It has been awhile since I posted anything...I guess not much has been happening here that I think is blogworthy. We are potty training at a lackluster pace, although Ws teachers think that he is completely potty trained at school. I sort of realized today that when he is potty trained that when he has to go he has to go. Regardless of where we are. I know. That was pretty dumb of me. So, again, not sure we are ready. I am not nearly as committed as I need to be.
In other news...We had a nice trip down south this past weekend. I met a fellow blogger in real life which is always exciting. She has inspired me to look for bike seats for W. (Wal Mart is leading the race with the Bell seat, which unfortunately is only up to 40 lbs, but I figured it would last for the rest of the spring).
While there, I got a MacBook for graduation from Wil's parents! I was so excited! It has also made me feel old (technology-wise) as I am not sure what I am doing on here. I need to switch my pictures to this computer. Should I use Picasa like I was (so I can save online) or should I use iPhoto? Any suggestions or tips on transferring stuff? I feel slightly sleeker when I use this computer--almost like Sarah Jessica Parker in SATC when she is typing her articles. Only I type about potty training and she types about....
Speaking of writing, I also have received 2 new pieces of fine literature...The Strong Willed Child by Dr. Dobson and Your Three Year Old: Friend or Enemy. I will let you know how those work out. I'm not sure they will be my beach reading of choice during spring break, but who knows!
I would post a picture, but as I said before they are on the other computer right now. In the meantime, please send me any tips for this changing of the guard, I mean, computers.
So, in regards to the Title... Things we are waiting on...
- potty training commitment
- warm weather
- daffodils blooming on campus so that I can have free fresh flowers in my house (what? my tuition helped pay for those bulbs!)
- picnics and bike rides (complete with child on back) in aforementioned warm weather
- spring break
- how to work a Mac
- where in the world (literally) we will be next year, and by next year, I mean this summer. As in June.
I don't like waiting. Bottom line. So this is a really super exercise in patience particularly regarding the last one. I can wait on daffodils, I know they are coming b/c I saw them down south.
So, I remain waiting...
What are you waiting on?!

We may literally be anywhere in the world as well! And the waiting game is exactly what I am trying to get through right now as well! I'm asking the Lord for peace and guidance and to calm my anxieties so I can enjoy my last few months in Greenville...Keith's mom told me not to worry, God knows where I'm going to be - He just hasn't told me yet :)
I switched to a Mac this year when my dell started eating chargers (literally three chargers stopped working on my dell). So if you need any help just let me know! I switched over all my pictures by putting them on a zip drive and importing them into iphoto. I switched over all of my music by downloading music rescue from the internet...so easy and free! Best of luck!
This time last year I was waiting, too. Waiting for any piece of information to cling to as a piece of certainty in this thing we call life! I completely understand your frustrations and lack of control, but hang in there because I can promise that you will find out sooner rather than later at God's perfect time!
Hey Dawson!
I got a Mac back in October and LOVE IT. You would probably agree that you would love any computer other than a thinkpad
Anyways, I am waiting, hoping and praying, to get into medical school- I should know in 3 weeks. AHH. Trusting in the Lord is my motto.
P.S. When is Wake Graduation? I'll be in NC for weddings in May.
:)
