Where the hell have I been?

Busy. That’s where. A lot has happened since my last post.

Firstly, one of my laptops named Viking decided it was time to die a very odd epic death. See he had been acting slower than usual and I did all the normal scans for infections, took off the useless stuff, cleaned out my compressed files. That didn’t work so I asked my dad to give me the format and reinstall disk. Here’s where it gets odd. The format and reinstall didn’t work. We tried it like ten times with two different disk and the computer wouldn’t do it. It read the disk, it just didn’t come back up naked (for lack of better term) like it’s supposed to.

Viking is now in my closet on top of a box. There’s a brand new computer on my desk named Boo. And Boo is full of all kinds of awesome. I’ve had him a little over a month now and love it.
Secondly, I’ve been making lists and itineraries for the trip to Walt Disney World the first part of November. The only one in my immediate family doing so I might add! Sheesh. Mom screws around on facebook and dad does who knows what on his computer. At least I try to be productive.

Lastly, um we had a car get murdered this month. Dad was on his way to work last week when he got hit on the passenger driver side of my 2001 Taurus by a gravel truck. Dad’s fine! He just had minor whiplash (also injured his pride) and the truck driver was fine too, just glad dad wasn’t hurt. Mom was at work and I was off in dream land when this happened, so when dad called me he woke me up… and since it was just after 12-noon I needed to get up, but still! Mom got him and we were told two days later that my car was dead.

Down to one car for those two days was interesting. I called into Macy*s ‘cause we were still running around doing things, mom wanted to go car shopping after everything with the insurance was completely done, and there was no way in hell I was going into work by that hour then having them rush back to get me. No. Just no.

I haven’t been car shopping with my parents in years. I don’t think I’ve been there when they bought a car, I’ve been in several with them. Dad wanted a brand new car since he’s never had one before, mom was cool with that so was I. He asked me if I had any preferences on cars to which I responded “Um, an automatic with oh-shit handles.” I TRIED to drive a stick a few years ago, mom’s Passat is a stick and I ended up flooding the engine. …yeah I fail. The Taurus had no handles on the roof, just the hooks for hangers, which is bad when making sharp turns or slamming on the breaks should you be my passenger.

Anyways, we ended up getting a 2010 Honda Civic. I LOVE THIS CAR! Having a CD player is nice after just listening to tapes me whole driving life… only thing is all my audio books are on tapes…

This is what my last two months have been filled with and why I wasn’t blogging.
There will be a food blog update with real food either later tonight or sometime tomorrow. It will include pictures and my takes on some snacks I bought today at the Sage Market.
