It's Showtime...At Least I Wish It Was.

Yesterday was so-so. It was cloudy and gray all day, then we had storms last night...or, to put it more accurately, some areas to the north and south of us had storms. The supercell that hit Oklahoma City came to our area, but we were spared the worst of it. Today is supposed to be mostly cloudy, and we have a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Our high is supposed to be 85°.

I finally got my Prince CD! :D I absolutely love it! It was well worth every penny I spent and every day I waited for it. I can't wait until I can order the movie on DVD! :)

I didn't get a lot of writing done, as you know if you read my writing progress post. I doubt I'll get much written today, either, but we'll see.

Jeff has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. It's a follow-up to last week's E.R. visit. I'll be going with him, and I plan to take the laptop in case I stay in the waiting room. I probably won't take the device, so won't connect unless there's Wi-fi there.

Speaking of Wi-fi, I'm seriously considering getting rid of AT&T. The device I have keeps reverting back to a connection profile that can't connect. I have to choose the correct profile every time I open the stupid software. On top of that, the connection is lousy a lot of the time. So, I'll be doing more research on other plans and see what I can come up with. If I disappear at some point this month, it's because I've canceled my plan and didn't have time to post about it (though it shouldn't be a problem to post about it first).

Anyway, that's about all that's going on here. We're all alive and well, and I hope you are, too! ;) Hopefully soon, I'll be able to catch up on my F-List.

I'm Back!

Sorry I've been missing in action lately. My desktop PC, which I had out in the living room, got 34 viruses on it in a matter of about two days. I brought it back to the studio and reinstalled Windows XP and some of my software on it.

Then my laptop started having connectivity issues. I backed up all my stuff, then reinstalled Windows Vista and upgraded to Windows 7 again. It seems to be doing better, though my connection is still a bit slow.

I also had to renew my Kaspersky subscription and download the latest version. I haven't installed it on the desktop PC yet. I'll do that when I have time.

I bought a USB sound card from Tiger Direct, too. My sound card stopped working, for some reason, so I'm hoping this will help. It has great reviews, but if it doesn't work, I'm only out $12.99 plus shipping. ;)

So, now that the computer problems are (hopefully) taken care of, I'm back! :D

I posted the two feedbacks I wrote the other day. And you know what? They were perfect! *happy dance* Hopefully, I won't have to go in for jury duty tomorrow and I can write two more tomorrow morning.

This has pretty much been my days lately...just computer stuff. No writing. But I watched Naksha again the other day. Eric and Chelsey were cleaning their room and Josiah crawled into the studio. I picked him up and held him for a while and he fell asleep sometime during Naksha. And Jeff and I watched Strangers and Delhi 6 recently. They were both awesome. I think Strangers was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers On A Train, but it's not exactly a re-make. The story was a bit different, though the premise is the same. It kept us guessing until the very end. It was awesome! And how do I describe Delhi 6? I guess I'd say it's a drama with a little comedy, a little romance, lots of music, culture, self-discovery, and a mystery of sorts. It's one of my favorites, so far. It was very character driven.

I should be getting two more DVDs today, then one or two tomorrow. One was coming later, so they're sending me another one from the top of my queue. I love it when they do that. :)

Anyway, I've got to finish up on here, then do some stuff around the house.

Have a great afternoon and evening!

I'm At Sweet Bay! :D

I've exceeded my bandwidth again, thanks to the Vista fiasco. Thank God I only have today and tomorrow left before the new billing cycle begins! I just hope they don't charge me, because I'll be in huge trouble if they do. :/

Anyway, I'm trying to get as much done from here as I can. At home, I'll work on offline stuff (i.e. transcribing last Thursday's writing to the computer, brainstorming/ outlining the new short story, etc.).

The sun is shining brightly today!!! :D The day started out cloudy, but it cleared up early. I can't see a cloud in the sky!

Well, that's all I've got, so I'd better hurry up and finish everything else before I have to go.

I hope you have a great day and a very happy weekend!
