back up your files.

I officially hate my computer.  Although I am scared to type that, because I think it will find out and then find more ways to be mean to me.  What it forgets is that when push comes to shove, I will shove it out a window.  Ha.  Beat that.

The good news is I got the okay from M & D to get a fabulous, new, white, beautiful, compact, pillar of efficiency and design for Christmas.  Yes, a MacBook.  Megan has always had one, and J just bought one.  And they truly are as good as the commercials claim.  The roommates and I are soon to be a little MacFamily.  We can iChat.  And play with our widgets together.

But until Christmas, I am typing away at this virus-ridden, noise-making, slow-moving, missing-a-F4-key, gray, beast of a computer.  And in addition to typing, I am backing up files.  All the music and papers and photos and layouts are going to have to find a new home.  Which is cool.  For them.  But secretly, it is also cool for me...because I get to reorganize my folders.  And label all my photos.  And delete unwanted documents. 

Sort of like Spring Cleaning for my hard-drive.  Minus the Swiffer Duster.  Plus the Recycle Bin.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
