Ok... I may have mentioned this on this blog before... but way back I signed up on Blingo.com, it is a search engine that uses the power of Google with an added perk: you can win things.
Well I have been using it for awhile as my primary search engine and hadn't won anything, so I was surprised when a screen popped up saying I had won either $50 or $50 to amazon.com!!!
Yeah!
Funny thing, I had just bought a Magic Bullet mixer the other week and Nick didn't want me to keep it... I had been trying to figure out a way to convince him to let me.. well guess how much it was? $50!!! So I am keeping it!
C-Ya!!

Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to the man I made a Father. And to my Father. And all the other Fathers out there. I hope today you can enjoy whatever you may want to do.
We started out Father's Day last night, going to dinner with my parents at Red Lobster. Jeffrey tried crab for the first time and loved it.
(Samantha got her usual - chicken fingers). And we all waited and waited for Nick to finish the Ultimate Feast w/ an extra helping of crab legs.
Here is the proud Papas w/ Jeffrey & Samantha
And here is me w/ my parents and my kids (had to get a pic of me in somewhere)
Today we slept in because we went to church last night.. got up as we wanted and Nick opened his cards plus his certificate of appreciation (which listed his gifts because I wanted him to pick them out and I am waiting on one gift to come in the mail). We have been outside doing stuff and we will see what the rest of the day entails.
Again, Happy Father's Day
C-Ya!

I'm wireless!
Ok... so I am sitting here on a Monday... watching the NASCAR race that I am taping for Nick because it was rained out yesterday... and I get to also be on the computer... because I am wireless.
I know some of my online friends will enjoy this and so I thought I would post!!
On Wednesday, May 23 my new Dell 1505 laptop was delivered... this is the story...
I knew that morning that there was a big chance I would get my new toy.. even though they originally said delivery was going to be on Thursday. But I had no time estimate.. except probably in the afternoon.
So in the morning I decided that the kids and I would play in the front (because you never know)... Jeffrey happened to take my picture
Well we ended up going inside - possibly to have lunch, and about an hour or so later, I saw this in my driveway
This is what he delivered to me
So of course I had to open it up right away.. and this is what I found
And I have been enjoying it... I love being able to be on the computer on the couch or on the bed... and we took it with up north (though we have taken Nick's laptop in the past).. and pretty soon we are going to take a bunch of stuff out of the kitchen that we don't need upstairs.
I just had a couple hang ups with holding a wireless signal and getting it to print... but I am not complaining.
