Yippie!

So I’m happy to announce that this is my first mobile blog. It’s so mobile to the point that I’m working security with Alicia tonight and there’s someone in the area who doesn’t know how to password protect their network. It’s not a strong connection but it’s enough to keep me entertained.

I have most of my programs installed, I still have a lot of files transfer over though. I forgot that you only have about 40 default windows fonts, I have to transfer the 5k or so from my computer when I get home later.

The router was a bitch to setup though, it would NOT read the network for the life of me. It’s all squared away now though. I spent the bulk of the afternoon outside rubbing it in that I was wireless and my neighbor wasn’t. Since there’s a new network in the house, her laptop went a little nutty trying to connect. I was amused, she was upset…that was good enough for me.

I’ve got excellent battery life on this thing too. I was outside for about three hours downloading and only used up about 10% of my battery so that worked out nicely. Right now I’ve still got about 85% left and this is after I installed all of my programs so that definitely works for me.

I have pictures, but the camera isn’t with me so I’ll have to upload them later. I tried getting a pic of the delivery guy because I was just so damn giddy but he wouldn’t, so that’s ok.

I didn’t pay much attention to Bella today, I was too busy playing with my new toy. I played with her all morning though. I knew that once FedEx showed up that I’d be preoccupied.

It was like Christmas today though. The laptop showed up and then a few hours later the table showed up. I didn’t even hear UPS pull up this time, he just dropped off the table and left. So I setup the table, threw the cloth on it and now my patio is about 80% complete. I’m just waiting on the Roll-n-Grow to show up and then I’ll pick up the flower boxes. I know it takes 4-6 weeks for them to kick in so we’ll see what happens there. I don’t even think I was charged for them yet because my credit statements aren’t reading anything. It was only $30 though so that’ll click in soon enough.

In any event, the signal is getting weak so I’m gonna head off.

    Hey remeber me? from grievous-angel.net or elysian-euphoria? I thought I’d stop by and give a comment or two. I love the simplicty of this layout. Very eye catching. Anyways, I’m glad you’re having a fun time with your new laptop. I hope everything goes smooth, when you download/upload the rest of it to your laptop. Well; I don’ tknow what else to say, so this is it I guess.

    Oooh yay!!! That must be so exciting. I’d love a laptop… one day! hehe
    Make sure you still give Bella time 😉 hehe.. can’t get addicted to the laptop!

    Hehehe, congrats on your new gadget! I love my laptop and wireless. Be careful though, you might end up using only your laptop and totally neglect your desktop, lol. I’m guilty of that one, lol.

    I can totally relate to ignoring the animals once a new gaget shows up. I always feel bad for that. Though of course, I have cats, and they refuse to be ignored.

    And yay, two deliveries in one day.

    Congrats on your new toy 🙂 I get to order mine this next week. We should have a party for our new laptops. *throws confetti*

    They have those Roll-n-Grow things at Fred’s here for like $3.00 a roll. I think the advertisement I saw on TV was $15.00 or so.

    Not sure if you remember me, but you hosted me for a little bit then I had no internet connection so I left for quite some time.

    I’m saving up for a laptop. I like my desktop but I want one bad. My boyfriend doesn’t understand why. He is always saying, “You have a computer. What do you need a laptop for?” Some people just don’t get it haha.

    Krissy: I’m sorry, I don’t remember you but good luck on your laptop. Your right, some people just don’t understand. My boyfriend understood that I was unhappy with being stuck in my room all the time. Mobility is a really nice thing to have.

    Ooh it’s there already? For some reason I thought it would take a bit longer, or they’d give you some sort of excuses to prolong things. I guess not though. Lucky you! I love getting new things, but I tend to get addicted to them really quick. My laptop is still away being fixed. I miss it already. I like being able to take it with me whenever I may need to.
