Slowly Getting Back Online

Well, my pretty new laptop arrived! Wheee! It's not even mega-top-of-the-line-cool, like a couple of the ones I saw online, but it's UBER-faster than my older-than-shit desktop downstairs. But, there's this little thing called "budget", and I was informed that the mego-drool-machines just weren't in it. Neither, aparently was the nearly $8000 plasma TV I saw at Best Buy recently. I've never been quite so enthralled by a pretty TV before. Brian appropriately dragged my ass away from it before I could even write down the stats so that I could buy one in, say, ten years or so. When I can get it off Craig's List for $50. But, budgets are harsh mistresses, and those pesky little things like "groceries" and "clothes for the children" took priority, so we ordered me a little Dell Inspiron, making liberal use of a discount Brian had through work. It may not be all top-of-the-line, but it's still got it goin' on. *bounce*

It arrived early last week and I've only JUST managed to retrieve all my archives off of my older version of Opera so I can properly log in to all my web crap and such. And I'm still having royal arguements with MS Outlook and iTunes, trying to import archives so they mesh with my phone... bleh. It all makes my head hurt. Needless to say I've been busy importing, downloading, installing, and cursing. Eventually, though, it will all be done and it will be totally cool at my little laptop. Yay! *crosses fingers*

That'll probably be about the time I need to upgrade again... right? *rolls eyes*

I'm looking forward to getting it all into some assemblence of order though. Then I can spend a little time each week working on the web sites that need updating. Like this one. *grin*

Meanwhile, this week is spring break. *twitch* I had the kids home all last week because of illnesses, and now this week there just ISN'T school. *twitch-twitch* I think I'm a wee bit stir crazy in here.

More later. Other stuff to do now.

Current Mood: crazy

TWO? Twooooo!

Better late than never, but I've finally logged in to post that on Monday, my beautiful, precious, gorgeous, CUTE, sweet, adorable, princess-of-a-little girl turned TWO!!!

Oh MAN, but it slips by so fast.

And she is in this super-uber-knock-you-off-your-feet-'cause-she's-so-damned-CUTE phase right now.

I swear, sometimes I don't get anything done because I'm just sitting there, mesmirized by the cuteness...

Go on... I dare ya... pictures are here! If I get a chance, I will add captions. Some are from the weeks before her birthday, and some are from the dinner celebration we had Sunday night, as well as Monday itself.

Current Mood: jubilant

Great Tits, Bad Ass...

Had my first mammogram just over a week ago. While I have an appointment where they will follow up with a yearly "woman's health" exam *grumble, wince, compain* the place I had the scan at sent me a "layman's terms" letter in the mail. I'm pleased to say that I got the all-clear notice. I've been dodging having that exam, and frankly I thought the stress of waiting for the results alone was going to put me into the grave. Any time someone starts using the C-word and pointing in my general direction I get... edgy. It hasn't helped that I think we've been battling some sort of stomach bug or other around here. I've felt prettey well flattened for nearly a week. Bleh.

Meanwhile, now I just need to stop trying to dodge the "colonoscopy" bullet. One of these days. Maybe. Mostly I'm still too terrified of that one to go. No matter how many times people tell me that I won't remember a thing... *shudder*

Anywho... All tests CURRENTLY in circulation come in clean. That's worth something. *nod-nod-nod*

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... in less than a week's time, my daughter will turn TWO YEARS OLD. Already!?!

Pictures coming soon. Ooooh! - and so's that laptop I've been whining about! *bounce*
