Tweaking Out

My laptop was having some "issues" on Saturday, so I ran it down to a repair place down the road and dropped it off. Hopefully, I will have it back today, but until then, I have to borrow Buddy's.

It's sad that I'm having such withdrawals.... LOL.

Much like driving an unfamiliar car, using a different computer takes time to warm up to. This keyboard is different, the touch pad is a bit more sensitive than mine is.

I can't wait to get MINE back. Fingers crossed for today, please!!

This week is Buddy's Spring Break. I get to sleep in just a little bit. We did the grocery shopping yesterday, so really, I think we have the entire week to just refresh and rest.

Every now and then, I enjoy a break in my routine. And, even though it had been raining this morning and is wet outside, the week promises to have decent temperatures so perhaps we'll get an opportunity to play outside at some point. That's always nice, but the Evil Twin hasn't set up my hammock yet. I told him to hold off because I knew it was going to rain.

I am really looking forward to warm, sunny days and cook outs with friends. We do enjoy casual entertaining (i.e. burgers and such on the grill with all the fixins, a few sides and everyone helps themselves - on disposable plates!) All I have to do is prep and enjoy!

We did have Crock Pot Sunday yesterday, but with my computer situation, I didn't get a chance to post the recipe. It was Round Steaks with Garden Vegetables. I'll post the recipe tomorrow. It was tasty and we all (except Sissy) enjoyed it. I hope you all are having a lovely Monday!

  1. Today better be the last day I have to clear snow off my car for a long time. I'm so ready for warm days and some sunshine and wearing shorts.

    And setting up the grill!

  2. Cooking out sounds soooo good. I hope you get your computer back today, too. I'd be insane if I were without mine.

  4. It is dreary and yucky here too. I am working from home until noon and it is so tempting to get back in bed with my book.

    I think I might be doing just that after meeting some friends for lunch.

    i haven't vegged out in one with a glass of lemonaide (doctored up ... ;) ) in a LONG time. YEARS in fact.

    lately i'm lucky if i get to eat a snickers bar while locked in the bathroom.

    such is life.

  6. Jay - I can't believe you still have snow! That's just not right.

    Lady - I called earlier and said I would be picking it up today, regardless. If it's not fixed, I will drive to Best Buy and get something new.

    Cara - The sleeping in is the BEST part!

    Karen - Any time you can relax with a book is quality time as far as I'm concerned!

    Fattie20XL - That's the only way to enjoy a Snickers. ;-) Y'all come visit and sit a spell on my hammock! It's pure heaven!

  10. I am SO lame at using a different computer, its like my inner head injury victim takes over and I can't type or run any of the functions, God knows I'm not good at it with my own, never mind a strange key board!


    Oooo, hammock, YES!
