Some of my girlfriends and I have been trying to get together for the past couple of months and finally we found a Saturday night that was going to work. So our plan was to get some pizza, junk food, and wine and watch movies and catch up with each other’s lives. And that’s just exactly what we did. We also talked about where everyone was working now, previous people that we had worked with, who’s on Facebook and who dropped off, and why do you think they dropped off of Facebook? and little kids eating boogers. OK, I didn’t say that it was a scholars night now did I? But we laughed and just had a good time. I forgot how much fun it was to hang out and watch movies with your girlfriends. We finally called it a night when we looked at the clock and it was around 3 am! We didn’t have anything that we were going to do special in the morning – well other than eat again (haha !!) But in a couple of hours I could smell coffee brewing in the kitchen and people rustling around. Now the night wasn’t earth shattering and we even had pizza and wine left over but I was trying to figure out why I thought it went so well. I think it was so much fun because we were planning on not going anywhere and just hanging out and time kind of slowed down for the night.
And what did I do for the rest of Sunday when I got home? Well, I worked on my computer. I never have said that I’m good at trouble shooting my computer and today was a day that I proved my point. It took me most of the afternoon, but I was able to get some things fixed that was giving me grief. The first thing was that my web browser kept freezing up on me. So first I saved my bookmarks, uninstalled the browser, installed it again and then cleaned up some of the bookmarks and downloads. I also cleaned up the files that I had on this laptop since the beginning of time. I ‘think’ I did it right and so far so good on accessing everything. I guess time will tell on that one! So I know that if I was better at this it wouldn’t have taken so much time. But next time – I’ll know what to do. Yikes! No I really don’t want a ‘next time’!! Now to check out why Kyle’s record player didn’t work. Now it’s not like the ones that we had growing up and simple. This machine edits your songs, cleans up the files, dumps them onto your computer or MP3 player. Yea, there lies the problem right? Anyway the boys had looked at it but I never checked it out. Do you know what was wrong with it? The stylus was broke. OK, so now where do I get one of those? Since I was up and running on the web again, I was able to find one on Amazon and ordered it today. Both boys like old record albums, but Kyle likes them probably a little bit more than William so it’s too bad that I think he’ll be back in Korea before he can actually use the machine!
I needed to get away from computer stuff for a little bit so I did a couple of loads of laundry. I wanted to wash some rugs and winter chore coats to store them away until next winter. If I had more ambition this afternoon I would have hung them out on the line because the sun was shining and there was a pretty good breeze. But they were OK drying on my clothes rack in the laundry room.
And the last thing on my To Do List was to work on my iTunes account. I was always using William’s account and I hated it! His password never worked and it was time for me to move on. So I was able to get my account all set up and downloaded some podcasts for next week. I want to start my running again and my excuse was that I didn’t have anything new to listen to. Yup, not an excuse anymore.
So now that the weekend is over and it’s not really that late (9:40 pm) I think I’m going to see what Daryl is watching on TV. He ran into town a little while ago and brought some cold Diet Coke home for me. I’ll need them for work tomorrow and I’m pretty sure I’ll have one before I go to bed tonight.
I have 2 Photo’s of the day today. The first one is a local Drive In that had a help wanted sign posted. But this business was looking for carhops for the summer. I laughed because I don’t think that this is a sign that you’d see very often.
And the second one is a picture of cemetery sign that was also on the way home this morning. You can’t read the sign too well, but it shows that the cemetery is at the end of the road. And you guessed it – it’s a Dead End road 🙂
