Random Tuesday Thoughts

1. As you may know, my laptop's keyboard has seen better days. It had gotten to such a state that I was missing 3 keys and one wasn't on there right. I really hate laptop keyboards! The keys are extremely difficult to put back on and doing so is an exercise in patience. Friday night I decided to look up what could be done about my poor laptop and after doing some research, I decided to check out Ebay and see if I could find a new one. I found one where I could buy it right then and it was priced really well - $18 including tax and it had free shipping. So, I was sold.

When I got home from my class today, my husband had a surprise for me. He had installed the new keyboard (I was all prepared to spend some time doing this at some point this week). He figured he would surprise me since I was not here when it came. What a sweet husband I have. One less thing I have to do.

2. It is going to be a very busy evening. I got home a little after 3 from my class. Now we are all just getting around because I have an appointment at the library at 5 and at 5:15 baseball practice starts. I am going to be dropping hubby and the kids off a little before 5 and then running over to the library. Thank goodness it ended up being a decent day. In all likelihood we will be grabbing something at a fast food place after practice, as much as I don't want to.

3. My husband got a free week pass for a new local gym that's open twenty four hours a day (you use a card to get in). Well now he really wants a membership. Of course, he is on unemployment, so that isn't going to happen. I told him we could get rid of the extra cable (this would save us $40 a month) and then we could afford a gym membership. He wasn't too keen on that idea because then he would be missing his precious Mets!! lol. I would love to go to the gym too (believe me, I need to lose about 60 pounds) but I think I would rather pay the bills!!

4. I hate IE6 (internet explorer 6)! It doesn't like my signature because it doesn't like pngs. So all you out there need to upgrade to at least 7 or, better yet, use Firefox. just kidding. lol. But 7 does support these other graphic files, so it is better. I will be changing it to a jpg with the pages background behind it so those with IE6 will now be able to see it correctly.

I have a test in my Business Statistics class on Thursday, and this is some hard stuff. Let me tell ya. So, between now and then I will probably not be posting much. So I will wish you all a great Earth Day, one day in advance.
