first up … my laptop. last sunday night i ordered myself some new memory … and it was here by wednesday. alyssa’s dad installed it for me this afternoon. i won’t even humor you with how little memory my laptop had up until today … it was tiny. i am now sporting 2 gigabytes of memory … and am amazed at how quickly everything is moving. there’s 2 ways of looking at this. number one … i’m super excited that everything is so fast and running at top speed. but then again there is number two … kind of mad that i have spent all this time putting up with something that was sooooo slow. lol! too bad i didn’t know better … and didn’t realize sooner that the memory could be my problem. things were slow … but i just thought it was normal. and the fact that all this only cost me $42.00 total … even more amazing!
guess what has come out of this super fast computer just tonight? in only 2 hours time … i have my entire 2005 blog book ready to go. granted, i only had 7 months worth of blogging since that was my first year. but it only took me about 2 hours to upload the entries, go through them and edit the page designs, arrange the photos, and get everything alligned on the pages. all i have left is the cover … and only because i’ll have to dig out some photos for it off my external harddrive. 94 pages total … ready to go. i’m sorry … how long did the other book take me?!?! lol! i can’t wait to pull up 2006 and knock that one out too … will be nice to have all 3 books done and complete.
then there is this little piece of heaven! i’ve always thought that it wasn’t something i needed. and now that i have it … i’m not sure how i lived without it! to be able to listen to whatever i want … in whatever order i want? and not to have to get up and switch cd’s in the cd player … or spend my time trying to figure out why the music is only coming out of one speaker … or why it doesn’t want to play that day? amazing! i’ve got a ton of my cd’s all loaded up … but i still have a bunch to go through. i think right now i have about 300 songs on there … not even a dent.
although it appears that it has been stuck on brooke white’s songs … the 3 that i downloaded off itunes last week. "love it a battlefield", "let it be", and "every breath you take" … love her versions of them. love her voice … and love when it’s her and the piano. makes me want to get back in there and see if i can still play the piano … i like to think all my years of playing would come rushing back to me. lol! so yeah, the 3 songs have just kept playing and playing. i’m funny that way … i can listen to the same songs over and over and over. and guess what … sarah’s the same way. she’ll listen to a song about 30 times in a row … drives alyssa crazy!
