Dell corrupts administrator password

I figured out why I cannot log into recovery mode on this Dell computer that I am trying to repair. Apparently, dell uses sysprep for their installations and it corrupts the administrator password. So now I have to figure out how to reset the administrator password without actually being able to log into Windows XP Home…or the dos prompt for that matter.

Purse Found! Negative karma of thinking someone stole it to last years…

Sarah’s purse was found in an obscure cranny under the front seat of the car. She squealed! We celebrated by taking a direct trip to Toy’s R Us and spending the Toy’s R Us card dry. Amy slept through the trip and awoke briefly as we were leaving. The wrinkled brow and slow glowering seemed to scream “hey, I missed the fun place.” In the car she return to sleep.

Couldn’t focus on the electronic stuff so I went out in the yard and went to town on the holly tree and the shrub beside it. Those bushes must of felt like Bruce Springsteen after his motocycle accident and his father had the barber come to the hospital and cut off all his hair. I found our mosquitoe breeding ground and could actually see the hundreds of larva swimming around. Hopefully the front yard will become safe for play now except for the fact that the bushes no longer offer much of an obsticle to the retaining wall. Perhaps its time to see how much fencing costs.

That little bit of yard work brought afternoon sun to the driveway and cleared away any habitat for the nasty bugs and mosquitoes. Was a giant step toward doing some proper landscaping.

I am the commander!

Cathy points us to another personality test and I discovered I am Sober Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you a dictator.


Wackiness: 44/100

Rationality: 28/100

Constructiveness: 44/100

Leadership: 58/100

You are an SEDL–Sober Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you a dictator. You prefer to control situations, and lack of control makes you physically sick. You feel have responsibility for everyone’s welfare, and that you will be blamed when things go wrong. Things do go wrong, and you take it harder than you should.

You rely on the validation and support of others, but you have a secret distrust for people and distaste for their habits and weaknesses that make you keep your distance from them. This makes you very difficult to be with romantically. Still, a level-headed peacemaker can keep you balanced.

Despite your fierce temper and general hot-bloodedness, you have a soft spot for animals and a surprising passion for the arts. Sometimes you would almost rather live by your wits in the wilderness somewhere, if you could bring your books and your sketchbook.

You also have a strange, undeniable sexiness to you. You may go insane.

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

As predicted, I am sore but I really enjoyed last night. Amy awoke at 8am and I could not pull myself from bed. She played until 8:30 and I reluctantly ask Cathy if she would let me sleep in (which I did until 10:30–what a bum!).

When the fireworks started lastnight, Amy could have startled, screamed, cried and jumped into the nearest adult arms. Instead, she rose to her feet in one bound, squealed with joy, clapped her hands (which is always so cute looking), yelled “yeah!” and laughed. For most of the show she was enraptured. About 2/3s of the way through she lost some interest but was overjoyed with our outing. Tommy was on pretty good behavior. Sarah had a friend and was naturally perfect (with the exception of not owning up to dying Amy’s hair). And Noah is the angel always is. The boys had a real tough time not participating in the juggling show (they like to yell out the punch lines and otherwise heckle but its thrilling for them and I need to nurture that somehow).
