A musical day at the hospital

by

My husband works at the hospital that’s just down the street from our house and every year the hospital happens to put on an annual Christmas show. My husband, being a very talented musician almost always participates in the musical part of the show.

So for the last two months or so he’s been pulling out one of his gibson guitars and practicing with several other people from work – doctors, nurses and other hospital workers on a few songs that they planned to perform at the Christmas show.

I had thought the show was going to be on Thursday and I was going to go to it, but it was actually today! My husband came home from work this evening and told me all about it. He said everyone seemed enjoy their performance and that someone was video taping so I might be able to catch some of it on the hospitals website.

Kick start the old laptop

by

I have an old HP laptop and I don’t use it very often these days, but the other day I decided to turn it on – you know, to let it update itself and so on and I think it needs a new battery.

Actually it’s very old it needs a lot of things but the least I can do for it is take a look for some hp batteries and see if I can find one that works for that model.

I’d actually love to do an upgrade on that laptop and get it working properly again so I’d have two laptops that I could truly count on, but as I said that laptop that I’m talking about is kind of old and I’m not sure that it’s worth putting too much into it. Hmmm maybe Santa will bring me a new laptop?

So Facebook changed it’s look again

by

So what do you think of the changes to Facebook? I don’t use Facebook all that much, but oddly enough I had started using it more and the last month or two and wouldn’t you know, just as I was getting use to it and getting a feel for it, they went and changed the whole look and feel of the site and well .. I don’t really like it.

Actually the first time I was on when they changed everything they had turned on chat on me and I ended up talking to a lot of people. I normally have chat turned off because I just don’t have a lot of spare time to talk to to people when I’m trying to get work done on the computer or on my sites, but since chat was on by default that day … I ended up talking to people for over an hour before I managed to get out of there!

I talked to some friends and some people that I don’t know all that well about every thing from the recent Facebook site changes to the weather to someone getting car title loans Washington to another friend buying a house and more. I think I’m pretty much caught up! Oh and then the next day Google+ opened up I believe and that was another day of major social interactions on the internet!

So back to my original question – what do you think of the new Facebook? Like it or Hate it?

Getting ready for the long weekend

by

My husbands cousin just dropped by for a visit. He works in a car dealership and repair shop so he’s always driving a new car. Perks of the job. Must be nice, eh!

He was just dropping by for a few minutes to pick something up from our house and check on plans for our big family reunion weekend that’s coming up on Sunday. While he was here he was showing me the latest car that he’s driving. It happens to be an Audi. It’s all supped up – right down to the audi tt custom floor mats that he just got for it. As I said earlier – must be nice!

It seems like every time I talk to someone from my husband family they say they’re going to be at the party on Sunday so I guess it’s going to be quite a big gathering! We’d better get there early to help the in laws! My husband went to their house this past weekend to put up a big outdoor party tent. Hopefully we don’t get any big storms that blow it over before the party!

Wracking my brain trying to fix my laptop

by



Wow, I can’t believe that I’ve spent something like 9 days trying to fix my laptop!


I thought I’d finally figured out what was wrong and fixed it completely two days ago and then I got the black screen of death and audioses.dll error messages. Now I’m working with my old laptop which is slow as molasses, but still faster than my “new” laptop which takes 45 minutes to load. I’ve been trying to fix the audioses.dll driver problem … but if I can’t get it fixed in the next two hours or so I think I’m going to finally give in and wipe the hard drive and re-install windows.

I’m so thankful that I made recovery disks when the new Laptop arrived back in February! I just hope that they work!

Man if I were a drinker (I’m not I’m not!) I think I’d be looking for some effective alcohol rehab treatment centers!

Seriously … I’m surprised that I’m not bald and that I’m still sane after the week I’ve had trying to fix my computer. When my husband came home yesterday after being out of town for three days he asked me how he could help and I told him he could help me roll the car over and over the laptop. Yes at that point I was losing it … but the black screen of death had just made it’s first appearance after I thought I’d fixed the computer once and for all so I think that was understandable.

Wish me luck on fixing the computer!
