If I Was Santa.... (for my 'mature' gal friends here)

[Catty1]

My aunt sent this to me...I loved it.

It wouldn't open for me...

That was great, Candace. Sad but true. No, just kidding. It was cute, thanx. And Merry Christmas, girlfriend.

Laura - do you have Office 2007? If so, you have to download a converter (free) to open it.

It's just a Word doc...not sure why it would be trouble.

But I can email it to you (I THINK I still have your email addy. PM it to me just to be sure).

I do not have office and my computer is so loaded I am afraid to put anything else on it.. I NEED a bigger hard drive BAD!

Here's a PDF for you Laura!

And one link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

Upper RHS - you'll see a green arrow and words saying "Download Latest Version". Do that.

Then open and run it. This thing will clean out more unused and useless files than Windows Disk Cleanup can dream of.

When you go to the Windows tab on CCleaner, uncheck Autocomplete Form History. You may need to recover some passwords after this, but it is worth it. Check off all other boxes below. When a little box pops up to warn you, click OK and make it go away.

Then check Run Cleaner in the lower RH corner of the window. When it's done, look at how much crap it's removed! # is at the top of the window.

Do the same with the Applications tab.

In the left hand column, click on Registry. Click "Scan for issues" below. Click "No" to Back Up Registry popup box when it appears after you click "Fix Selected Issues" in the lower part of the box. Follow the prompts.

Repeat the Registry scan until no more appear.

This is longer to type than it is to do...and it will really clear up some space for you!

Phenomenal Woman - poem by Maya Angelou
This was excerpted in Glamour magazine July '98. I cut it out. Came across it the other day searching for a little used recipe. I hope you like it!

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
