Hi there…

…I just got home from work and I thought that I would pop in and say hello. I know that I’ve been rare this weekend but I’ve been extremely tired lately. I guess it’s the tumor. It hadn’t been really effecting me up until now. I felt a tad on the ill side all weekend. On top of that, I think that I actually caught the kitten’s cold.

Oh, did I tell you that the cat’s vet bill, with medicines and a feline leukemia test all came to $120? I had to give the cat the medicine, for that much cash you'd think they'd give the cat a shot, just to save me from being shredded by those razor sharp kitty claws. When I heard that...I was provoked into persnicketiness. Persnicketiness is sort of like PMS, only not as severe. With persnicketiness, you can walk away from a fight and still go on to have a somewhat nice day. With PMS, it’s not going to happen. Anyway, I spent a lot of money on the cat with no name.

You know, I haven’t had any time to play with this computer too much…I bet there's a lot of stuff that I'm totally ignorant of. So, tell me...what do these computers do? I bet if I try, I can find a way to make music play...I’ll find something, even if it’s just the songs on an online record shop. But…if you guys know of a better way, please let me know! I’ll be right back I have to see if I can find ANYTHING to listen to. It’s 2:38 EST AND I’LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES. If there’s anyone out there, I’d appreciate it if you left, in the comments thingie...a way to listen to music online, Thanks…I’ll be back in a few minutes.

OK...it's been a few hours but I'm back. I was trying to get music to play. I must have been blocked out of Limewire...it just kept taking me to one of my security sites. I don't know why and I don't know what I could do to stop it. Anyway, when I finally gave up, I tried to do the ones at Amazon...you used to be able to listen to the entire song, now you only gert a snippet. So, the stream thing came just in time. I'm signed up to a free thing called XM Radio Online. I found a 70's station and I'm lsitening to that...so thanks you guys...I have music!

I wouldn't have dared tried this crap with my old computer. It probably would have exploded. I still have to get some stuff off of that thing....I was in such a big hurry to set this one up that I didn't save the stuff off of the old one. I still have it...it sat on the kitchen floor for a couple days before I came up with a place to put it. I think I'm ging to start throwing things away big time. I have stuff up in the attic that's been accumulating for 10 years. I need to send Rick his stuff and see if there's anything that I HAVE to have. I doubt it, it's been 10 years and I haven't missed it yet. Of course, last year my Christmas tree did come up missing...but I needed a new tree anyway. The sad part was that I lost all of my ornaments. I had been collecting them since the kids were little...and from all over the world. I think my son had to have thrown it all away but he denies it. There really isn't any other explanation. It's like the kitchen curtains only with the Christmas stuff, I don't think he knew what was going on. But...I certainly think there's a story behind the disappearance of my kitchen curtains.

Southern Nights is playing now...I haven't heard that in ions. Hearing the music makes me wonder what else I'm missing. Can I watch TV on this thing? What else does it do? I want to watch movies...can I do that? I got this great high definition screen and I want to use it. Now there's a good old Paul Simon song...My Little Town. I had that album.

Damn...it's getting light out. I think that I should probably go to sleep now. OK...that's what I'm gonna do then. If you guys can think of anything else that I can do with a brand new computer...could you please let me know?

Oh! Thanks for the music!

Meg
