Nerd wanna be

I feel like I'm kind of a nerd.

For example, I get excited over things like Pi Day.

I like science fiction.

I don't know...what else is nerdy?

ugh.

Failing already.

However, I seem to lack the actual Nerd SKILLS.

Isn't that what makes someone truly a nerd?

They are good at computers or math or some such thing?

In my excitement over this epic once-in-a-hundred years Pi Day this year

I made sure to help arrange a family Pi Day.

We are having pizza (pie) and pie (dessert) for dinner.

I really wanted a Pi Day shirt but couldn't bring myself to spend the money.

Also I was determined to get a picture!

I googled for a good clock that would also show the date.

I double checked how to take a screen shot so I wouldn't screw that up.

(a true nerd would already know how to do this I think)

and then?

I screwed it up.

Behold my photos:

First a practice shot.

Placing my hands on the keyboard to be ready to take the shot.

Aaaaaand....missing it completely.

I thought it took the picture when you lifted your hands from the keys,

not when you placed them onto the keys.

I swear I read that!!

Luckily, what I lack in skill, I make up for in paranoia.

So I asked Carter to sit next to me with his phone and get a shot.

He did.

Whew.

Saved the day.

And the hopes of his not quite nerdy enough mother.

I could try again tonight, I know.

But my daughter in law introduced the idea into my head that the only true Pi time was the a.m. time because...you know....military time.

And now I cannot let go of that.

I'm trying not to overanalyze how much this proves my insanity.
