Fast And Furious


Wooooaaaa, Nellie! We've bought a new computer and it is big.... add to that the new wireless connection that we have and it's fast. I can upload pictures to my blog in like lightning speed. No more sitting around for half a day while my pictures upload and downloads are awesome! We have a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard and it's all just too much for me..... I mean poor old Beulah (the old computer) sitting in the corner waiting to be emptied of all her information is just too sad. I will pass her on to my Dad and he can join the 21st century..... More and more in the last year we had been finding that we were having trouble with things on Beulah..... she wouldn't open up the disc thingy and lets us burn discs any more and she hadn't been letting us play movies or cd's on her for over a year. Once that happened Teapot got nervous about trying to upgrade our software since we could very well lose every darn picture there is and we have over 6000. (In my estimation that is a lot but then some of you out there probably have way more!)
So here I sit with this nifty new computer and I am in awe of what it can do and how fast it is at doing it. It will take me a while to sort everything out but already I feel like I'm going to be on a big learning curve.... first of all, my old word processing package is gone and I have to learn a new one. And there are strange things that mean nothing to me yet like a little chair icon that I'm afraid to click on.

We have changed our email since we are no longer with Telus so that is a biggy. I have spent half the morning trying to get things switched over to our new email address. It is quite irritating.

For the last few days it has been hot, hot, hot! I can't do anything past 10:30 a.m. and so the whole day is a complete washout, until about 8:30 in the evening. Teapot and I are supposed to be going down river this weekend but I'm not holding my breath because I don't know if either one of us can handle this God awful heat. It has been +32 degrees and is supposed to be higher than that as the weekend approaches..... argh!

So now that is severely hot I should go and get to work and clean up the dining room table that's in the sunroom and the couch, which is still covered in fibre from the Olds trip, then do a little spinning for level 3..... today it will be a spiral yarn and at least that isn't as fast and furious as this new computer..... a little more relaxing..... see ya tomorrow with hopefully some pictures.
