After spending the past few days dealing with wet carpet and cleaning and tidying and doing all kinds of things I don't like to do, I spent last night and this morning doing something that I like to do. Yes, I spent some time drawing. Unfortunately I can't share it with you because when I went to use my scanner today, it stuck it's tongue out at me. It said "nah nah nah nah nah, you can't use me!" While I was cleaning, I was wrangling and untangling cords, so maybe something is disconnected? Although I checked the connections and everything seems to be intact. I tried to re-load the software and it is telling me that something IS disconnected. I'm just not seeing it, I guess. There are two cords connected to my copier/printer/scanner and both of these are connected to the back of my computer. And the printer is working, it's just the scanner part that doesn't seem to be communicating with my computer. Communication is difficult, even for scanners, I guess...
Anyway, the drawing I would have posted was a colored pencil rhino and he is very cute. He's just going to have to wait. I got the International Rhino Foundation's 2008 Annual report in the mail this week and my name is in there (because of the small donation I gave last year when I adopted Andalas, the Sumatran rhino) as a Friend of the rhinos. How exciting is that?! And again they are stating in the little article about Andalas that he has reached sexual maturity and is ready to make little rhinos. Unfortunately it seems like he has not done his job yet. "What's up, Andalas? Get to work! Your friend Anne says so..." I heart being a friend of the rhinos and if anyone doubts that I am, I can pull out my little book where my name is listed as a friend and show them. Hopefully I'm a much better friend than D.S. (only my library friends will get that one).
Since I cannot post my rhino drawing, I will post this goofy little photo I took of my nephew. Too bad I took it with my phone camera and it is not the best quality in the world because I think it's kind of artsy in its own strange way... It cracks me up too.
I think I will now go and have some more tea, although not the caffeinated variety because I do have to work tomorrow. Woe...

What a fun picture of your nephew! He looks like he is saying, "Please Auntie Anne, hurry up and take the picture already!"
I hope you get your wayward scanner up and running soon so we can see your latest drawing of your adopted Andalas. I'm glad you are a friend of the rhinos.
LOL!
i love the picture and am sorry about your scanner. I am hoping that now that it is September, your scanner will begin working again. Why September? No reason. Of course sometimes computer/printer/scanner eqpt. also stops with no reason so why not start? Right.
Glad to hear you are an official published friend of rhinos. that is a good thing. rhinos are lucky to have a friend in you.
