I have to say that these past couple of days with my internet service has not been fun! My router keeps shorting me off and kicking me off my internet connection. So I have spent quite a bit of time on the phone with my service provider and quite a bit of time trying to fix the problem. But I guess the only way to fix this problem is for me to get a new router. Until then I only have internet when it decides it wants to work. So any plans of blogging about halloween props or anything else for that matter will have to be put on hold for a couple of days. But hopefully things will get sorted out when I get a new router in the next couple of days.

Here in Eastern Canada we don’t normally see to much hurricane type weather. But apparently we are supposed to be getting some of this hurricane Irene. It has been all over the news that this massive storm is supposed to hit our province sometime later today. We have been doing some preparations getting ready for it just in case it hits harder than it’s supposed to. I’m not hugely concerned about it, but I am really scared for the people that are right in the middle of it. So stay safe all and hopefully none of us will get hit as badly as they are forecasting and will all be safe and sound when it’s all over.

Well less than three weeks and these children will be back in school. And I for one can’t wait!!! But before they head back to school I have to head to the stores to finish up their back to school shopping. And although the stores won’t be quite a busy then if there was a Black Friday sale, they are still quite busy and I hate crowds. But if going into the store and purchasing items for them to go back to school is what I need to do then I will do it. I just hate the thoughts of shopping with a crap load of people doing the same thing.

Yeah, yesterday I took my computer back to the store where I purchased it, hoping against hope that they would do something for me. And…. they did! They gave me a new computer to replace my other one and I didn’t even need any highlights coupons at dropdowndeals to get this new computer. I was so happy! The warranty had run out on mine, but it was only out for a week so they happily replaced my computer and I am extremely happy about this. So because of this amazing customer service, you can just bet that this will be the store where I head to when I or one of my family members needs a new computer.

You guys are absolutely NOT going to believe this. About three weeks ago I broke down and bought a new laptop. Well guess what??? This damn thing is infected. That’s right, it’s only three weeks old and I’ve started having problems already. So I guess I won’t be doing any blog posts on yoga blocks any day soon. I have to take this stupid thing back to the store and hopefully they’ll fix it free of charge. If not, I really have no idea what I’m going do as I really don’t have any money left for repairs or a new computer. So wish me luck and hopefully I’ll have a good resolution to post about sometime in the near future.

Well this certainly has turned into a very expensive week for us. Both my husband and I are on holidays. He’s on salary for his job so he’s still getting paid for this week, but I’m not. And… not only am I losing wages, but I’m losing tips as well. But that’s okay. I needed this time off. I only wish I had saved up some silver dollars so I’d have a little extra cash to play around with this week. But next week is coming and it will be back to work for me so I’m just going to enjoy the time off and not worry about the lack of dollars coming through my home.
