Oh yeah....my new computer is up and running! WooHoo! The doorbell rang this morning around 10:30 and who should be standing there but my neighborhood UPS man with three wonderful, beautiful packages for ME! It took no time at all and I was ready to go. I got the fancy schmancy speakers with subwoofer....won't dh love that?! LOL. I can only imagine what our house will sound like with my speakers and his surround sound....
Well, today was the first day back to school for the kids, and my first day home alone. I should be celebrating....however Betsy is home today. Apparently she spent most of her night "tossing her cookies". Poor kid....she's so pale and says she is shaky and her stomach is "flipping". Doesn't sound good....so she stayed home and is resting. I think she must have some kind of stomach bug, rather than a 24 hour thing, as she has been complaining about her stomach for a few days. I'm sure she will be ready for school tomorrow though.
Wee one definately went to school today. Nothing was going to stop her from riding her electric scooter to the bus stop! She so enjoyed the looks of envy from the little boys with their "foot powered" scooters....lol. Of course, you know what riding the scooter down to the bus stop meant....I had to take it home. Now, I'm not a klutz, however, I am not used to riding the thing, so I decided to walk it. My first problem was waving goodbye to wee one. I held the scooter with my right hand and waved with my left....only to accidently turn the acceleration grip and the dang thing lunged forward, pulling me behind it. I quickly got control of the situation however, and recouped, pulling a PeeWee....(I meant to do that!) I decided not to ride it, but walk it home and stopped to chat with one of the other mom's for a sec. I was getting ready to go when I put both hands on the bars and once again turned the power....this time the front wheel popped up and the entire scooter became vertical. I froze for a moment, holding it there praying it would stop moving....and then realized I needed to release my grip. I got the thing back down and this time, turned off the power switch. We had a laugh at that one and I decided I had had enough and went on my way. I did turn it back on and ride it down the street....at a very slow pace. It's pretty cool actually, once you get the hang of it. Anyway, it's parked safely in the garage, awaiting it's true owner.
So, I decided to finish my cleaning today....it's 3:24 and I'm still not done! Dang it. I have been slacking today. But I've done good on my eating. I tried my new low carb Slim Fast....ummmm, a word to the wise, don't ever, under ANY circumstance try this....it is HORRID! Oh man, worse than horrid....just plain disgusting! I like the regular stuff, but this was nasty. So, I decided to go back to weight watchers. No crazy food, I can eat fruit....I think that is the way to go.
Okay, it's time to finish cleaning....I just love this freaking computer though....I LOVE it! Love, love, love, loveeeeeeeeeeeee it! I had to name it too. I went for a name that makes me think of happy things and reminds me of my kids....care to take a guess?

Woo-hoo on the new computer arriving!!!! I am sure you are LOVING IT!! And, thank you for visiting my journal as the first one with the new 'puter! I am so honored! Hee-hee! Sorry Betsy isn't feeling well. Hopefully by tomorrow she will be. I have a subwoofer by the way. Had no clue what it was, but hubby told me to order it with the Dell. Let me tell you something, my entire FLOOR shakes when I listen to music with it! I am listening to the "Phantom of the Opera" soundtrack and the entire floor and walls are shaking, especially with the Overture! It is so much fun! :)
Hugs and love, Lisa

Do you have any idea what fruit tastes like in New York in the winter? ugggg it's like 10 dollars for a tomato or an orange and it's gross. Or how about rotten artichokes a buck a piece. Whatever...there is no fresh anything for us till about June.
I want hubby to take a pic of you riding the scooter. I have it pictured in my mind but I gotta see. I'm so glad the boys were jealous of weeone that means alot. Enjoy that computer. Wish I had a subwoofer..I do on the dvd player but my little cat disconnected it when she went and squeezed behind the tv and hubby never hooked it back up. Enjoy the stuff...stuff is cool
woooooooohooooooooo and welcome to the new computer are you naming her? The scooter story so reminded me of my mum and when I got my first moped. I will share that story soon.........Jules xxxxx
