What I have been up to since my last post.

Well it has been quite a while since I last posted anything so I guess I will have to do the old run down. So let see since my last post I have gone through quite a lot of different things. Which have been both fun and draining to say the least.

The year started with a little bit of a shopping trip to buy a new computer for my daughter cause her old one was acting up beyond what I was able to repair which actually was more a job for my son. But unfortunately his passing has put us at more of a loss then we would like to admit. Cause not only was he our family he was our computer tech to go to for most of our problems or when we wanted to know how to do things on the computer. Well as much as I use to think I knew about computers it was nothing compared to what Josh brought to the table. My look on life has always been if it is broke beyond my ability to fix I would just replace.

So that brings us back to being at the store looking for something that would be adequate to replace my daughters computer. Having to do this without really knowing what we were looking for leaves you at the mercy of the salesperson pushing their products, but lucky for us the person that took care of us was very helpful and really answered out questions and led us in the right direction. So after being in the store for quite a long time trying to decide which one we made our decision and just had to wait for all the installation of stuff that once again would of been taken care of by Josh.

We leave the store to go hangout at my house watching movies and stuff until it was time to go back and pick up her computer and then off to take her home and for me it was the most I had ever done on the 1st of Jan. before considering that has usually been dedicated to watching all the college bowl games being played all day long. Ever since my son passed away I have been spending a lot of time with my daughter partly to not be alone and also cause I know that she needs to get out from the house of depression that she has been living in since he died.

I wish I could say that everything else went smooth the rest of the month but unfortunately hers was not the only computer to go on the fritz and as much as I have been told just to use my son's computer I was reluctant cause of the fact that it was his and I didn't want to do anything to ruin it. It is like that computer stored his whole life and I just can't see doing anything to it aside from going on their doing the normal maintenance, like running the virus scan and deleting stuff off of his email accts.

So after work one day I go in there to look at the towers since all I really needed was a new tower for my computer my monitor had already been replaced and still in good condition. After looking at a few towers I settled on one that was a really good computer and had plenty of room for me to grow into it. I am so impressed on how much faster this computer is then my own one which I still have hooked up since I still need to finish transfering stuff over to the new comp.

Finally as expensive as this month has become I finally broke down and went out and replace my phones and modified my phone service to fit my needs less minutes and more texting and unfortunately a data plan that I had to get with one of the phones and well I added it to both phones. So now I have a new comp., new phones and if that wasn't enough I went out and purchased a new Ipod touch which I have to start loading up with music. I already have about 5 movies on there now. Well the rest of the month went by pretty smoothly without another big item purchase.
Boy was that an expensive month.
