1082nd Friday Blog Roundup
Quentin’s first birthday happened this week. He was super confused about our birthday lawlessness (unlimited treats! parsley with breakfast! head rubs all day long!) and now super confused that all of the birthday excitement went away. The best was when people FaceTimed him, and he stood on his hind legs, his mouth half open, staring at the screen with his ears flicking because he kept hearing his name but couldn’t see a person.
Look at this face:
Happy birthday, Quentin Aeneas.

Stop procrastinating. Go make your backups. Don’t have regrets.
Seriously. Stop what you’re doing for a moment. It will take you fifteen minutes, tops. But you will have peace of mind for days and days. It’s the gift to yourself that keeps on giving.
As always, add any new thoughts to the Friday Backup post and peruse new comments to find out about methods, plug-ins, and devices that help you quickly back up your data and accounts.
And now the blogs…

But first, second, helpings of the posts that appeared in the open comment thread last week. To read the description before clicking over, please return to the open thread:
- “Unexpected Disclosure” (Infertile Phoenix)
Okay, now my choices this week.
The Road Less Travelled has a very sweet story about a KitKat theft, which was her mother’s favourite candy. She even traveled with her own stash because apparently KitKats are different country to country. I love the idea that her mother orchestrated the heist from beyond.
Lastly, Bereaved and Blessed defines her year with a word every blogoversary, and she is on #19. I want to hear what led to improvising, but nonetheless, go wish her a happy blogoversary.
The roundup to the Roundup: Happy birthday, Q. Your weekly backup nudge. And lots of great posts to read. So what did you find this week? Please use a permalink to the blog post (written between April 10 – 17) and not the blog’s main URL. Not understanding why I’m asking you what you found this week.

Happy 1st Birthday to Quentin! What a cutie! Head rubs all day long sounds especially amazing!
Thanks so much for featuring my 19th blogoversary post. I have shared some about what inspired improvising in other recent blog posts and your curiosity is planting a seed for me to write a stand alone entry about my journey to improv. I started taking weekly classes last October at iO Theater in Chicago. Practicing improv has brought so much joy and insight to my life. The improv idea of “yes/&” applies to just about everything, which I absolutely use in my day to day life, and it’s why I chose it for my 19th year of blogging.
Happy birthday, Quentin! And thanks, Mel, for the mention! I couldnot help but think of my mom when I heard that story on the news! I mentioned it in a text to my sister and asked if she thought there was any coincidence… and she responded with a a 😲 emoji! lol
Happy birthday to Quentin! I love that his people FaceTimed him.
We have a puppy and this was her first Christmas. For at least the entire week following Christmas morning she rushed into the room with the tree and did a quick lap just in case. Maybe there will be another morning with surprise gifts and wrapping paper? Best to check.
Aww! Happy Birthday Quentin – endless treats should be a daily thing for someone as adorable as you!
