As a 1930s wife, I amVery Superior

Take the test!

Sometimes it’s easy to get overwhelmed with household chores and duties (especially when extra work abounds from moving). Watching an old movie or old TV episode like “Leave it to Beaver” really makes you wonder how the women did it? How on earth did they manage to keep everything so neat and tidy, have multiple homecooked meals everyday 365 days a year, wear an apron all day, and still look so put together when going to bed at night?

I had every intention of showing you photos of the lake that I mentioned last week, but Blogger is being stubborn and not uploading my photos. While I love technology, sometimes it can be sooooo frustrating! Maybe tomorrow…

So, instead I wanted to share two little tidbits with you. First, did you know that you can install iTunes on PC? Yep, I’m still using a PC. I can’t quite justify draining my bank account for a Mac. Don’t worry, I’ve used Macs frequently over the years and enjoyed my experience with them, but honestly, my PC can do everything a Mac can, especially now that I figured out I can have iTunes!

I used to listen to the radio via iTunes when I worked at the newspaper. Since our house is in a radio deadzone (we get one station clearly), I’ve really missed fresh programming. CDs get old after awhile. Now with iTunes, I can listen to
