Hope you get your laptop fixed soon! I miss you!

Thanks ;-)

Well, the new hard drive has arrived and XP is slapped on. I had some trouble getting it connected to the internet so I'll have to work on that tonight. Of course I have no programs at all...

For any of you geeks who do not yet have a USB thumb drive, here's one you might consider. It's a real, live ballpoint with a 256MB drive in the top. I don't know about the quality of the pen, but it looks fairly classy. $80 street price.

Have fun loading programs tonight! Hope you're able to get on-line soon.

My boss and his boss had a long discussion this afternoon, and unconfirmed rumor has it they were discussing giving us more toolz to use with our PDAs...like wireless and more memory. If that comes true, I'm gonna be VEY excited, to say the least.

Though I still want a keyboard more than wireless. If I had extra money, I'd spring for it myself and just hope to be reiumbursed someday without truly expecting it.

Hooray! Just home from grocery shopping. I spent a lot, but I have enough to last me for WEEKS so long as I use frozen veggies instead of fresh. I've been using mostly frozen lately since cold raw veggies aren't nearly as appealing to me when it's freezing outside (12 degrees this morning). Plus they're cheaper...so that's a bonus, too!

I got a whole turkey breast in addition to my regular meat. They're so cheap at the moment I couldn't resist, and I'm almost wishing I had picked up two. It'll take a coupla hours to roast, but then I'll have turkey enough to last me a long time, and I can freeze some of it for later lunches.

I love it when the fridge and freezer is full...such a good feeling!
