Random Update

We left Toronto yesterday at 11:30am (a tad behind our original 5am schedule - lol) and are now here in New York living in Greenwich Village for the month. The cat was a little angel on the 9 hour drive and she's acclimatized pretty well to the new apartment. It's been raining and damp here and will probably continue to be the rest of the week. I don't mind!

Side note, we're returning the Dell Mini. It is PAINFULLY SLOW. It's simply not worth having. It wasn't even that cheap. Unfortunately, Dell makes it far from easy to return. Husband was on the phone with them for an hour (which he doesn't have to spare) while they passed him around from one department to another and back again. The verdict after all that time? "We'll send you an email." We've been waiting for DAYS to get that email now. Are they trying to run out our 30 day return window? I've always used Dell but this is enough to detour me. I like to know that a company is there for you not only during the good times (buying) but the bad times too (returning).

We parked the car here last night so we're going to drive it out to Jersey now and leave it there.

I hope we have a story worthy week so you can read about something interesting!

New Computer, Meet Your Little Sister

The 12" Mini Dell came today... finally. Husband bought an external CD drive to install Windows XP pro which we'll return next week. Completely unethical. I know.

It will be great to have a computer at home again. I used to work from home but when Husband and I joined forces and expanded our business into an office, we took our computers with us. That meant for the longest time, I was completely out of touch every evening and weekend. It was very nice for a while. It certainly drew a distinction between work and home. People admired it, even.

Well, I've had enough zen time and I'd like to join the rest of the world again on my off hours. So, this Mini will be our home computer. It will let me check on email and look up recipes and perhaps look up the occasional porn. Just kidding. I don't use recipes. {insert laughter}

The Dell Mini will also be great for short travels to New York, etc.

Welcome to the family, little computer.
