Guess where I am?

I’m sitting in the living room! Our computer has always been out in the office . . . . but today I got a laptop! We now have it up and running and the wireless thingy works so I can go pretty much anywhere in the house and still be online!

I’m thinking tomorrow morning its going to be coffee and blogs in bed!!!! Doesn’t that sound decedant?

The desktop is also closer to fixed. We got the Comcast stuff reinstalled and got DH’s email to work again. He didn’t actually loose everything. Most of it, but the stuff that was in the new account is still in there so the most recent stuff, which is a good portion of the stuff he was worried about, is actually still there. . . . phew!



Few more files to restore and a few more programs to install and we will be in tiptop computer shape around here!

Off to do a bit of knitting . . . .

I’m in LOVE!

with McAfee’s Internet Security Suite 6.0!!!! It is truely incredible! Granted I have to do a few things like turn off the add blocker to be able to read tagboard messages . . . . but I can also read my yahoo email without all those annoying ads they flash at the top of the screen . . . .

No more popups, it asked my permission before every cookie, and it won’t let anything install without checking with me first, even the things I’m installing.

I love, love, love this program. I don’t know how my computer and I ever had a relationship without it!

The rest of the update:

The computer is almost back to “normal” though I did accidentially wipe out DH’s email and address book and there are still a few things which will need to be reinstalled . . . but overall we are at about 75% put back together. Only we’ve left out all the artifical preservatives, colors and fillers this time! Which means we have a lot more empty hard drive space than we’ve had ever!

Non-computer update:

So I have another thing that I’m totally happy about. Promise not to laugh. Really, I mean it, don’t laugh.

I love these new bathroom wipes from the Scrubbing Bubbles folks. I bought some last trip to the store and they make it so quick and easy to keep the bathroom wiped up. In general I tried to avoid all this flushable, disposable, promises to make you life so much better crap that is out there. I’d rather use a dish cloth/towels than sponges and papertowels. Rather wash dishes than toss paper plates, untensils and cups etc . . . but in this case I’m making an exception. This stuff will now be on my list of things to stock regularly.

Fiber Content:

I finished another pair of socks this morning. I’d take a picture to show you, but at the moment I don’t have photo editting software installed so you wouldn’t get to see it anyway!

Oops, my brother just arrived, gotta run!
