    Still Entertaining me

    So today, I finally experienced the joy of having an event sent to me from an outlook email account, and it automatically putting ITSELF on my blackberry calendar. I can't tell you how much this excited me. I changed my work email over to Outlook just so I can send myself all the meetings and appointments and have them AUTOMATICALLY be put on my calendar. I'm seriously almost giddy. I am a nerd at heart.

    You'd really think I'm a nerd, if you could see me now, sitting at the table with my laptop, and swiveling around to do  something on the desktop computer, then swiveling back to do something on the laptop.

    I just can't help myself sometimes.

    Kenny Rogers fixed my computer

    My work computer is fixed. It was the fan. Some of you told me when I mentioned I had an issue that Dells were not good computers (where were all the naysayers when I bought the computer in October??) Anyhoo, I have to say other than not being able to change an incorrect phone number (which meant my predecessor got some calls about someone coming to fix a computer, instead of me getting those calls, OOPS) the customer service has been great. I called Tuesday when the computer broke, and yesterday they sent someone out who fixed it on the spot. He was also very nice, and My first thought when I saw him was: "Kenny Rogers is fixing my computer". He seriously looked like Kenny Rogers. I told Judi this later, and she asked me if I told him that, and I did not. We were very distracted by a couple other things that were going on at the time when the guy got there so it never really came up. Also, I once told someone that they looked like a celebrity when I worked in this little 3 register grocery store in my home town (aah, the good ol' B&K Foods *sigh*). Anyhoo, the guy seemed cool with it but came in a few days later, all mad because his wife did not think he looked like that guy, and couldn't believe some idiot checker (I'm paraphrasing) thought her husband looked like HIM. I don't remember who I thought the guy looked like now, bummer, huh? So now I'm wary of telling people their celebrity resemblences. Although I can't imagine anyone being upset that they look like Kenny Rogers. He's not a bad looking man. (Pre-plastic surgery, that is).

  • I don't want to talk about it



    The boys were in the pool when I got home for lunch. I suggested we should put some bubble bath in there, and kill two birds with one stone, half jokingly. Steven did it anyway. Good times. They are loving it.

    I don't want to talk about my work computer and what happened just before I left to come home for lunch. I don't want to talk about the fact that we just got it brand new in October, and that it started making a noise, very reminiscent of a weed eater while I was in the middle of typing two important documents. Both of which are gone now. Because my computer is broken. I'll be spending all afternoon on the phone with Dell. Because my computer sounds like a weed -eater, and I don't want to talk about it.

    Out of Pocket, and check this out

    I've been busy with work, home, and reading Nora Roberts books. I read the Dreams Trilogy, Sunday through yesterday. It was good. I'm still going to stick with the Chesapeake Bay Saga as my faves of hers, but several have been very enjoyable.

    I don't have awesome new stuff to post because my brain is fried from the work I've been doing, am currently working on (aside from this post) and will be doing all day. I'm useless for blogging in this mindset. Anyhoo, check out this super cute post about Thomas that Dick made the other day.

    Go  HERE.

    Update on the Oops

    I fessed up on the facebook messenger last night, folks. We had ourselves a good hearty laugh about the whole thing. (Well I assumed we did, I did, and I inferred from his comments that so did he, although since I wasn't actually speaking with him I could be mistaken . . .) I also managed to weasel out of him that he had in fact read all of his mom's Christian Romance novels by the time he was 14, so the thought of him reading some Nora Roberts isn't that far-fetched after all. I might have convinced him to give one a try . . .

    Oh, and he indeed believes in God, despite his doctoral candidacy status. He lives in the Bronx. It's required for survival.

    It's Saturday. I have been invited to a scrapbook party, and a bridal shower jewelry party today. Neither of which I'll be able to attend. Elijah isn't super cooperative at those things. lol  I have a dirty kitchen and no motivation to remedy it. I did manage to vacuum and move some laundry around but haven't gotten to the folding yet. I need some of Judi's imaginary "spray-on motivation".  I'll have to get my butt around later, as I'm feeding Elizabeth's cats for her today.  Sarah Mclachlan would be so proud . . . was that wrong of me??  (that's a commercial reference for those of you without t.v.'s)

    I'm off to procrastinate on my housework in the living room while reading Northern Lights. The book Judi smuggled into the states.

    Oh, P.S. I still like John better than Roman. Sue me. I can make the "pensive John Black" expression very well. You know the one, with one eyebrow raised. I can do that.
