New Compy!!!

We got our bonus refunds yesterday from Uncle Sam! So we are paying off Zach's truck and since Zach's computer is ancient these days for what we need to do and mine is even older, we went out and found a more reliable basic computer. Sad that you can buy a computer that cost half the price of your three year old computer and it runs three times faster and better.




We got a Toshiba Satellite. I didn't know Toshiba was a computer brand, but I guess they are supposed to be fairly decent and will do well for what little, but neccessary we need to do. It was a fun trip getting it though as we had to wait for about 2 hours for it to be done so we went elsewhere. It was sorta like a unplanned date. I like those and we haven't had a real date for quite a while. We ran over to Jordan Creek and after finally finding parking, we walked to Scheels and grabbed some greatly needed replacement shoelaces for Zach's boots. Then we wandered around for a little bit as we had time to kill. Zach had to show me the hand gun he wants to purchase before the law that forbids the purchase of such a thing goes into action the first of November this year. "It is for your personal protection at home when we move to the country." he says. I see. Then he adds "I also have been meaning to get the handgun for hunting this fall anyways." Ah, ha!! Oh well, as long as I can get a couple chances at Bambi too.




After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, we left Scheels hungry for the cheesecake that was earlier promised. We got seated in less than 5 minutes. Very nice since my stomach was beginning to eat me inside out. We looked at the cheesecakes and drooled (well not literally for those who feel like pointing that out is a major concern to them). We ordered a yummy appetizer...buffalo wings, thanks to my honey who knows these are favorites of mine... and then ordered the lovely desserts. It was oh, so very good and I will finish mine right after I finish writing this little piece of Jamie's life.




I call it a date and it was great! Now after Zach has put in the important stuff, including his music, and I have got other things set up and after a couple games of Mah Jong, I am very tired, but very happy and thankful for this new technical little thing.




Happy birthday to Zach, me, and happy government bonus refunds!!!!

Site Counter!!!

I am so very excited! First reason, I am so very tired for some reason and my coffee just taste so very good this morning, there is a meeting at work for blood screening and that means about an hour on the clock break, and then finally, I figured out how to put the site hit counter on my blog. That is a huge achievement for me as I know so very very little about computers and all the inner workings and language and stuff. Well, it took me about 15 min. or so, but finally I figured out where to copy and paste in the correct place. It took some experimenting, but success!! So now each time ya'll check the site out I can start racking up the numbers. Now I just need to figure out count down to certain date timers. Here comes Spring!!! 16 days till Spring!!!!! I can't wait!!
