Well, I very nicely set it up that my blog would upload my twitter stuff as entries and it is supposed to check multiple times a day. Today I was at SimplyMac and saw that my blog hasn’t been updated since June 2. Wow, that is a lot of stuff that hasn’t been put on here. No wonder no one comes to read this anymore.
Well the coolest thing is that we have money this month. We got 2 new tv’s with surround sound for both. K likes to laugh that the tv in the family room is bigger than she is. At Genetics this past month, they measured her at 51.5 inches. We told her we would get her new shoes before going to Elitch’s again, cuz you have to be 52 inches for most of the roller coasters.
We got a 52 inch Samsung 750 in the family room and a 42 inch Vizio in the bedroom Everyone keeps asking why we got such a big tv in the bedroom, I said, so I can see it without my glasses.
Ken got his Jeep. it is a 1990 jeep wrangler. He loves it and even went to the car club group from Compassion. He changed the oil, spark plugs and belts. and he wants to join 4 wheel club here in town. I just laugh and remind him that the trip will probably include camping (which is just fine for me, but he isn’t into that much!!!)
And the best part, today, he bought me a new iMac!!! I got a 24 inch, and this thing it huge!! I can’t put it in my desk cuz it is too big, but I won’t take my hutch off, so it is sitting in front of the old monitor
I will put a picture on flickr!!! And the best part… I didn’t have to lose all my settings and files and stuff off the old one… all I had to do was connect with a firewire and it transfered everything for me!!! Not even my email rules!! I tell you, the more I learn about Apple, the more I can’t believe how long it took me to switch. When I found out about the parental controls, that was what had me sold. K can’t go to a website or get or send an email from someone I don’t know about without me knowing!! I LOVE it! Every one who has kids should get a Mac.
I do still find a few websites that don’t support Mac. Like when we signed up for our car insurance, you had to have IE. I just called them, told them they were stupid and to mail me the papers
(ok, I didn’t say they were stupid, but I did tell them that there are enough of us out here that use Mac, that they need to get past this MUST have IE crap!!!)
We also got me a Nintendo DS and a Wii, finally. It was late for Father’s Day, but he says with it being more for the family, it doesn’t count anyway!!
I think I am going to plan to do something else as well. We were going to go on an Alaskan Cruise this summer, but we decided that we don’t want to spend that much money on something that we don’t know if we will enjoy. I have always done fine on water, but since I actually get motion sick SNOW SKIING, I think our plan is better. We are just going to go on a family vacation this next month and go to Sea World and such. In October we booked a 3 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera on one of K’s long weekends. If we like it, then in December or so, we will put down a deposit on an Alaskan Cruise for next summer where we are able to schedule that first and work around everything else. This summer was just too hard trying to work around GS camp and all that other stuff. Anyway, I am very excited about all of this stuff… and K’s passport is on the way anyway so we are good!!!
Hopefully now that I have this wonderful new computer, I will be updating more!!! (now to get use to this wonderful new thin little keyboard!!)
