My New IMAC!!

My Computer blew up and when I say BLEW UP, thats an understatement. Last Tuesday I was in the other room while wade was in the living room working away on his lab top when I heard all this beeping, buzzing , and screeching. I thought it was one of Wades Tests he was running, since he is working from home remotely and is running tests on routers over his lap top I thought oh my gosh there must be a real bug. After a few minutes I came into the living room and said to wade " How long is this testing procedure going to last?".

Needless to say I did not find him in the living room but in our computer knick next our computer that was going CRAZY. We finally got it shut down, but after that it never come back on, the mother board totally went out. I guess our little computer did us well, it was a wedding gift to us from Wades parents and lasted a good 7 and a half years.

But I do have to say I am totally in love with it's replacement. A 24 inch IMAC, and everything is totally wireless. Since the new I Macs can run 2 operating systems mac os and Windows, and Cisco gets a GREAT discount, I was sold.

I was able to look at Wades lab top for a week, while ours was being shipped ,but I was so happy to hear the Fed Ex man at our door with my new toy!! P.S.- Thank you apple for messing up and sending it 2 day delivery for free instead of standard!!

We have gotten out a little and done some more site seeing, we found that we are a lot closer to Dallas than we thought about 15 minutes. We went and checked out the Galleria shopping center and boy is it fancy, and big, 4 storys including the ice rink. Ice rinks in malls must be very popular here in Texas because the mall right next to us also has one.

I saw an article in the news paper that read Happy Hallowthanksmas!! That is about right these day's the retailers get so excited about the pending holiday season that they seem to be jumping the gun earlier and earlier every year. One of our malls here in Texas already had x-mas decorations up and hanging in the mall a week ago, their not even wait for after Halloween Now. Sad I want to relax and enjoy the special molments,fun, and spirit that each of these holidays represents.

Holidays!!

October has arrived and the Fun of up coming Holidays has begun. I always love this time of year, and what a fun way to kick it off with Treat-or-Treater's, Holiday decorations, and pumpkin carving!!

Last year me and Wade had a fun time carving our pumpkin we made it nice and scary and then hung comb webs and spiders all over our front porch!! But or decorations did not stand a chance to those in the Los Gatos Neighborhood . I have never had so much fun as the 2 years we went to down town Los Gatos on Halloween. About 2 blocks from down town they block of sections of streets and have a a block party. They must spend tons of $$$ Money on Decorations and candy "I mean these houses are all decked out with fog machines, live disco and dance floor lining the drive ways, and all sorts of high tech electronic gadgets . Its a ball to see kids and adults alike all decked out in costumes " Doing the Monster Mash"..

Were going to have to find a new happening spot to have a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween this year! I've already talked Wade into buying me a yummy caramel apple for my Halloween treat, (They have a rocky mountain chocolate factory down the road) the only hard part is deciding which one I will choose!!

So does any one have any fun and frightening plans for Halloween?? (Except eating goodies, and getting a tummy ache..) P.S. a little tid bit about Wade the first year we were married I bought like 4 bags of candy bars several weeks before, on Halloween day I got in the cupboard to get them out and the were all GONE except 4 little bars!!!

Get the party started!!

So my house is suppose to be started any week, So I keep thinking to myself get the party started already!! There is just tons of new construction and homes being built in the area, and trying to get the city of Frisco building permit takes forever when everyone under the SUN is trying to get one.

I think that I am loving this area more and more everyday!! First of all I am totally in love with the weather here it has been 95 degrees with humidity, what a way to ring in October!! I saw the forecast for the next week and it is Fabulous no rain and in the upper 90's all week long, only getting down to the low of 74 at night!! I know people laugh at me because I am still always cold wearing jackets and sweaters, but hey these people love the AC like I have previously posted.

Second thing in the running is we took a nice little Sunday drive in Wade's new commuter car, A new Honda Civic Ex which gets 30 to 40 miles per gallon!! Third the Gas price's $2.08 a gallon, and fourth the Dallas temple is only 17 minutes from our house, which is so neat to have everything so convenient and close to home.

So my housing prediction is looking about right, they told me 6 to 8 months and I just took that as 8 months!!! So to keep everything on track I am hopping for no April showers and forget about the May flowers!!
