Final day of our holiday celebrations was also quite lovely. I dragged Gramma out of bed around 8:15 this morning (if I don't, she is likely to sleep until 10:30 some days) and took her home to visit my parents for the morning and into the afternoon. Mom cooked a very tasty dinner of quiche and a glazed ham for us, and I managed to trick dad's ( Read more... )

In the last month and a half or so, at least three of my friends have had their email hacked, and my father just had his hacked this morning. If any of you get a email from me that looks the *least* bit suspicious, don't open it. So far neither of my accounts have been hacked, but I am not cocky enough to believe that they are invulnerable to ( Read more... )

Thursday - looking for an excuse to get out of the house, I sent a message to a few of my friends from high school who are still in Marshfield asking if either of them would be willing to give me an alibi if I went into town. Luckily, Jeanie was available, so I grabbed my computer and killed an hour or so at the library before meeting her and ( Read more... )

So, the whole black screen thing with my computer that has been a giant thorn in my side since December? Turns out, once I got to a *competent* Best Buy Geek Squad (which Kennewick's is so not), the problem was actually too serious to fix. Which meant Best Buy had to buy me a new computer because it was still under warranty! Granted, they only ( Read more... )

After a month and a half of fuss, two computer tech places, and at least six or seven visits between them, it has finally been determined that the most likely problem with my computer going to black screen lies within the adapter cord. This was discovered totally on accident after I got it back the fifth time because we *all* wanted to make sure ( Read more... )

Yay, B&N has informed me that my books are being shipped! \o/ Especially since I've been ohmygodsobored the last few weeks because I have been computerless (after two shops and three return visits each, it has been determined that the Black Screen of Death is likely a sign that my harddrive keeps freezing up and thus needs to be replaced, so it is ( Read more... )

Did the movie thing again last night. Watched "Prince of Persia", which is indeed well deserving of the praise you all gave it, and then I hung around a bit longer to watch an episode of Big Bang Theory. I had to work this morning still, so I didn't stick around past 8:30, but hurray getting out of the house for an evening ( Read more... )

This morning was my third and hopefully final assistance with the early morning paper route, so yay getting to sleep in tomorrow! Well, in a matter of speaking at least - 5:15 totally qualifies as sleeping in since I've been getting up at 3:30 the last three days ( Read more... )

I don't consider myself much of a bag person. I choose bags based on how much use they would get, not how fashionable they are or having a gazillion different bags to match all of my outfits. I don't do fashion, I do comfortable and convenience.

That said, eBags.com has got to be one of the awesomest sites ever, at least as far as shopping and ( Read more... )
