DD is BACK! :)

January 17th, 2009 at 11:00 am

DD made it safe and sound from her adventures at Outdoor Science School. It was cold and there was snow -- they all loved it! The food was good, too! DD got to do some hiking, rock climbing, and archery. Came home tired with a few blisters on her heels. The only part I thought was "funny" had to do with snow. I asked if the kids got to make and throw snowballs. They did but there were strict instructions on where one could or could not throw them. Apparently the only approved target was their backpacks. Now I would never want DD to throw a snowball in anyone's face, but everything is so PC these days.........

DD and DH are off to the bird farm this morning to sell off some birds from DD's business. She does not make a lot of money, but the responsibility earned is priceless. She does want to start an ING Direct account with the proceeds. When they get back it is lunch and then off to DD's basketball game. Tonight it is back to work on her school project (making a board game about the book "Treasure Island"). I am hoping she finishes the game this weekend so she can "rest" on Monday (MLK Holiday). Sunday is church and then Skate Day with the Girl Scouts.

I am planning to return a color laser printer back to Office Depot tonight. It was an impulse purchase (grr) and I am having trouble adjusting the color correctly. Also, the unit is a bit bigger than I had anticipated. I am looking for a printer (or all-in-one) that does photos very well. All of the previous printers or all-in-ones that I have had work well at first but then there is a problem with the photo quality. I am never able to resolve that issue. It seems that it had to do with the roller mechanism. All troubleshooting does zilch. I have always had HPs but may switch to another brand if the unit is better. I checked cnet.com for reviews so I had some ideas. I may also purchase a wireless. If anyone is happy (or unhappy) with their printer, let me know. Any input would be appreciated.

    Wow what a busy kid, glad she had a good time. You stated everything was PC these days, what's PC?

    Glad your girl is home safe and sound and had fun.

    I have an HP Officejet 5610 and it does a wonderful
    job scanning pretty much anything.

    Amber -- Oops, sorry I did not elaborate. PC means "politically correct" in this case.

    Toy Guy -- Thanks for the input on your printer. I'll check it out online.
