I Did It (I Think)

I had a feeling that the problem I was having with my color on my computer had something to do with the tower being shifted around quite a bit while getting the internet set up...  soooooo...  tonight I opened the tower and made sure everything was plugged in tightly.  Imagine my surprise, and delight, when I started up the computer and it showed all the beautiful colors it was supposed to.  Yay!

I am not a mechanic in any sense of the word - so you can be sure I am happy that this worked and I don't have to go out and purchase another graphics card with money that isn't there - yikes.

So, my computer is back in decent working order - and I'm happy as a clam (what does that mean anyway?  how happy ARE clams?)...

Yeah

Gonna promote this where-ever I can.  :-)

Elko, NV

Left the house this morning at 6am, to make the drive into Elko, NV...  where there is a Wal-Mart.  Why Wal-Mart?  It's because I KNEW I'd be able to find a decent pay as you go phone.  And I did.  A T-Mobile Complete package which included a camera phone and one month of free service.  1,000 anytime minutes (free nights & weekends), and unlimited messaging (including text, picture & IM) for only $50.00 a month.  Yup.  Same as my Metro PCS.  So, a cheaper deal - and one that I know I won't have a problem with.  I've been with T-Mobile before and I never had a complaint (except when I had low service at a friend's apartment in Hollywood, lol)...

Elko itself was interesting.  Why TWO Burger Kings when we don't even have ONE???  Who knows, lol...  but it was a good day - nice to get out of Ely for a bit.  Think we should do it more often.  :)

No Phone...

Well, they finally did it - they shut off my phone.  I'll remember NEVER to use Alltel again - I've never had so much trouble with a phone service in my life, and I though Sprint was bad.

Anyway, I plan on getting a new phone the beginning of next month - a pay as you go phone - or something from WalMart...  something easier to use.

I sure miss my MetroPCS phone.

Microwave Chicken

So, I don't have propane yet for my stove - ergo, I have to cook my chicken in the microwave.  I've never done this before, but I've looked around online and got a few ideas - I just hope something works, I don't want to waste this chicken...

It was warmer today than usual - 50 degrees.  And luckily the wind wasn't blasting down from the mountains and freezing us out with the wind chill...  we did have wind, but it was a warm wind.  I think it's what they call a "chinook" - that spring wind?  The one that lets you know that warm weather is on its way.  Tomorrow is our last day of snow, at least I think so - we'll have to wait and see.  Good thing the Spring Fling Craft Fair is indoors, lol.
