Weekend End

Today I hooked my monitor and stuff up to my laptop. Then I realized that I needed a USB keyboard, so off to Best Buy we went. I was going to get a wireless keyboard and mouse ($49), but then I saw a nice $19 USB keyboard, wired, but good enough for what I wanted, so I got that. THEN I picked up a 160 gig external hard drive ($89). I’m backing up all my files now. YAY. This was important to me because I was feeling weird about having all my precious files on one place. Call me paranoid, but after losing two computers within two weeks of each other, I don’t want to take anymore chances.

I mean, I know it’s weird, but I missed writing at my desk. So until I get my desktop computer from Andy, I will probably keep my laptop hooked up here… well, at least until I need to be downstairs with my laptop, like tomorrow, for instance. I’d LOVE a docking station, but I am not sure if they make them for my particular computer. That way I can just plop it on the station and not have to worry about stopping things and unhooking them and stuff. But again, I’ll get my desktop sometime, so I probably won’t even need to do that. We’ll see. πŸ™‚

Fifteen out of forty-nine folders have been copied, and it’s been going for about 90 minutes now. πŸ˜€ I have about 70 gigs of stuff to move over.

Chris is planning a vacation for us. Unfortunately, not Disneyworld. πŸ™ However, it will be the southwest, so I’m okay with that. Vegas (a stripview room in Rio!!), Phoenix, Mexico. Good times. It will be my first time visiting outside of the U.S. I know, sad, isn’t it? I’ve never even been to Canada, not yet anyway. Anyway, can you say BELLAGIO BUFFET??? And fountains, and the malls and pretty stuff and photo ops… YES. Can’t wait. πŸ˜€

Yesterday, I spent the whole day indoors thanks to a poopy scratchy/sore throat. Chris took Aidan to the Air Force Museum, so I got some quality rest in. Then I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Robert Pattison is illegally handsome. πŸ˜€

Today, I found out that Katie reads my LJ, so hi Katie!! ♥ Same to all you “IRL” people who read my journal. Don’t be afraid, come on out and say hi! πŸ˜€

Right now, Aidan is watching Monsters, Inc which I bought today, along with The Parent Trap. I’m looking for Blast from the Past on DVD. I wonder if it’s out. It’s such a cute movie! Okay, I’m being summoned by my little guy. I’m also craving bacon like WHOA but I don’t have any in the house, and I doubt I could convince Chris to go out and get me some. 😑

Anyway, good night!!

Sunday!

I had a very busy weekend. Friday night, I went to Starbucks to listen to Garth and Tim play. THEY SOUNDED AWESOME. I mean, I’m talking, star quality. Tim has the IT FACTOR. I think he could be famous. Afterwards, I stopped over at Josh, Garth and Brian’s to watch Return of the King. Honestly, I was just going for the fellowship. I didn’t give 2 bananas about the movie. (Now is the part where I duck!) I fell asleep on Fellowship, never saw Two Towers, so it really was pointless for me to go and watch ROTK, right? So, when Monica came and told me that my presence had been requested at Kelly’s surprise birthday party, I jumped at the chance. Now, THAT was cool. They had a projector and were showing movies on the back of the house on a sheet. Good times. Headed to Garth’s to hug him goodbye, then came home.

Saturday, we headed to Cleveland to see Mommy. πŸ™‚ It had been a while, so it was time. We all had a really good time. Treated us to yummy, yummy, YUMMY food! I never knew how delicious Ruby Tuesday’s steaks were. πŸ™‚ Then we went to Marc’s. Why is that place awesome? And CHEAP?

After Marc’s, we went back to Mommy’s and just relaxed. You know, she lives right down the street from Geauga Lake, and we passed it a couple of times. It’s really sad how dead that amusement park is. There were very few cars in the lot, and small crowds. On a nice Saturday. What is up with that?

During dinner, the cheese fiasco happened. While the burgers were grilling, Mommy mentioned that she had mozzerella cheese. I got a quick idea and asked if she had tomato sauce. She did. I asked for a pizza burger. So, Chris makes me this pizza burger. I take a bite and realize it’s awfully spicy. Now, no one else has spicy burgers. Then Greg, my stepfather, starts to say HIS sandwich is spicy. Chris SWEARS that he didn’t put pepper or anything on our burgers. But why were they spicy?

Turns out that Chris used PEPPERJACK cheese instead of mozzarella. HOLY banana, that stuff was hot. Once I got that cheese off, the burger was yummy. πŸ˜‰

We drove back home Saturday night, and got in a bit after midnight. I played on the PC, bathed, and slept. Got up for Sunday school and church, which was awesome, of course. After Sunday school, we headed to BW3s for lunch. YUMMMM YUMM YUMMY! That food was so good. Then I hung out at Chad & Christy’s while Chris went to play Frisbee golf with his friends. Then we went to Heidi’s good-bye party. After that, we went to another party thrown by Corey. But Aidan got tired so we only stayed a bit over an hour.

I had a busy and fun day, filled with lots of great people. That always makes me smile. I also took lots of pictures. Will try to have them up by the end of the week.

Well, I have to go to bed now, and get ready for another week of craziness. Night!
