I had no intention of ignoring you, but I did, yet again. The holidays are here, new games arrived, I suck at being consistent. Deal with it. I should make a resolution to try and pay attention to this thing next year, maybe partake in the post every day or die trying thing… nah……

It does not mean that I have no brain when it comes to hardware. If I walk into your little local computer store to purchase a new power supply (because you are local and I would like to give you my business rather than going 12 miles down the road to the big blue building with the yellow tag) Please have the courtesy to speak quietly when you take my dead power supply to the guy in the back and ask him to test it because “she says it doesn’t work but just make sure.”
Likewise, when I bring in the dead one because it happens to have the nifty tag on the side with the spec on it and you try and downgrade me from a 550w to a 400w with no PCI-E jacks and I tell you that I need those for my graphic card, do not tell me that I really don’t need to plug all that stuff in.
I’m going to go play games now, on my totally plugged in machine with some extra juice this morning.

Halloween was a bust…
Comments OffIt rained here all day and into the night. We had maybe a total of 5 cars of parents driving kids around in the damp and we were done and turned off the lights at 8pm. The problem lies in that we normally get a ton of kids, and with it being a Saturday, I planned for more than usual. I have a ton of candy here now and need a way to get rid of it. The husband is taking some to work to leave with reception, and I’m looking at giving the rest away somehow.
On another note, the kid’s phone is dying. I’m trying to weigh the option of shifting to Verizon but to move just a single account is going to cost me more than keeping him attached to my current Tmobile plan until the other two phone contracts are up. I love Tmobile, but there are some coverage issues around the area, as well as losing all connection when I visit my brother. Not sure what we’re going to do on this one yet…I’ll figure it out.

**Thanks for the comments, all are given out.
The advantage of having a total geek for a husband is that he got in on the first group of people in the developer sandbox when wave opened. I had to wait two weeks to get my invite from him. It looks like they’re running this the same way as the early Gmail invites, so I find myself with a few extras that I can give away.
So here’s the deal. Leave me a comment, giving me the best reason why you should get a wave invite and I’ll randomly pick one person each day until my invites run out. This will require you using a valid email in the comment form so I have a way of contacting you. (people should know that, but as a mom, I have the need to state the obvious sometimes.) I believe I have around 10 to give out as of today.
When the invites arrive, you can start with this wave (This link is a wave, if you don’t have access you can check their site here as well). That’s Everything’s Shiny, the resource my hubby put together, it’s got all the basic questions and a load of information to get you started. Go there even if I didn’t send you an invite and you have access to waves, because there are a bunch of cool people there figuring out how this stuff works.

I think I need one to recover now. Driving 7 hours and turning around and having to go back out sucks…. I’ll be better tomorrow when life goes back to normal around here.
