Please don't disappear BlogVoices... I don't have many comments, but I think it's a great tool and service.


We're doing a kid swap....lol


Our Amazon Girl is staying with her Aunt and Uncle for two nights and the two cousins are staying with us. I hope the kids get some sleep while having a bit of an adventure.


Drin and I are a bit lost at the moment. We have happy moments and really disconnected moments. Being tired doesn't help my ability to deal with life.


Misschief is copying Amazon Girl's tantrum and disagreement techniques. However, they don't have the desired effect. And if I even suggest that she is copying her sister, she denies it in the same strong manner ;-)


Does anyone else use the "no tears, so you're not really serious" measure? She's really trying, but other than her loud protests they won't come out. And she doesn't want a cuddle either...Love and space until she's ready!

Oh...and I'm thinking of changing my site title. I think The World of KiwiNessie is getting a bit long and a lot old. I'm thinking of "Webbed KiwiNessie" or "KiwiNessie Webbed" to sort of take into account the Nessie and Loch Ness monster approach with webbed feet or fins and a pun on my internet addiction.


I would love to hear other people's opinions...so please email me.

Blogger forgot to send my post and December hasn't archived.....ggrrrrrr......

Still working at snail's pace.


Last night was my baby sister's 21st birthday dinner. It was fantastic, and she was let off lightly because I didn't put a baby or bare butt pic in the paper. I have one too... She said that she feels old, but she is at the start of a long life of fun and challenges.


It seems as though now that we have all passed into adulthood, we should be putting childish things away. Mum didn't seem too traumatised by the whole event.


We've had my sister and her children staying with us. It has been a great opportunity to have some great family time and reacquaint ourselves. Little baby Samuel has decided to start walking and it was a real privilege to be a part of that. I hope my sis got some of the time out she needed to recharge her batteries.

The reformat is done at last. The most time consuming part was the backing up and burning of my data. However, it has left me in a predicament. The faster computer is having modem problems. I also can't find a driver for the Rockwell modem. The Conexant site should have them, but it's really slow to load :p


Another predicament is whether we upgrade or buy another computer... Drin spat the dummy when I suggested we spend $1000 (in addition to the $500 we are getting for the 333) to get a brand new 666. I think it's a sensible idea. The 166 slowpoke can stay as a computer for school stuff and kids stuff, as well as keeping the CD Writer in it. The new one could run the games and graphics...and we would get a warranty with it.


So what do I do with my fun net stuff? Making graphics, email, and my Net sisters stuff? Put it all onto the slow computer, and grind it to a halt... Looks like I will have to until we resolve the whole situation. And it needs a reformat or tweaking first because the registry has some errors from the person who was borrowing it. I'm really keen on getting a new computer...really keen!

My sis arrives tomorrow to stay with us for a week. I'm really looking forward to it. Just limits the net time. At least I got the reformat done before she arrives. That was the plan!

I'm a "reformat virgin" so this site was a huge help.


I seem to reside in tiredness that comes and goes. So I picked sleep for health and happiness as my New Year's resolution.
