Lipstick of the Day:  Pink Chocolate by Clinique 

Drink of the Day:      AW Root-Beer with Extra Ice 

When I started this blog I promised myself I’d keep it up to date.  Well, since the release of Claiming Their Mate things have been a bit crazy for me.  I really had great intentions of musing, ranting, and raving everyday - and I have - I just haven’t been able to post those musings, rantings and ravings online.

I am not what you would call Techno Savvy and I have no patience when my computer behaves in a less than cooperating manner.  I’ve been in Computer Hell for over a week, actually it’s closer to two weeks.  It got so bad my PC had to be wiped clean twice.  Thankfully I had my files backed up online at Carbonite.  After 14 hours of phone tech support with my PC manufacturer, 3 hours of talk time with my ISP, and reloading every file and the programs to access those files twice, I now have a fully functioning computer.  It’s fully functioning today.  I can only hope it will be fully functional tomorrow.

What makes me so angry is 1.) This is a new PC - a top of the line unit I bought last September, 2.) I bought the best, full coverage warranty the manufacturer offered, and 3.) The condescending attitude of the tech guys on the phone when I tell them what the problem is and they don’t listen.

I wouldn’t wish PC problems like this on anyone…well, maybe a few people, but I would rather pull out my eyelashes one by one than go through this again.

Have a nice day-

Lipstick of the Day:  Chapstick - the plain kind

Drink of the Day:      Orange Juice - but I wish it was a Mimosa

Good morning.  I like shopping at warehouse clubs and restaurant supply stores - places where I can stock up on boring necessities like laundry detergent, soap, paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags; stuff I have to buy and hate running out of.  A couple times a year I’ll stop by those stores and load up.  I did that yesterday.  Now, while I hate spending money on those kind of purchases, I really hate putting it all away.  Last night I got busy, put away a few things, but left the rest stacked in the kitchen to put away today.

Jackson is a two year old hound dog mix I adopted last year.  One day he showed up and decided to stay.  He’s a good dog most of the time.  He’s house trained, barks at strangers, rides good in the car, likes to cuddle, and gets along great with my other dogs.  His favorite game is ’Lets Try to Kill the Cats’ but, thankfully, the cats are smart, run fast, and he has yet to catch one.  His bad habits include digging in the yard (trenches, not holes), he can bark for hours until he gets what he wants (that’s how he whines), and shredding paper.

I thought, because the paper products I bought were in cardboard cases, they would be safe in the kitchen until I had a chance to put them away.  I was wrong.  This morning I woke to a floor covered several inches deep of shredded paper towels and toilet paper.  Jackson was sitting happily in the middle of the mess, his tail wagging, smiling, with scraps of paper hanging off his teeth. 

Hope your day is better than mine…
