Now that I've finally set up my Blog Page, as to how often I'll get back to it? Well, that all depends on how hard I have to wrestle my kids for control of the mouse and keyboard! Come to think of it, now that the girls are finished school, they aren't in bed until well after 2 am, which means ... they sleep until Noon! As long as I'm out of bed by 8 am, I should be able to get 4 hours of quality, uninterrupted computer time in, before they're feet hit the floor!
There's nothing worse than feeling your 13-year-old's warm breath on the back of your neck as you type. Or, better yet, have her perform something similar to the 'pee pee dance' nearby, just because she wants to sign in to Messenger, 'hang' and IM with all the friends who have now fled the streets, and taken up residence behind the family computer.
Sadly, we only have one computer at present. It is obvious we need at least 1 more computer. I recently considered mortgaging a laptop and desktop package from MDG (for less than a dollar a day!), but having just purchased a new, used car (that has two more payments on it), I think I'll put that buy on the back burner, for now. Maybe I'll be able to save some cash through the Summer and buy the new computers just before the girls return to school. That would be pretty 'kewl', especially if I didn't have to finance the purchase at all.
One of my sisters is convinced there are 3 books inside me, just waiting to be written. She likes the way I tell a story and thinks others would enjoy reading what I've written. With a laptop of my own I could travel about, able to write whenever the whim strikes. My memory is not what it used to be, so it would be great to be able to start typing as the thoughts came to mind.
Yet another sister showed me the 'reconditioned' laptop she bought for $300.00. It's a snappy little Dell unit with more memory than my desktop machine. And, by the look of it, its in great shape, but it only comes with a 90-Day warranty. While that may work for me, knowing the way my kids handle electronics (cell phones, game boys, etc.), I don't know it would be such a good idea to buy them 'reconditioned' laptops, only to have to replace them 3 months down the road!
I'll just have to play this by ear for the time being.
