Today had to be the funnest day shopping I have ever had. Even though I do go shopping almost every Saturday, it's not too often I really have fun doing it. I was just hitting all the right sales/clearance sales. *grins*
It started at Payless. I got 2 new pair of sandals, one about 3 inch heal wedgies (black straps over the toes and buckles around the ankle), the other 2 inch skinny heals (rainbow striped strap over toes and front of ankle, plain white elastic strap on back). They were on clearance for $6.00 each, and my sister had a 10% off coupon. :)
Next was Staples. I got a stereo headphone/handsfree set for my cell on clearance for $4.50 and a bluetooth headset for $9.50 - both are Jabra brand. :D Both work perfectly for my phone too. *grins*
After that was Fashion Bug... the only clothes store I really love shopping in. My family is in there so often and have been shopping there for so long that the sales people know us and look forward to seeing us. Is that a good or bad thing? lol I just adore Fashion Bug. I usually get at least one $10 off of $10 coupon a month from them, then I get rebate coupons with my credit card. And their sales and clearance prices are THE BEST! I got a pair of pants and 7 tops for around $23.00. I don't think I EVER paid full price for anything from that store. :D
To end it, we had to make our weekly stop at Walmart. My favorite purchase today..... my Superman comforter!!!!!!! And it was on clearance for $16.00!!!!! It was normally $40.00!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D (Did I overdo the smilies a bit? *grins*) Now all I gotta do is get my sheet set yet and I'll be happy. (and wait for the Transformer bedding to go on clearance *grins*) (yes I refuse to grow up) ;)
So I am quite the happy gal tonight. :D Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
After 2 weeks of VGA, crappy color, not being able to do 90% of things on my comptuer, I'm so completely ECSTATIC!!!!!!!!!
It only took my brother about an hour and a half to build it. Didn't run into any problems except with one fan, but easily fixed. Then he installed XP and a few other programs and updated everything for me.
I feel like I'm gonna get blown away by this computer now! LOL Only thing I hate is having to transfer all my data and reinstalling the programs.
I'm just soooooooo happy to actually be able to see pictures on my comptuer again! :D
Computer update!
Jun. 1st, 2007 03:57 pmI'm gonna hug him, and squeeze him, and pat him on his top and call him Kal-El (on our network) *grins*
I IS SO EXCITED!
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hate computers. :P
Monday night I installed some games from Shockwave and was checking to see if they would work on my computer. My computer is 7 years old with ancient graphic cards and all that junk so a lot of new games don't play. Usually it'll just come up with a box saying the graphic card is not good enough or something and not run the game. The one game totally screwed up my graphic card or something. It starts up and goes through the Windows screen, but before it gets to the logon screen, the whole thing goes black, but doesn't freeze up because the keyboard still works.
My brother (who is pretty much a comptuer wiz *grins*) came over and looked at it last night. He tried reinstalling the graphic drivers, updating the drivers, and changing a few settings. The only thing that works is..... VGA MODE!!!! OMG!!!!
Thus the reason I feel like I de-evolved 20 years! UGH! It's HORRIBLE!!!!!
It's going to happen sooner than I planned, but I'll be getting a new computer now. My brother is speccing one out for me so he can build it. :D Hopefully he'll get it all planned out so I can order the parts by Friday. If I have to go on much longer with my ancient computer, I'll cry! :P
*wants to sleep for a few years and hopefully wake up to a better life* *grins*
LJ Username Meme
Mar. 15th, 2007 08:51 amI'm not going to tag anyone, cuz by the time I do these meme's, almost everyone else has done them anyways. *grins*
Usually when I set up a username for anything on line, I have a default one I use, but when I got involved in the Highlander fandom years ago, I wanted to use something to keep fandom seperate from everything else. I had started writing a HL fanfic with an OFC named Rosalynd (named after Rosalind in Shakespeares As You Like It). When I decided to open an LJ last year, I decided to go with Rosy and the 5000 comes from Methos (from HL) being over 5000 years old.
That's all... nothing terribly exciting. :)
