Another Windows customization I forgot I had configured - turning off those pesky little suggestions to create an event when you copy a date in Excel or other spots. In Settings, under System > Clipboard, there's a toggle for "Suggested actions."

I appreciate the height of Aptos, but Calibri feels cleaner, more neutral. The "a" and "g" in particular with Aptos feel closed and hard to read, especially at smaller font sizes. Honestly, I prefer Segoe because it utilizes an open-tail lowercase "g," but it's not a pre-installed font. 😁

3 - Choose your fonts for new mail messages and replies/forwards.
4 - Click OK until you return to Outlook.

Played Hues and Cues last night. A fun look into how people see, interpret, associate, and remember color. Up to 8 players, all ages. (Be prepared, playing with 4 under 9 last night provided the honor of clues like "snot" and "diarrhea".)

"Feels like the first time .." It's not. This is my 4th time washing this load. May it finally make its way to the dryer today.

Issabelle's first Xmas. All the ring ting tinglings have now been hunted and stowed under the couch for our safety.

Getting cleaned up for a date with the hubs. Anyone else have that curl that won't pick a lane? 😆

Since the Tech Community got a makeover last month, I want to share that it's still really easy to post questions -- and you can do it in advance, like....today. 😁 Just sign in on the community, scroll to the bottom of the page, and "leave a comment."
