Happy Valentines Day

We arent leaving for our long weekend adventure till early Sunday morning, so I though I would try to empty my current list of thoughts on here while I have a quiet moment. By going sunday and Monday we saved on rates, but we still get to take advantage of the long weekend. I only had to use one vacation day, I get paid for the holiday and I had a birthday holiday to use. So i get a five day while using only one vacation day. Woo Hoo for me.

Yesterday I took my sister to get surgery on her knee.she had a torn cartilage and it was pretty painfull. It wasnt emergency, it was planned. After tey took her into her room, or where ever it was that they took her after they went behind the secureity locked door, I took off to have breakfast at perkos and then went on over ot big Lots. Do they have those stores outside of California? Everything is a discounted price and you can get some really great deal there. I was out of tealight candles so I bought another bag of 144. yes, I will use every one. I bought a new throw rug to replace one of the christmas rugs that I need to replace. I also found a book called 700 Sundays by Billy Crystal. Its about his life, and family and the 700 sundays he had with his dad before he passed away. it was a short read, and I laughed my ass off reading it. if you happen to see it, its worth the few hours it takes to read it.

One of the guys at work was selling chocolate covered straberrys that his wife makes for valentines day. they were 15.00 for 12 so i bought a dozen. we had agreed not to get each other stuff for valentines day cus this weekend was gonna cost so much. I figured this was for both of us, so I could get past that promise. I didnt tell John I bought them. So, this morning when i brough him coffee, I also brought him two strawberries on a plate, Just for him. He was so surprised, and happy. Its really hard to surprise him. So then, I get up and call my sister to see how she is feeling and he comes out and says Close your eyes! What? I finished up the call to sis, and she said she is feeling great, no pain at all and is walking on her leg. So then I close my eyes, and put out my hand and viola, a heart shaped box of Lindor truffles and a card appear there. It was one of those musical cards. John Likes those. I was so surprised! We both broke our promise, but not too extreme. now we have plenty of yummy chocolate to take with us.

i have a question and a problem maybe one of you could help me with. latley, when i log on to multiply, they make me log on. I have never had to do this before. I would just click the link on my favorites list and it would take me here. is this happening to everyone or did I change some setting and not realise it.

Now for the problem. the battery in my laptop wont come out. I took it to the shop, and they dont want ot touch it. I dont know what i could have done the last time i took it out and put it back. has this happened to any of you and if it did, how did you fix it. I always run on electricty with my lappy, cus the battery wont last more than ten or fifteen minutes. I would take it out and buy a new one, but i cant get the old one out.

well, i could go on with a few other things, but i dont like to go on so long here. I know i should go catch up on a few of your pages too. I may not be back till after we get back, unless I take my lappy with me. I probably will. Well, see ya all later. Hope your Valentines day and long weekend is fun.

  1. its been happening to me sometimes too - so I guess it's just a change in the way they do things. You are right that you need a new battery - I'd go ahead and order the new one - take a look at it and you can probably figure out what is "stuck" keeping the old one from coming out - it's probably some sort of tab - and if the old battery is no good........then even if you break it - no harm done.

    Remind me what model laptop you have - maybe there are instructions somewhere on the internet.
