Still testing my patience

February 16th, 2010 -- Posted in Blogging, Internet | No Comments »

My computer was acting up so badly yesterday that I finally had to shut it down for the day. It was either this, or throw the thing out the window. And since computers cost a lot of money, I chose option A. Well, it’s not working much better today. It is a little faster, but when I tried earlier to do a post on best muscle building supplements, after I hit submit the entire screen went black. So… I rebooted it and thankfully never lost the post. I really don’t know how much more of this I can take. I may have to start using the kids little netbook until I can afford a new computer for myself.

Computer crashed

February 15th, 2010 -- Posted in Blogging, Internet | No Comments »

I have to tell you all, that I’m just about at the end of my rope with the computer. Not only does it take so…. long to boot this computer up and get on the Internet, but now when I try to do posts on any of my blog, this stupid thing just sits there for quite a while with the message that it’s loading. A little while ago I was trying to do a post on acne medicine and the computer screen just went black. So I had to reboot the entire system and wait for ever to get back into my blogs. Something has got to change. I don’t have the patience for all this waiting!

My computer sucks!

February 2nd, 2010 -- Posted in Internet | No Comments »

I’m really starting to despise computers. My computer especially has been giving me a great deal of trouble lately. Every morning (and yes, I mean every morning) I will turn it on and wait anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes for it to load up to the computer. Then… when I’m finally able to get online, the stupid thing jams up. So I have to unplug it and take the battery out and restart it again. Normally after I do this, it does work okay. But just trying to get online first thing in the morning, has become a serious pain.

I really do need a new unit, but until I’m done paying for my car, I just can’t see this happening. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to keep doing what I’m doing with it, and pray to god that the computer fairy might head my way soon.

Possible career change

January 21st, 2010 -- Posted in Internet, School | No Comments »

Most of you may not know this, but I work outside the home as a waitress at a very busy family restaurant. Now most days I absolutely love my job, but physically it is getting kind of hard on me. I am on my feet constantly and most days am running around the restaurant as opposed to walking. This is why I have decided that this may be the time for me to make a career change.

I have decided to check out an online university to see what type of career change I may be interested in. I discovered a site over at Western Governors University which offers a lot of online courses that I could possibly be interested in. One of the courses that I have been heavily checking out is their bachelors degree online, and so far I like what I see. Not only are the classes done completely online (which eliminates travel time), but their professors are some of the best in their field. And when it’s all said and done, I will have a degree that is highly recognized in the industry. So… while I’m still making up my mind on whether this will be a good move for me, I will continue to check out this site a little more closely.

I was asked to check out this website and give my honest opinion of Western Governors University, for which I’m receiving cash compensation.

I hate my computer!

October 30th, 2009 -- Posted in Internet, general | No Comments »

I’m really beginning to despise my computer. Every day (no I’m not kidding), every day this thing jams up on me at least twice. Then I have to take the battery out and reboot it. Sometimes it takes me over an hour just to get on the Internet. I would love to get a new one, but with Christmas fast approaching I just don’t see this type of purchase in the near future. It has gotten so bad that at this point I would even welcome refurbished laptops. Anything has to be better than what I’m working with right now. But I guess I’ll have to keep using this one at least until the new year. Then I can see how much money we have left and see if a new laptop purchase is in the cards.

Computer update

September 2nd, 2009 -- Posted in Internet | No Comments »

Well as you all know, I was having some serious problems with my computer. Well here is the update on that. Yesterday was the worst day ever! It took me over an hour to log onto the Internet and when I was finally able to get on, it kept kicking me off with all these annoying pop up messages. Well after ANOTHER scan with Norton Anti Virus I think I’ve got it licked. Norton was able to catch two critical errors and today my computer is working a lot better. I hope I didn’t jinx myself by posting this here. But so far this morning this machine hasn’t been acting up at all. Hopefully this is the end of my misery. But with my life, you just never know.

Sometimes I despise my computer

August 29th, 2009 -- Posted in Internet | No Comments »

All week long my computer has been giving me a serious headache. My machine sent me a message that I had a virus and if it wasn’t looked after this virus would infect my entire system. So I have been doing a system wide scan on my computer constantly for the past few days instead of posting about things in my blogs such as plasma mounts or what are plans were for the weekend. I don’t think this computer is out of the woods yet and I really do think that I’ll be doing some more systems scans. Other than this, I really have no clue how to get rid of these viruses. If I ever do get rid of them, I’ll come back in and let you all know.

Camping in the rain

July 23rd, 2009 -- Posted in Crafts, Entertainment, Family, Home, Internet, Life, Parenting | No Comments »

Well it looks like this is what is going to take place. Last year we bought a brand new pop up camper trailer and have been making monthly payments on it ever since. But so far this year we haven’t been able to use it at all. I’m serious, it has rained every weekend since the kids have been out of school. Well my husband has decided that we are going to take the trailer out this weekend whether it rains or not. And yes, the weatherman is calling for rain all weekend. It’s too bad that we don’t do any rv camping. This way we wouldn’t have to worry about what the weatherman says. But we really need to get some use out of it. So… we will be going camping in the rain this weekend.

On the day that you place your order for baby shower invitations they will make them up and send them out to you on the same day.
