Well Christmas has come and gone. I never really felt in the spirit this year. My computer has been messed up since the 17th and I have been generally annoyed using this old one. I blame some of my holiday blahs on the fact that I couldn’t get to my iTunes library (on the broke machine) to set my holiday music to shuffle so I never really listened to the music.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I finally took the computer into the Apple store to get fixed. The credit card company should reimburse me for the $300 charge to fix it. I felt bad for the lady I was sitting next to and talking to at the Genius bar. The “genius” she got had no clue and no real troubleshooting skills. I wanted to jump behind the counter and help her LOL. I think she had a faulty modem or it could of been the adapter she was using (she still connects on with a 56k). Actually there were a couple things I would of tried to troubleshoot. I didn’t have to worry about how adept my genius was because I knew my problem was beyond them. I just needed them to get it set up to send in. I should get it back in a week.<\/p>\n
Christmas was nice. Poor RAW out did himself ad spent more money on my then he intended. Of course he has to keep mentioning it. Not in a mean way but in a disbelief kind of way. He got a Lensbaby 3.0 for my camera. I actually had one on order to buy myself but then he mentioned that he was looking at them I canceled it. He actually got me a version 1 but they have come a long way and it was hard to use. Unfortunately for him the version 3 was also 3xs the cost. It was backordered but ended up coming in time for Christmas. He also got me a nice knife set and 3 laser levels. I had asked for that so he got me three different types to make sure LOL.<\/p>\n
I got him the alcoholic theme package. He has been into wine so I got him some wine glasses and opener kit. Then I got him a beer making kit. Of course in the meantime he gets diagnosed pre-diabetic.<\/p>\n
Hollace got her iPod (allbeit a reconditioned Mini) and a iFish, lots of Littlest Petshops and a couple of beanie baby kiwi. She pretty much got everything on her list.<\/p>\n
The day after Christmas we went to mom and dads. Pam was there as she just passed her kids to her inlaws for the week so I got to hang out with her a bit. Her family was here the weekend before. I had a little surprise birthday party to celebrate her 40th birthday.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow Cindy and her family come for a visit.<\/p>\n
Last weekend RAW broke the thermostat off of the oven. It looks like a new oven is in our future. Unfortunately replacing it will be more like a major kitchen remodel. I really wasn’t planning on doing that right now but I guess we don’t have a choice unless we expect to bake everything in our toaster oven!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
