I'm still here, honest

[mugglechump]

I've been a little scarce this weekend - not like me at all! Fear not, though, I'm not dead. I got a new computer (so did Urs!). I also got the new Sims 2 expansion pack. And I'm a huge geek. 'Nuff said.

I have a high def monitor now. Things look SO pretty (in the land of the Sims). Squee.

I have a 200GB hard drive. Squee.

I am not yet hooked up to our DSL - I have to dial up at the moment. Boo.

I got a new printer/fax/copier/scanner/blender. Er, well, maybe not that last part. That would be nice, though. I haven't hooked it up yet because I'm still using the filing cabinet as a desk. Meh.

In addition to getting the 'bundle' price from Best Buy, I also got a $100 gift card because the model computer I bought is discontinued and I took the one on display.

Now I just have to move my crap off of James' computer and onto this one. We'll both be happy about that.

Oh, I also bought Artemis Fowl 4 & 5. Haven't gotten very far yet. See above RE: Sims 2.

That's all for now. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

I want a new computer.

I would buy you one if I could, sweetie!

*waves* Glad to see you're alive, dear. And I think you should invent the printer/fax/copier/scanner/blender. And perhaps add a coffeemaker. You'd be rich instantly.

*hugs*

*waves enthusiastically back*

Upon further review, it seems my new toy is simply a printer/scanner/copier. It neither blends nor faxes. *le sigh* Coffeemaker, eh? That would be a moneymaker, so long as you could keep the coffee off of your documents. I wouldn't use it myself, though. As much as I adore Starbucks, I never drink coffee at home. I don't even think I have a coffeemaker. Weird, no? For hot beverages at the homestead, I prefer tea or hot Ovaltine with butterscotch Schnapps. Peppermint Schnapps if I'm out of the other.

And wow, completely off topic, I just had a serious wave of vertigo. I hate that.

*just giggles*

I do cocoa and peppermint schnapps sometimes, but that's more of a holiday treat. Mostly I drink tea and coffee at home.

Bummer about the vertigo.

*giggles more* I adore you.

Ooh... the Sims 2 is my crack. But I don't think I should say more, because then I'll start playing it, and will then never complete my paper.

It is TOTAL crack! James had stopped playing it, and planned to uninstall it completely from his machine. Then I started playing the Pets expansion pack and he started waffling. It's not the actual playing that he likes, it's the building houses and people - and now animals. He hasn't given in yet, but he REALLY wants to see if he can make a Sim Picabo (our dog - points to icon).

Ooh goody! I've missed you! We need a brain storm session. We only have one more friggin' day, dear! *stresses*

See?? I am slowly and diligently catching up! :D! I missed a lot in those few days! You got a new computer, too?? wheeeee!! Except I don't know what I'm doing...*sigh*. I have done quite a bit, but I am going to have to rely on my brother this coming weekend...*crosses fingers he comes*. My new monitor came in yesterday. And the new printer is here, too. I just need to get it all set up! :O!!
