New computer, snow, whatever

I just caught the beginning of whatever show is on after Dirty Jobs and they were talking about a form of racing that involves spray painted school buses racing in a figure eight. That means that without careful planning, you might crash into another bus while crossing the middle of the 8. Weird. That's all.

So, as a past post explained, my brand new laptop was broken. I finally got it back yesterday and it was fixed! Wooha! I actually worked from home so that I would be here when FedEx delivered it. Yes, I'm a dork and I love electronics that much. It was worth it though because it got here right around lunchtime and I wasn't that busy anyway, so I had a chance to play with it. :-)

It is snowing here, or icing or something. I'm not a fan. I don't know how people live further up north and deal with it. I didn't use to mind it so much until I wrecked the first car I bought with my own money because of an ice storm (5 days after I bought it, mind you)

We bought a new rug for the spare bedroom over the weekend. Inside it was a long cardboard tube, much like paper towels or toilet paper, only much, much longer and thicker. Bella decided immediately that it was hers. It was funny watching her trying to drag a 7 foot long tube around the house. Here is a picture of what has become of the tube. Note that she refuses to clean up after herself.

Canine haikus

Here are some haikus about my dogs:

Bosco:
Wags his little nub
Selective hearing he has
Cuddles on the couch

Bella:
High pitched excitement
Yellow monster runs around
Loves kisses and hugs

What's a matta' with me??

Why do I have this blog if I'm not going to write in it? I'm such a loser! Here I am watching the new incarnation of 90210 which leaves most of my brain with nothing to do.

I got a new computer on Monday. It is fabulous, the speed, the sound, the resolution, etc. Then I tried to watch some 30 Rock episodes on Netflix instant and that is when I discovered that the headphone jack is whack! I'm so depressed. This computer that I waited for for so long is going to have to go away again to get fixed and/or replaced :-( Sad sad sad

I'm thinking about having a Clint Eastwood film fest over the course of the year. I sat at home on NYE and watched some of his movies on AMC and just loved them. I also think he's dead sexy, even as old as he is now.

I'm trying to eat well and get in shape this year. So far I've done pretty well with the eating well. I'm still so scared of exercising and low blood sugars, though. I don't know why, though, seeing as I biked across France with no incident. I have an obstacle to overcome early next week, but after that, I will focus on good things from here on out!
