Well, I bit the bullet and have ordered a new computer from Dell.com and I feel sick AND excited about it. Is that weird? I'm sick because I have put my husband and me into debt for almost 1700 hundred bucks but I'm excited because it most definitely will be the coolest computer I have ever owned.
First being in debt. Sheesh I CANT STAND IT! I hate being in debt to anyone or anything. Because that makes me a slave to that debt. I can understand being in debt for a house or a car, but none the less it makes me sick and it still does when we have to get a car or once in a blue moon- buy furniture. EEK! So, I will be scrounging around trying to find extra money to pay this computer off as soon as possible. It definitely is a sense of freedom when you pay something off. I know when we finished paying for our house, it was a giddy feeling knowing that finally our home was ours. Not the banks and ours, but JUST OURS! Well really that isn't true, because as long as we live we will have to pay property taxes on our home but that is another RANT blog, so I just won't get into it.
Now, let me tell you about my new laptop. 4 gig of Ram (W00T), 320 gig Hard Drive (WOOT), 17 inch screen. It's got lots of other stuff, like BlueTooth compatible and DVD/CD burner, 3 years in home warranty. Lots of stuff. I can't wait to get it. I'll probably receive this new computer before my Gateway from Hell comes back from the factory. Don't know what I'll do with the Gateway, but I'll figure it out.
Anywho, this year's election is just dead awesome. One candidate sticks their foot into their mouth one day and the next day the other candidate does the same thing. It's a down to the wire primary and that kind of makes it exciting, watching Obama and Clinton claw at each other AND hearing people in the Democrat Party telling Hillary she needs to get out of the race and she telling them to KISS OFF. All these candidates, Clinton and McCain, calling Obama an elitest made me laugh out loud! They are ALL ELITESTS. Don't they know that??? I don't think they do and THAT'S the problem with presidential elections. Sigh.
That's all for today. Until next time, Be Blessed.
PS. NEW "LOST" TONIGHT!! WOOHOO!

Laptop Went ZZZZT!
Yesterday while working on my laptop, yeah the laptop I just got back from the factory on Wednesday, went crazy again! I had it on for 40 minutes and the screen went ZZZZT and went black. I tried everything and nothing worked. I called the company AGAIN and of course it's got to be sent back. I just boohooed. I've worked for 2 days putting files and programs back on that thing and now I can't even use it. The laptop is a Gateway and I will never buy one of those again. EVER. I've had more trouble out of this computer than any I have owned. And I've owned, HP's, Dells, Packard Bells, and others.
It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't spent 16 hours putting needed files on there. Oh it makes me so angry. LOL.
And get this--when I called and talked to a service rep. he tried to imply it was MY fault. Like maybe I put something on there that wasn't made for Vista or I hadn't activated my virus protection. Can you believe that? I said "Listen here buddy, I'm no novice when it comes to a computer and I would not put something on there that wasn't approved for Vista." And I wouldn't. He said, "well do your other computer's have Vista on them?" Like I don't know what I'm doing. Boy I got hot under the collar. I told him the only programs I had put on there were my FTP Program, the Weather channel destop, E-sword program, Skype and MSN messenger. I hadn't had time to put anything else on. My concern was getting the webpage files from my webhost back into files onto my computer. Sheesh. This was not my fault! This is just a piss poor made computer!
I'm thinking about just buying another laptop. I hate to do that because this Gateway is new but it's so unreliable and I take care of two websites and they are important, especially my church's website. I just don't know what to do. Geez, I hate going into debt for it and I will have to do that. Sigh!!!
This Gateway from Hell can do just that, Go to Hell. I'm going to write the president of the company. haha. Am I being too upset about this? Do I need to chill? LOL I don't know. But right now I'm not chillin out and I AM upset. Hope I feel different tomorrow.
Ok folks, until next time Be Blessed. Lord Help Me Too!

Finally got my Laptop back!
I finally got my laptop computer back from being repaired. It's been gone almost a month! So, they had to put a new hard drive and a new optical drive in. It seems they worked on my on and off button too because that is working better. Yay! So now the bad part is me trying to put everything I had on the computer before it went wonky back on. Oh I made back up discs but I'm afraid that a virus maybe in there so I'm totally starting from scratch. So yeah, I've probably have a few weeks of work here.
But who cares!! I have my laptop back! I missed it so much! haha.
Wheeeeeee!
Until next time, Be Blessed!

I've Been Tagged
Crazy Rancher's Wife has tagged me. I know her as Lost in Texas because of our love for the TV show LOST and we met on a blog about the show. She's incredibly intelligent and creative and I love to read her blog. So.... she's tagged me and I told her my life is so boring that if I posted about it she would feel sorry for me. hahaaha. Anywho, here goes.....
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1) What was I doing 10 yrs ago?
Ten years ago I was doing the same thing I am doing now, I am a housewife. The year before (11 years ago) I was working at a garment factory (we called it the ole sweat shop) making winter coats. Of course NAFTA was passed and all of our jobs went to Mexico. It makes me so mad when I go to Walmart and see jackets we used to make with the logo Made in Mexico. I would still be working there if the plant hadn't shut down. Not too many jobs in my area and I enjoyed that one even though it really was a sweat shop and I would leave there everyday drenched in sweat to my undies. haha. I enjoyed working with all those women who were just like me. Since that job, I worked some at the post office as a temp on a computer putting bar codes on envelopes. OH SO BORING! It WAS the best paying job I have ever had though. But that job was only temporary for a few weeks a year for two years and so really for the last ten years I have been a stay at home wife and I have loved that also. This year I will be married 31 years. Long time. (See LOSTinTEXAS, I've been married almost as long as you have been alive!)
2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today.
Well since I do not have a little one anymore (my son is 29 years old) I can do whatever the heck I want to do today. It's so lovely really. But... I will definitely wash and fold laundry & cook and wash dishes. I need to dust and vacuum and I may do that if I feel like it. But probably I will stay here on my computer much too long. HA! And then, husband will come home and we will have supper, chat and so forth. I may go to the store after husband comes home. I just don't know. Nothing is written in stone and most of my days are like this. It's good in a way but sometimes I wish I had a schedule. I guess it's all how I look at it really.
3) Snacks I enjoy:
Is there a snack I do not like? Sheesh. Anything chocolate, but I have gotten myself hooked on Jujyfruits and at the moment they are definitely my favorite snack. I love them. TOO MUCH! Since my husband and I both are in dire need to lose weight, I should stay away from all snacks. We both need to. IT'S SO HARD!
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Well I can not fathom me ever having money, but if I did I would tithe 10 percent to my church. Yes, we are tithers. I totally believe in it and it's important to both my husband and me. Secondly, I would have to take care of each and every member of my family on both sides. No one in my family has money and most of us live one pay check to another. If I was a billionaire, taking care of them would give me the greatest pleasure in the world. Thirdly, I would also like to bring jobs to the area I live. We would start some kind of factory or something that would give people a good job with a good wage. That would make me happy. And for my own pleasure I would start something like a play house or something like that. I love plays and the arts. I love creative activities and things and I would like to have a place people could come that offered lessons in painting, writing, scrapbooking, theater, quilting and sewing, anything artistic. If I were a billionaire I wouldn't have to worry about it being profitable, it would just be for fun and learning. Finally my husband and I live very modestly. We don't need a load of money, but I would like to not have to worry about the future, which I do.
5) Three of my bad habits:
Oh I procrastinate also. I'm terrible about it. For example I need to start spring cleaning, I talk about it every day but haven't started yet. Of course along with procrastination is laziness. I'm lazy about things that need to be done, but if it's something I love to do, I can work at it for hours upon hours. I'm a worrier. I worry about the silliest of things and of course about important things. I worry about things I have absolutely no control over, but still worry about it. It's a sickness really. HA! I do not take care of myself. I need to lose weight, get more rest, excercise and all the stuff I should do but do not. I think I'm a mess! haha! One bad habit I finally kicked was smoking. I smoked for 31 years and I have been quit for 4 years so I am proud of myself for that. It is a disgusting filthy habit and the bad thing about it is, you know it's bad for you but its a powerful little thing. And until you stop smoking you do not realize how awful it smells. I could never smoke again because it stinks so bad. It totally turns me off and to think I probably offended so many people with my stinky smoking. I didn't have a clue. I guess I'm dense.
6) 5 places I have lived:
Most of my life I have lived here in Southern WV. I was born and raised here and I do not want to live any other place. My son doesn't understand this and I really can't either but that's how I feel. I'm not good with change. I have lived for a few months, not years in: Tulsa, OK. Alexandria, VA. Atlanta, GA. The longest being about 7 months in GA. As you can see all of these were cities and I hated every single place. Tulsa- too flat, there are tornados and did I mention there are tornados. I have never been so scared in my life. Alexandria- too city slickerish. Everyone seemed on a high horse and I was a country pumpkin to them. I was a like a fish out of water. Atlanta- well, it was so hot, and the time I spent down there (around 12 years of age) they were still fighting the civil war it seemed to me. It was just wildly different than what I was used to. It's been 34 years since I have lived anywhere else but WV and I know things have changed so much in each of these cities. Not much has changed here. That's why I like it. I'm a country girl. I don't like the concrete jungles and I hope I will never live in one again.
7) 5 jobs I have had:
The first job I ever had was working in my mother's little fabric shop in our little town. My mother gave me a love for fabrics and sewing and I love to quilt and embroider still, but carpel tunnel has about stopped me from doing these things I love. I've been a waitress at the Dairy Queen. I've worked in a deli at the local grocery store. As mentioned earlier I worked in a garment factory and I have worked for the Post Office for a bit. I have a non paying job that I do take pride in and that is being the webmaster for my church's website. It's fun to do and the members of my church seem to enjoy it alot. I think of it as a little ministry for my home church.
The best job I ever had was being a mother. Children are so important and they didn't ask to be born and I feel if it is at all possible one parent should stay home to be there for their little one. I miss those days when my son was under my feet. There are times I wish I could go back to those days because I feel like they were some of the best days of my life. I miss my son needing me like he used to. These days are good though and my job now is just being a house wife. I don't really think that is a job though. And it's all good.
8) 5 bloggers that I wanna know more about:
Well, LostinTexas, I do not know many bloggers. Just you and Ana from the Lost Diary. Blogging is new to me so I'm sure there are many new friends I will meet, I will just have to start venturing out there more. Thanks for tagging me. It was fun answering the questions even though I haven't had the exciting and different life you have had. You are still young and have that little one there with you. Cherish each and every day you have with him.
So until next time, Be Blessed.

Barack Obama's Speech
Other than the "I Have A Dream" speech given by Dr. Martin Luther King, Barack Obama has given the best speech on race relations I have ever heard. It was exciting, moving and in my opinion truthful.
Of course this speech sprang from the uproar Barack Obama's pastor has caused by his hate mongering of America from behind the pulpit and the consequences to Obama's presidential bid.
Right before the speech I was talking to my son about this mess Obama finds himself in because of the hate speech of his pastor, his friend, and his confidant. I told my son that I hated to see Mr. Obama lose the Democratic nomination race because of something he didn't say and my son agreed because he is a strong Obama supporter. I talked about my feelings about race relations and prejudice and I told him that as a white woman I had never oppressed anyone, that I felt blacks have had just as much opportunity as I have had and so forth. But I also said that unfortunately there was prejudice in my own family regarding blacks and people of color, and it's shameful. Of course he agreed, because that is how most families are, both black and white. I was hoping Mr. Obama would explain his relationship with his pastor and why white America should still vote for him.
The speech totally blew me away, because many of the things I said to my son were addressed by Mr. Obama. Obama said he could no more disown his pastor than he could disown the Black race out of his life, that these people are a part of him. I feel the same way about my own family, they are a part of me and although I DO NOT agree with them I could never block them out of my life. Mr. Obama talked about how middle class whites feel like nothing was ever given to them, that they worked hard to get everything they had and that is definitely how I feel. My entire family has worked like dogs to get what little they have. And it is DARN little!
I agree this country has faults and I agree that the hardships blacks have had to endure have been terrible. But I also think that so much has been accomplished along the lines of race relations. Things AREN'T like they were 30 or 40 years ago. No, things aren't perfect, not by a long shot, but things are not like Rev. Wright regurgitates. Yes, we need to talk about it but Rev. Wright's hate speech directed toward America and it's white population only makes the rift between whites and blacks broader. And that's a shame. It does nothing to help and only hurts 50 years of progress.
So, did Barack Obama pull himself out of the fire? In my opinion, I think he did. Will all of this controversy go away? No, it will not- because that is the nature of 24 hour news channels. The news media will not stop talking about it- not until the "next big story" comes along. But what can WE, the real America, do about it? We can judge a man or woman on what they say and do and NOT on the color of their skin. Wouldn't Martin Luther King be proud if we did.
Until next time, Be blessed!

Computer Problems
I haven't blogged in a about a week and the problem is my computer. I'm having problems with my 10 month old Gateway computer!!! I'm going to send it back to Gateway tomorrow for them to repair. It is totally bumming me out because first of all, this Gateway is ONLY 10 months old!! Secondly it is my only computer downstairs and the one I use the most. I do have a big ole Dell desktop upstairs so that's good. The bad part about that is I try my best not to go upstairs that often. haha
Why? About a year and a half ago I fell from the top of my steps to the bottom and broke a couple of ribs AND my left ankle on both sides, the tibia and the fibula. To be honest, I thought I had killed myself. In fact, that was my thought as I fell down those steps-- well, this is it, you've killed yourself. The paramedics told me when they came with the ambulance that because I am well padded and the steps were padded I was very lucky my injuries weren't worse. I had to have surgery and the surgery became infected and I was bedfast for almost 3 or 4 months because I was not allowed up on my foot. Anywho, I'm better now and my ankle is healed, thank God. I do have a bad limp and everyday, I know I have had a broken ankle. (I came very close to losing that foot and I do thank the Lord that I did not lose it, so thank you God again!)
I do not go upstairs except maybe a couple times a week. Isn't that sad? I am afraid of falling down the steps, still yet. My husband put an extra rail up for me so I have two rails to grab onto when I walk up or down them, but still I am very wary of going up and down the steps. (To be honest, I have always been wary of going up and down any steps) So... I go up there 2 or 3 times a week, to wash clothes and so forth. NOW, I'm going to have to go up there more because I do not think I can go days and days without the computer. I would miss it so. I tell myself it would be good for me to go up those steps more and I know it would... but...sigh.
I'll quit feeling sorry for myself right now! LOL. Ok, I'm so spoiled and I'm a major whiner too, I guess.
OH, Lost was just ok this past week, not the blockbuster of last week, but it was pretty good. I knew not to expect two blockbuster episodes two weeks in a row! I DO have HIGH expectations for this week's show.
Until next time, Be Blessed.

I had to have surgery and the surgery became infected and I was bedfast for almost 3 or 4 months because I was not allowed up on my foot. Anywho, I'm better now and my ankle is healed, thank God. I do have a bad limp and everyday, I know I have had a broken ankle. (I came very close to losing that foot and I do thank the Lord that I did not lose it, so thank you God again!)
I do not go upstairs except maybe a couple times a week. Isn't that sad? I am afraid of falling down the steps, still yet. My husband put an extra rail up for me so I have two rails to grab onto when I walk up or down them, but still I am very wary of going up and down the steps. (To be honest, I have always been wary of going up and down any steps) So... I go up there 2 or 3 times a week, to wash clothes and so forth. NOW, I'm going to have to go up there more because I do not think I can go days and days without the computer. I would miss it so. I tell myself it would be good for me to go up those steps more and I know it would... but...sigh.
I'll quit feeling sorry for myself right now! LOL. Ok, I'm so spoiled and I'm a major whiner too, I guess.
OH, Lost was just ok this past week, not the blockbuster of last week, but it was pretty good. I knew not to expect two blockbuster episodes two weeks in a row! I DO have HIGH expectations for this week's show.
Until next time, Be Blessed.
