with Pittsburg in the NHL playoffs. They are so close. How about those Flames!!!!
More good news--I'm off for the Young Alberta Book Society Suncour tour on Sunday! Should be fun.
Other good news - It's sunny in Calgary and not SNOWING. Okay, so our weather is crazy. Sunday was 20 degrees and the next day it snowed. Of course the 20 degrees was the day my son played hockey eighty times in one day. Well, not quite, but twice. So, I was in an arena wearing a winter coat when it was nice out. But I did get to Homesense to buy a few gardeing things. And this weekend when there is no hockey--it is supposed to be -6 degrees. Great, I say. Okay, so I can still go to the gardening store.
Other good news. Is this good, I don't know. My daughter turned 18 and I can't beleive that I'm the mother of an 18-year-old. Wasn't I just 18 yesterday??? Oh, no I wasn't. That was like almost 32 years ago. Really? I think you're fibbing.
Okay, so back to the bad news. I'm still frustrated about my website. I thought I could divert myself by blogging, and I did for a few moments, but now the nasty, creeping feeling is back that sometimes I am totally computer illiterate.
Hellllpppppp.
