Ok, I haven't posted in a while.
My computer toasted itself. Its really just a chip on the motherboard that the connection to the motherboard broke on (because the laptop was poorly designed and a part was rubbing on it), but it means the whole motherboard would have had to be replaced. So I got a brand new laptop. And its got a few awsome upgrades. It gets 6 hours of battery life and can burn dual layer dvds. It's super nice.
It arrived Wednesday but I barely got to turn it on Wednesday night before I had to go to bed. Thursday I stopped up at the meetup at I'm game, I left early to come home and play with my new toy, but ended up going to bed at 9, I don't know why I was so tired. Friday my aunt stopped over, and I got to show it off but not really use it. I haven't even really gotten to play with it today. I spent the morning doing laundry and cleaning up the basement. I was going to head out to sams club around 11 but got delayed. I found out my friend Quentin is now a dad to a bouncing baby boy named Corvin. I chatted with him for a bit and saw picturns and such. He's so tiny. His moms thinking of taking him to Pensic the first week in August, and I think she's crazy.
Well after that I did end up going to sams club and buying a ton of food. I can home and thru out all the unedible food in our fridge and put the new stuff away. Changed the laundry around and took a nap. I was going to make the General Tso chicken I got at sams club for dinner, but it servers 8, anyone want to come for dinner some time next week and eat up some of the chicken?
I really wanted to go camping this weekend, but there is no way we could have. I know I'll get everything under control one of these days, and I am starting to see progress. I honestly don't know how people do it. Have a job, a house, kids, cook at home, do yardwork, keep the house clean and still have time for hobbies. I know part of it is they stay on top of things and don't let them get as bad as the house was for a while. I also know the more I do the more I am able to do, when I sit around moaning about all the needs done, I'd be better off just doing it.
I am so glad I got a full time job. Working part time and having the freedom to do all the extra stuff I wanted was nice for a while, but long term I think I would rather have the things the extra money can buy, like nice vactions and new laptops, and more importantly pay off the house sooner. I slept in late too many mornings and did nothing with my day, maybe a more structure job would have fixed that, but I think I'm almost doing as much extra stuff now as I was when I was working part time.
