Oh where has the time gone?????
It seems like an eternity since I last posted pictures and did a regular post. I did feel pretty lucky that I had a few back ups to show. Hope you didn't mind my retreads? if that's the right term for them:)))
I'm here to finally announce that I have finally gotten a new laptop!!! Yipppeeee!
17" screen HP, blueray, webcam builting in (now you can all see me if you dare) and hey, this thing really moves with lightening speed. What a dog my other one was! ( no disrespect to dogs) Granted I haven't loaded all my junk on it yet. I'm also afraid to upload the Photoscape photo editing program I always used. All these warnings come up when I get close to downloading it. I may have to breakdown and buy Photoshop. Do any of you use Photoshop???
The new Window 7 is pretty cool but I haven't figured it all out yet. Thank goodness I have a few younger friends that I can pick their brains about this kind of thing. I did actually pick the computer out myself without any assistance...which explains what took so long.
It's times like that.....
I remember when I was a child....
I can here my parents voices telling the story of how long it would take me to pick out shoes I liked.( I have no recollection of that by the way)
Forget about picking out Barbie clothes.........that, I do remember!!!
and especially when it was my $5.00.
That was a lot of money back then!!!
I guess I've always been frugal.....not cheap!!!
I hate that word!!!
It's been really weird not having my own computer for so long.

Down right Yucky!!!
As I mentioned before I was spending much of my time at the public library using their computers. This is the first day that I haven't been there ........I wonder if they miss me???

It had it's advantages.
Quiet!!!
Clean!!!
More room to work then I have here!
Fast Computers!!!
All the free printing you could want!!!
Free movies to take home at night!!!
(I only took 1- The Reader....so good!!!)
The only thing it didn't have was a radio.
I really miss listening to NPR!!!
The computers there don't have sound either so no music either from some of your blogs!
or anything else.
But then I was suppose to be working!!! right?
Also no George or my sweet kitty cats!!!
That I missed the most!
He'd call me while I was there and I'd have to whisper, so as not to disturb anyone.
"Hellllllooooo"
he'd whisper back "heelllllooooo.....do you want me to make you some sandwiches???"
I'd start laughing!!!
He answered that way almost everytime!
I'd lol everytime!
I'm easily amused!
Love inside jokes......well, not so inside now that I've told all you guys.
shhhh don't tell him.
It's from the movie "Bad Santa"
if you've seen it you'll get the joke!!!
Sorry for some of you who have no idea what I'm talking about.
You have to see it. It's manditory at Christmas time as much as
"A Christmas Story"
Anyways besides spending lots of time looking for a new computer, getting orders done, cleaning the house after months of never being there, decorating after Christmas with Christmas decorations which I won't bore you with now!
I have been trying to get more......

haha
Doesn't bother me.... I can't hear it!!!
I just want to thank all of you for having patience with me and still coming by with support as I went thru this little problem.
Seems extremely minor in comparison to what's happening in Haiti.
Those poor people have gone through so much hardship already seems so unfair to have it compounded like this. I hope you can reach out and do what you can.
One website that I've just recently found is
Please go visit and show your support!!!!
Thank you!
