System failure & Shopping

Where have I been all week? Well lets just say that Jerry spent all night fixing my computer again. I just got my new hard drive installed last weekend and then when loading on rhapsody I had to reboot to load updates and that was is. Black screen of doom! So I had a good cry because I have had this computer for 7 weeks! That's it !!! WTF??? I haven't had time to load hundreds of useless programs that will cause it to crash. I have barely used it. Since I lost everything I had on it the first time I haven't really trusted it fully to do stuff on. So loosing everything a second time was not as devastating. HOPEFULLY (Knock on composite wood product known as my desk) It will run great now.

So I spent the whole day shopping with my friend Karen. It was a ton of fun. I haven't done something like that for a long time. We hit the Christmas Tree Shop in August (LOVE IT THERE!!!!!!) and then shopped all around August and Waterville. The plan was to hit Portland but we decided to stay closer so we could get more shopping in. I think I need to do more stuff like that. I always worry about doing things with people since I never know what to talk about and get a little nervous, but Karen and I have known each other since 7th grade so it was really easy to talk. I got some really adorable stuff for Christmas decorating. I am going to do snowmen this year! I used to have a big collection but I sold it all when I was going to move. Not this time I am keeping it. I found some great figures and some painted canvases. I am totally going back there next month and getting more stuff. It's worth the drive...especially if you hit Panera's for lunch which is one of my favorite places. (My mom takes me there in Florida when I am there) So it was a great day. I almost forgot about the fact that I was 35 LOL....I'm OVER IT! :) The lady who thought I was lying about my age when she cut my hair made me feel like a million bucks so God Bless her for pulling out of my funk!

Well I am off to clean and pack and shit for our busy week. Jerry is away in NH for a week, Zack is off to SEA camping trip for school 3 days and I am going to join Jerry for a few days in NH. SO No guitar lessons until after Thursday :)
