Did you all know that Facebook has safety checks now?! There was a shooting in Orlando, and I know a few people who live there, so I went to FB to try and make sure they were all ok, and FB made that really easy. Right in my notifications, there was a "safety check." Basically, it was a page created specifically for the shooting event, and there was a list of all my FB in the area who had marked...
I didn't do anything particularly exciting last week. I did watch the U.S. Secret Classic (a national gymnastics meet) on the NBC Sports website since I didn't get to see it on TV, so that made me happy. I've also still been drinking the kombucha I mentioned last week, but it doesn't seem to be giving me the energy boost I thought it was. I guess it was a fluke :-/ But other than that, it's been...
Guess what! Guess what! My laptop is back and it works! Actually, this is kinda funny, it works because it actually isn't my laptop. Mine had some faded spots from where my wrists rubbed when I used the keyboard, and this one does not... I'm 99% sure my laptop was just beyond fixing and they sent me a refurbished one. It's the same make and model though, so as long as it works how it's supposed...
This is going to be a sad commentary on my dependency on technology, but my internet and cable went down for a few hours the other night, and I had nothing to do because even the book I was reading was borrowed online, and all I could think about was how I couldn't even post a status update to tell everyone that my internet was down. And then I thought about how I was going to have to start a...
Would you believe I have no news this week? My life has just been same old, same old. The laptop has been shipped off for repair for the third time. The weather has been nicely hot, though a bit stormy, which sucks for grocery shopping. I'm all caught up on my shows. Oh, I am dealing with Best Buy and a rather large refund I never received, and I'm starting to get worried, but someone is working...
MY LAPTOP IS STILL BROKEN. I just... *sigh* How hard is it, really, to CHECK that the computer is working before sending it back? I mean, the second I took it out of the box, it was already turning itself on and off like it's been doing since the first time I sent it in. Literally, before I even had the chance to hit the power button myself, which means it had to have been doing that since they...
I really didn't have a very exciting week. That's not a bad thing, it just doesn't give me a whole lot to talk about. My laptop came back, but it was still acting weird when I first turned it on, so I need to kind of test it out a bit more to see if it's actually working :-/ Some better news is that I've finally started catching up on the few shows I watch that I had fallen behind on (i.e....
So I've been really stressed and tired and a little out of it lately, but I actually had a pretty good week both on and off the blog. And the comments I've gotten this week on the discussion post have been off the chain! (I've never used that phrase before, seemed like fun to give it a try. How'd I do?) Seriously though, I love when discussion posts turn into actual discussion. You guys are the...
I had a few incidents this week, one with the AC and one with some freaky-ass spider-looking/giant-mosquito-looking bugs, but both were handled without too much trouble. And I even have a bit of good news this week! So I have this *other* laptop that was the first laptop I ever owned and served me well for like six years (ok maybe not *well* for the last couple years, but it worked, at least)...
Let's see... no word on the laptop yet (though this one is getting even slower), no crazy dreams, no ridiculous lawn mowing or construction---I don't even know what to talk about this week! But quite frankly I'm not complaining since I'd rather not have computer troubles and loud noises when I'm trying to sleep. I do have lots of bookish things to share though, so I'll just skip right to...
