Go use ita's computer! Everyone else is!
Seriously, sorry your day is being thwarted by computers.
Everytime I start to be productive one of the cats intervenes with cute and I end up cuddling them and doing nothing. Guess I should head out.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Everywhere the stud finder says there should be a stud, I can't find one when I drill in.
I have found most stud finders to be semi-reliable at best.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am currently feeling awesome after watching last night's What Not To Wear with a big girl like me -- I think I do more or less what they said to. I could definitely try to layer more, but I do know the right shapes. (And by "big girl like me," I mean tall and kind of medium sized -- not fat, not skinny.)

I am also feeling awesome about the olive bread I made.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Jessica, it's probably too late, but what I've done when the studs turn out to be unconventionally spaced, or in the case of my circa-1900 house non-existent because they used horsehair plaster (made with real horsehair!), was use some 1X2s that I nailed along the wall so there were many anchor points that I knew to be deep enough. Then I attached the fancy-schmancy modern shelves to that and because the 1x3s are covered by the shelving, no one knows any better AND I haven't had any shelves falling off the walls... yet.

as soon as I posted my computer woes, I connected. All that means is that I am now testing things and finding OH SO MUCH that is wrong. bother.
I hate sending a status report saying, it was supposed to be complete, but here are all the known remaining problems.

The weird thing is, they're not, at least not according to the stud finder (and other things, like where the outlets are). The stud finder is finding 2" studs spaced 16" apart, exactly where they should be. I just can't feel them when I drill in, which makes me nervous. But I suppose it's equally likely that I just don't know what a stud feels like when it's drilled into. (But on the other hand, I want to be sure before I start putting shelves up and expecting them to hold heavy books!)
1X2s that I nailed along the wall
I may end up doing something like this. Which means it won't get done until next weekend, ARGH.
I have a feeling I'm going to encounter the same issues when I go to hang the yet-to-be-purchased pot rack. Home ownership is NO FUN TODAY.

So I got back from grocery shopping and was feeling lame about my day and mom called to tell me how hers went pear shaped. Cat got into cactus. Mom chased cat. Cat ran. Mom couldn't catch cat. Gave up. Caught cat, 1.5 hours before vet appointment. Decided to take cat in early because SHE CAUGHT THE CAT. Waits. Waits. Cat gets sedated, de-cactused. $150. Mom's morning is completely gone (she started at 7 am) and all she's managed to do that was planned was get dressed. Poor mom.
I'm glad for my boring day.
