It’s been spring break and I’ve been doing nothing with the family…lol  Ethan and Robert both went fishing - although not together.  Ethan went with my dad and Robert went with his best friend’s family.  They both came back sunburned and without any fish…lol

I’m loving my phone; however, I can’t do all the stuff I want without hacking the phone.  I’m seriously considering doing this, but I’m afraid of voiding the warranty. =/  Why do they limit you on stuff you’re phone’s capable of doing?  Grrrr.  The good news is that the memo section on this phone holds more than my old phone so I can actually do mini blogs in that if I want…but the word program requires me to hack the phone. =(  After seeing my phone and playing with it, one of our pharmacists went and got the same phone…lol

I’m going to have to take pics of the puppies and post them this weekend.  They’re getting so cute.  One of them has discovered it can bark, but the other two are still silent other than growls that sound like purrs….lol  I love my Valentine camera too btw.  15x optical zoom rocks!!  It’s a Nikon CollPix L100.  It didn’t get super reviews there; however, it’s the one I liked (go go zoom) and doing exactly what I wanted it for…plus it was on clearance and a display so Robert got it, a memory card, batteries, and the extended replacement warranty all for under $200.  A great Valentines gift if you ask me.=)

Be expecting some pics soon as I bought a new printer to go with my new camera and want more family pics around the house!!!

For about a month now, when I boot up my computer, it comes up in presentation mode and all my desktop icons go byebye.  I would have to manually turn off presentation mode and then clicky the desktop, change the view, unclick the view desktop icons and reclick it in order to get them back.  I kept searching for a fix, but the only fix I found was to restore to an earlier point in time….and unfortunately, I had no restore point. =(  Every day I would search trying to find another fix without restoring vista.  FINALLY (at 4:45 this morning) I found one a blog where someone had noticed their power mode was changed to quiet mode.  Sure enough, THAT was the culprit!  I changed the power mode and viola!  I’m fixed.  *CHEERS*  Now I feel for all those people that restored needlessly….and now I’ll create a restore point of my own…LOL

I ordered a new usb cord off ebay.  It came in the mail; however, I left it in my car when I has some repairs done. (Nothing major, just some vacuum hose thingies replaced.) I finally got my car back and remembered to bring it into the house (the cord, not the car).  Not two days after downloading all my pics and stuff, I was in the living room watching a movie (Kill Bill on our new Blu Ray - to my surprise, I loved the movie!), when one of the doggies decided they wanted to eat my phone.  I’m not sure which little beast did it, but I’m thinking of having a mold made of their teeth just so I can find out!!!  There were bitten buttons all over the bed and the screen was sopping wet with doggie drool.  =(  I ordered a new phone - a samsung solstice.  If I don’t like it, I can return it in 30 days; however, for a not smart phone (I’m too cheap to pay the $30 a month for a data plan), it seems to have a lot of apps and features.  We’ll see…
