Some computers, dogs and lots of reality TV

That is what I have been up too. Well, I think I am totally obsessed with my new computer! I have been on it a lot since I got it. I guess that happens when you have no job, and no kids to take up your time. I will have to say a lot of the time was from looking for jobs and I decided to change my email address. OMG if you can ever avoid this then please do because it is a big pain in the ass! The problem was my old email was just getting bombarded with junk mail! I mean like 300-400 junk mail a day. Yes I had a filter but still that many would still get through. Plus I would have to still go through all the junk mail because a lot of the time a message I wanted would be in my junk mail. I wanted to go to gmail anyway because 1. it puts all my google stuff in one place and2. I can program it with my win.d0ws ma1l. It took like 6 hrs to change all my addresses where I needed it changed. Is that not crazy or what?

The other thing is I am pretty crazed about B!g Br0ther, I absolutely love this show and this season has been crazy!!!! Chima is getting kicked out tonight and I could not be happier. I have been trying to find all the videos to see what really happened and not what the producers of the show want to show us tonight. I really wish I had the live feed but I really am not willing to pay for it. Also wish I had Sh0wtime so I could watch the after dark but I don't and again not really willing to pay for it. If you have never watched this and you like reality shows I think this is one of the best and you should watch it.

In other news we got Katie Jo's haircut and man she looks so cute. However, the lady could not finish her one leg so she kind of looks funny because everything else is shaved except her left front leg. I felt bad because Katie really does not like anyone to touch that leg and when the groomer tried Katie bit her in the face. Not bad but still it was the face. She told me and I was apologizing and she said it was not Katie's fault. She said she just hurts their and was protecting it. She felt bad because she did not finish and told me she was not going to charge me. I of course paid anyway. How could I not after she got bit. Anyway, Katie still looks cute and she knows it too. She just prances around the house like she is the cutest dog in the world. It cracks me up!

So that is about all that is going on with me the last couple days. Anyone going to check out the 0ct0m0m special on F0x this week? I can not believe someone paid for that. What a train wreck that will be!!

So excited!

I am so excited because I got a new computer! YAY now I can actually do things and it won't take forever! I got a Ga.teway laptop fron Be.st Bu.y and I got a great deal. I like it because it has a full size keyboard. That is one of the things I always hated about laptops was that the keyboards are different, especially the number keys. I hate using the ones on the top! This one has voice recognition so really I do not even have to type. I am totally dictating this blog post and not typing a thing. Isn't that cool?

I haven't been online that much this weekend because I had the Ge.ek squ.ad come and set up my wireless router. They told me it would take 1 and half hrs. My window was from 4-8 today. He got here at 7:55, of course...isn't that how it always goes? Anyway, it took him all of 5 minutes. They totally just wanted some more money from me. They also tried to sell me some crap about they would come and optimize my computer for an additional 130.00. He told me if I did not do that it would take the computer 1 hr to start up do to all the factory installed programs that I do not need. I decided not to do that because I am pretty good with computers and figured it might take some time but I can totally remove unwanted items. So I get the computer home and you know how long it took to start up and then to uninstall all unwanted stuff? 1 minute to start up and about 10-15 to remove stuff. WTF? totally trying to rip me off! Glad I did not fall for it. I figured how hard could it be. I have had 2 prior computers and never had a problem. Anyway, so I am excited to have this. My hubby was not too excited because we really do not have the extra money but he said he knew I really wanted and needed it and it would help me if I went back to school. Also he said, "Happy wife, Happy life." He is pretty smart. I think he has learned a lot since we have been together for 16 yrs. LOL.

Anyway, yesterday we went to an engagement party/BBQ/campfire. It was a lot of fun! I was a little worried because it was with people he works with and his friends. I am not a big fan of most of his friends but this guy is a really great guy1 Not the type I would figure to settle down but he is really happy and in love with her. It was so much fun! Plus we rode with another couple so neither of us had to worry about drinking and driving. We both got to let loose and it was fun! This was the first time I met the people he works with and they are all really great people! One of the girls came up to me and said," I am so glad to meet you. DH talks about you all the time and he loves you so much! You are a lucky girl!" To which I totally agreed! It made made me feel good!

I hope you all had a great weekend!
