I wish it were earlier in the day. I'm not ready to say good-bye to my weekend. Two more hours before bedtime, and I know that time's gonna fly. I shouldn't be complaining as it's been a 3 day weekend for me. I got an early start today and headed out to visit with my mom. We went to lunch at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants and were the first customers at 11:00. One good thing about eating so early is you're not too full for dinner at night. I had Crispy Shrimp, rice and broccoli with a starter of Hot and Sour soup. We ran a few errands, then watched some TV on that serious HDTV I've mentioned before. I want one soooooo bad. That will actually segue me to the next topic. Did I spell that right? Electronics. I've wanted more memory for my laptop. From what I understand, memory is like a highway. The bigger the road, the more room cars have to whiz by. I want my computer to go faster. My neighbor and I researched what I needed on the net, and I ordered 1G of RAM from TigerDirect. Guess we messed up because I got desktop memory. I packaged that up and paid shipping and insurance to send it back today. Then I bought what I thought was the right kind from Staples. No, it's slightly off and won't fit. Finally I called Dell, and got the right part number, but the lowest price is more than I want to pay. So, I'll forget about it. I do need to find some way to speed things up. It's fast enough when I'm online, but getting to My Pictures takes forever. I think finding and deleting the videos I've stored will help. I hope. And then there's the TV thing. What does a person actually need in a HDTV? Why are there so many prices for the same size? 1080p or 1080i or 720p or 720i? How many inputs, etc, etc, etc...How does a person make a decision? It's just too confusing. And that's my story on that.

Em asked why I haven't talked about the break up with her boyfriend. I don't know if it will last, and I didn't want to invade her privacy. She said I talk about everything, and it's my blog. Well, it is my blog but I don't talk about everything. I'm very sad for Emily. No parent wants to see their child in pain. Emily has reached out to me, and I have happily been at her beck and call. It was good to have such a busy Saturday and Sunday to help keep her distracted. We have spent serious time together in perfect harmony. Today we even took turns reading 'Eat Pray Love' aloud. (I finally finished the Pray part. I disliked it SO much.) She's upstairs now, on the phone with friends. That's good. The new semester started today. Pre-season training for softball will start soon. New beginnings.

I haven't been on the computer as much as usual. I apologize for not stopping by your blogs as often as I'd like. If I haven't said hi, it's only cause I'm busy, not because I don't care.

Have I mentioned the fabulous Inn I'm going to next Sunday? I'll save that for another day.

Time to get back to the book. Till the next time...
