Alice, etc...

So "Alice in Wonderland" opened today - one of the FEW movies coming out this year that I'm interested in seeing...  but will I ever see it?  In the theaters, I mean...  probably not.  Hopefully the one theater here will have it in a couple of months, but I won't hold my breath.  Oh well, just one more disappointment...

My phone has a 5 day extension - meaning if they don't get the money by Monday, it's going to be shut off -  oh goody.  I will NEVER buy another VISA gift card as long as I live...  they aren't good for anything really.  From now on, if I want to buy a gift card for someone, it will be specific for a store (ie: Old Navy, Borders, etc...).  I have my reasons.

Nice day today - got the front door open (but the screen closed) so the cats can enjoy some sun.  Nothing else planned - just another lazy day...

Slow Day - Kinda

Nothing planned for today - at first I was just going to hole up in my room all day and read, but I decided to come out and try and figure out this effin' computer problem.  I REALLY don't want another money issue (might have to buy a new graphics card) - so I'm trying to use all my computer knowledge (which unfortunately isn't much) to fix it.

I've tried a lot of different things already: getting a new monitor, downloading the driver for the card, even restoring the computer (again!) - and nothing seems to be working.

Needless to say, I'm getting a little frustrated...  if just ONE thing in my life would work out, I would be a happier person.

P.S. It's snowing again today...

My Phone Service

Okay, so Alltel is pretty sucky right now - so much so that I could possibly be losing my phone on Friday...  seems they don't accept VISA gift cards...  so I think I may have wasted 50 bucks (in the long run).  At this moment it looks like I was only able to pay HALF of the bill - and if that's the case, I'm hoping they're nice enough to leave my phone ON until I can pay the other half.  It's all so confusing - I won't have this issue next month though, so that's a good thing.

I have to say, if I lose my phone, I'll live.  I've gone without a phone before.

Weather

I try not to do this too often, because I don't want anyone to think I don't have anything better to do or talk about, lol - but every now and then, I want to point out the specifics of the weather here in Ely - why?  Just because - and that's my only reason, lol...

Okay, first of all, when I woke up this morning, it was only  13 degrees - not bad when you're still under the covers, but a little on the chilly side to walk about in...

Here's the forecast for the next 10 days (from weather.com):

Today Mostly Sunny                  High:44°  Low:21°

Tue Mostly Cloudy / Wind  High:46°  Low:24°

Wed Rain / Snow                       High:41°  Low:21°

Thu Snow Showers                 High:39°  Low:19°

Fri Partly Cloudy                  High:40°  Low:19°

Sat Partly Cloudy                 High: 34°  Low:18°

Sun Few Snow Showers        High:39°  Low:15°

Mon Snow Shower                   High:41°  Low:17°

Tue Partly Cloudy                  High:44°  Low:16°

Wed Partly Cloudy                  High:45°  Low:20°

Some lows, but actually not as low as it has been believe me.  You don't know cold until you wake up and it's negative something, lol...  those are the days I stay in the bedroom with the good heater, lol...

Anyway, so that's what the weather is going to be like here for the next few days - just thought you might like to know.  ;-)

Today - I'm heading out this morning to help Deb feed the animals - the horses, chickens and goats.  We don't usually do this because it's her husband's job, but his hours are different at work for the next three days, so someone has to do it - and she asked me to help.  Whatever - gets me up in the morning.

Later we have errands to run...  money stuff - the bank, Family Dollar, etc...  did I mention today is the 1st of the month and a payday of mine?  So yeah, lots of things to do...

Better get going actually - still have to dress.
