Laptops...

Today had been the day of the laptops.  I have three different ones that I'm working on right now with a various array of issues.  My Ria Friend dropped off our Kori Friend's laptop that has an issue with the charger port, already have a replacement ordered for it.  Picked up a laptop from someone today who thought the motherboard had went bad on it.  Luckily it doesn't look like the motherboard is the issue.  It seems to be something with the video, whether it's the screen or a connection...I've yet to tear into it.  And I've got anther laptop that I'm working on backing up and restoring...it just had several issues that was going to be more time efficient it it was wiped clean.

It seems like everywhere I'm looking around my little dining room/office there's a laptop and power cords running everywhere! 

A couple of days ago was Christmas, which is always a fun time around our family.  This year I scored a new iPod Touch 5th Generation and a new pair of Dr. Martens (eventually the old ones will wear out).  Mom got "smart" this year with a new Motorola Electrify M smartphone.  Dad got a new Garmin Astro GPS dog tracking system.  I'd say Santa treated us all pretty well this year.  The best part of it all was spending time with Mom and Dad and our families. 

I got off of work early today and don't have to go into work tomorrow...what am I going to do with myself with all of this free time? Oh yea...work on laptops! Duh! I'll most likely be using some of my free time to take down the Christmas tree and decorations.

When I do eventually start to see some light at the end of the tunnel, I need to upload and print some of the pictures that I have taken during a couple of the basketball games so far this season.  At the game I went to last week between my new home and my hometown teams, I ended up taking right around 1000 pictures...needless to say I had to do some picking and choosing before just uploading them! Oye vey!

My ZoomBrowser EX software looked a little crowded when it loaded the thumbnails for all of the pictures on the camera...I've got my work cut out for me!


With the New Year approaching, that means the annual New Year's 11-Point Pitch card party at The Gray's...since the date was bumped up this year, I will be able to attend another New Year's Eve function that I hadn't planned on.

My one main resolution this year is to get back on track with "The Plan"... I had been doing really good but hit a definite brick wall when it came to Thanksgiving and these holidays following.  But I can't complain at all...I've lost 62 pounds (probably tacked a few back on due to the holidays) since mid-March.  I can put some of the blame for lack of exercise on catching up several of the projects I was working on.  There for a good two months I was swamped with editing the pictures I had taken, along with any computers that I had to work on.  After my final Christmas party on January 5th, there will be NO IFs, ANDs, or BUTs...I have to get back on track!  I've worked too hard to get where I'm at to let it all go back downhill...besides, I've either pitched or gave away a bunch of my clothes! So...there is definitely...no...going...back!!!
