Let me start this blog with the statement to the vast unknown...."How in the heck did I drive an 84 passenger school bus full of screaming kids, everyday....and enjoy it???"
With that said, let me tell you that I am sitting at McDonalds on Clark Lane in Columbia in the play area. I resorted to putting my earphones in and turning my music up to drown out the noise level - didn't work!! I came here because I need to finish a download on my ITunes and since we have a slow internet connection at home, I am always looking for a WIFI joint to finish these that I start at home. I told Alayna that I was going to go to McDonalds to work on my computer, and of course this means playland. I know, I should not have said anything and went to Panera's to do this...but she has been good today and needed to burn some energy. She is having a blast (and I am having Vicodin!).
Yesterday I decided to take a half-day of vacation to go see the Geek Squad at Best Buy about my computer. I have a 3 year service plan and am having issues with my computer. Tom swears it is Vista, but who believes him!! :) They ran a virus scan at first to determine if my issue was a virus. 3o minutes later I returned to my computer doctor to hear that she has a virus and that it would cost $130 - $200 to fix it. I told the guy to get me a report and I would ask Brian or Tom to check it out first. I called Brian who was at work and he told me to bring it out to him and he would look at it. Now, it is 45 minutes to Auxvasse to get to Brian from the west side of Columbia - but my computer begged me to get some help. I dropped my computer off with Bubby and headed back home. About 10 minutes after I left Bubby he called and said that the issue was a program that he had downloaded to my computer to take to Tom and Tom didn't delete it when he was done. I am glad that I didn't pay for that!!! Brian was able to work on my IPOD at the same time as my computer and we are up and running. Bubby is the bomb!!
Last night we went to Booneville to see Tom's parents. We had pictures for them to see that we took last week-end and wanted to see how their home addition was coming along. We had a good visit topped off with a birthday cake for me. What a nice surprise.
Today, I cleaned house while Tom did the "Adopt a Highway cleanup" with work. When he came home he was really tired so we rested while Alayna took a nap. Then it was off to the punkin patch to get 3 punkins for craving. This year Alayna is getting into Halloween and I think it is from school. We have never taken her trick-or-treating, but guess we will have to go this year. Thanks to Uncle Larry and Aunt Gail she is going to a Fairy Princess. They bought a play costume and it fits really well and Alayna think that she wants to wear it. She really looks cute with it on. I can't wait to take a picture of her for them.
My doctors office called on Wednesday and my biopsy was negative. Because of the type of object in my bladder and mom's bladder cancer I have to go back in one year for this again. He said that we need to be really watchful of this spot - that he doesn't like the way it looks.
Well, most of the kids have left and I can finally sit in quiet...I am going to finish my download and then off to Wal-Mart for a few items before going home. Any bets on whether or not Alayna will be asleep when I get home???
