Update on computer and other ramble-y stuff

Thank you all for your comments - I knew you would get just how traumatic it was - and you did!


And thank you Kathryn, for checking in to see how my new relationship is going (and, btw - what is a Cloudy?  I must have missed the exlanation).
As for the new relationship - it's slow going.  It sure is shiny and pretty though.

The keyboard is completely different.  I was going to post last night - but after somehow deleting my post twice, I gave up.  It may have had something to do with the extra glass (or two) of wine . . . but I don't think so, since I just accidently deleted the previous sentence - and have not consumed more than my fair share of wine (which may change if it keeps deleting stuff!).  If I recall - it was going to be AWESOME.  It's gone now though - so you are stuck with this one.

When we upgraded the computer - we also upgraded to Windows 7.  Yeah - it's all shiny and pretty too - but am still figuring some of it out.  You know how normally you have that special "undo" button for when you do something stupid - like deleting your entire post?  Well, apparently Microsoft decided that it would be hilarious to hide that button.  Yeah - very funny Microsoft.  I have just found it though - so maybe we won't have those issues anymore.

Well in other news - the closet switch has been made.  Poor Hubby.  He just walked into his closet; looked around; shook his head and said, "I just don't understand...."  He looked like a little kid whose candy cane had just fell into the dirt.  It was actually funny.  The man cannot stand change (hmmm - then maybe marrying me wasn't the best idea.....)

I would post pictures - but it's not "finished" yet.  I want to put up shelves for my pretties (read: shoes).  So until I can come up with the extra cash (because hello? I just spent a bunch on a new 'puter and Christmas) it will have to wait.  BUT, in the meantime I think I'd like to pick a color and paint the area that will be behind the shelves.....maybe a red - or a shocking pink.  I'll have to think about it.

But in the switch I discovered that apparently, I have my own hoarding tendencies (and no! My shoes do NOT qualify as hoarding - they are very necessary!).  Apparently, I own 6 white tank tops - five of which are not only exactly alike - but are also the same brand.  Ditto with the 5 black tank tops.  Admittedly, I do adore tank tops for the summer and under jackets and sweaters in the winter - but seriously?  And since I'm confessing - I might as well admit that I also tend to stockpile papertowels and toilet paper.  But seriously?  That does not compare in the least to Hubby's hoarding tendencies - which would go way beyond pasta and tomatoes, if I let him!

I spent the day with a very good friend today.  I took her to a movie and lunch for her birthday.  I think she was just excited to get out of the house without kids (she has two tiny ones).  We saw "It's Complicated."  Do you know - this is probably the first "girl" movie I've seen in over a year (yeah - that's what happens when you live with boys and all your girlfriends have small children)!!!  I loved it.  It is very funny!  We have determined that we must do that more often.

Anyhow - from all your posts it looks as if you all had a great Christmas!  And here we are - staring 2010 down.  I think (hope) that it will be a very good year!!!  Hopefully one without any computer mishaps.....
