we're "home"

if you can call home a air mattress that is leaking (almost gone) and a freezing cold apt because the heater doesn't work... oh did i mention its an empty home? the moving van isn't here yet... and according to the guy we talked to yesterday won't be for up to two weeks. we "moved" in last night from our friends apt and thought oh wow its chilly in here... lets turn up the heat... an hr passed and nothing... turn it up more... another hr passed and finally i opened up the heater vent and ICE!! everywhere and about an inch thick.. but of course by then it was to late to call our friends to stay with them again.. so we took our one thin quilt and our sheets and put them on our air mattress.. only to find out it was leaking. so i spent the night staying in bed shivering, but giving off enough body heat to lily that i couldn't get up. to top it off by the morning my hip was hitting the floor. so here i am exhausted, freezing and sitting on an ice chest at our desk next to the oven, trying to recieve some of its warmth. seth is at school with the car or i would go buy a space heater... and the managers aren't in yet to get the heater fixed.. oh and its 23 degrees outside... idaho has quite the way of welcoming you "home"

At least your computer is working! That's the most important thing, isn't it? Hope things are better tonight!

Well, if the computer is working you can order everything you want online and have it shipped to you!

In the meantime, crank up some games on that computer. The processor is probably running at some really low temps right about now, and it'll plow through the graphics something sweet! No more lags!

sadly james i cant really even do that for two reasons.. the sound card in our comp died.. and lily is used to having mommy and daddy home all day and now its just me with no toys so she is being very demanding, wanting constant attention and wanting to touch and grab everything.. which means now i must go she is screaming

Seth cracked the screen and the sound card died. Just shoot the computer and put it out of it's misery :(

Or resurrect it like I've done! NewEgg rocks! :)
