  • Day 1 - No laptop

    so at around 2:30, UPS came and took my laptop away... itis on a journey to the Toshiba depot to see if they can resolve my overheating issues.. i sure hope they can... i've pretty much been using my laptop exclusively since i purchased it in november...  itis sucky not having it..  obviously, there are worse things, but when you get in a habit of doing something, and then have to change it or find a different way of doing things, it can be less than fun...  so i am on Bob's (my husband, for those who may not know) laptop currently...  i guess i could set up my desktop, for the first time since moving into this house 7 months ago, but the only place i could really put it would be in our bedroom, and i really don't want to have to go off in the bedroom any time i need/want to be on the computer...  hence why i am using bob's at the moment... the only problem with that is that he has it set up way differntly than i am used to...  obviously, these are minor inconveniences, but since i can, i am complaining...  so what to say...  my semester starts in just over a month... the kids head back to school in about 3 weeks...  it is crazy... the summer has flown by... with the timing of everything, our planned "summer vacation" has kind of gone by the wayside... which sucks.. i was really looking forward to taking the children to go experience something cool this summer... but life has a way of having other plans for you sometimes...  so i picked up a book that i've not read in its entirety in a long time.. i am currently on page 11...  that book is my Bible... i have intentions of re-reading it all the way through..  i found a website that says if you read 3 chapters a day (with minor adjustments here and there), then you can read it all in a year... i'm pretty much going to try and read as many chapters as i can manage, every single day, and see how long it takes me...  i figure, it could do a lot of good... i've been having a lot of problems with things here lately, and while i am praying daily, sometimes multiple times a day, what better way to find answers to my problems/questions, then go to the source..  i also plan to do a better job of my quest to start regularly attending church again... that has really been a tough one with the currently family situation, but it is something i really want to do... and we'll see how that one goes... probably close to how it has been going, but i have aspirations of doing better

    but anyway...  i really have been inspired by reading a blog from a girl i went to school with... it has motivated me to document more.. and to do more, in general...  maybe at some point, i'll thank her for the inspiration & motivation!  so, i plan on keeping a log of days without my laptop... and whatever general things pop into it along the way...
