Me vs. Cell Phone, Computer and Car

As many of you know from reading previous posts I am not good with any of the following: cell phone, computer and car. This weekend proved to be more of the same. I will start with my computer. Many of you have probably purchased a computer with a trial version of a virus program on it. Well, I did that and recently that trial ran out. So when I was promoted to purchase the new version, I clicked purchase and off I went. However, as it usually goes with me, the new version that I downloaded was not compatible with my computer and for some reason the serial number was not correct. So I sent a few emails to the support center, I called up and they told me that they would email me a new version to upload. OK, so when I got the email, I clicked download....and not to my surprise really, the new Verizon didn't work. Awesome. SO I called up again and told them that I need a serial number. They emailed me the serial number and I am I up and running.

So now to my new cell phone. I love it! However, it has been an ongoing problem. It all started when I entered Verizon Wireless and fought with the dude there about the cost of the data plan he wanted me to purchase. I finally agree to the 29.99 one which would give me unlimited email and web. COOl. So I got my new phone and I was off.

So I tried the web and calendar and the damn thing wouldn't work. I spend a few hours online trying to trouble shoot the damn thing and then once again resorted to emailing the tech support. The next day I had no response so I decided to call them. I was on the phone for about 1 hour while this dude named Brian in L.A. tried to fix my problem. And he did and I have been up and running with email and web for about 2 weeks.......

And then, yesterday I get a statement in the mail. AGAIN, not really to my surprise, I was being billed $45 dollars extra on my bill. Um, WHAT?! So I headed over to Verizon again today. They told me that when I called over to tech support they messed something up and changed my service. I was like, ummmmmmmmmm..of course they did!!! So, now I think I am back up and running...with $29.99...but we will see..


OK, onto my car (I know right). While heading out to my car to go to Verizon today the car wouldn't start. Now, mind you I thought the car sounded funny yesterday and I remembering asking, "does the car sound funny, or is it my imagination". I remember John saying, "I think it may be a little of both". Well, it was obviously a lot of the car sounded funny and none of ME.

So right now, my car, with the help of a dude from AAA is sitting at the shop down on Rantoul street waiting for tomorrow. I will have to head down there with the help from my very awesome sister tomorrow at 7:00AM. I bet you a million dollar it is my battery. The reason I am thinking this, is because I just bought this battery like a few months ago...so I am guessing that is just me luck.

Anywho, that's the update from here. Thank god it's a 4 day week this week. WORD

I LOVE my new cell phone......

That's really all for today. I just really really love it. It's getting to be an obsession I think.

Finding it hard lately.....

to go to work. Not because it isn't the most awesome job in the entire world and that I love it sooooo much. But because on the way to work there are less cars, no school buses and no children at any of the bus stops. At lunch I see kids and people heading to the beach with Frisbees and blankets. When I head home from work and I am ready to kill myself, those people are all headed on to sit on their porch and enjoy a nice ice cold beverage.

I am finding this very very hard!!! I love the summer and I am sad that for most if it I only get to enjoy the evening hours.

People complain about the heat, I complain that the AC in the office is way too cold. I seriously have no need for summer clothes except on the weekends. **the reminds me, I really need to look into getting a space heater for my desk***

I heard on the radio the other day that teachers get about 12 weeks of vacation a year. Don't get me wrong, teaching is a very hard job and I went to school to be a teacher. I am just saying. WHAT was I THINKING, not going into teaching. I am seriously reconsidering my career choice. NOT because of my love of kids and the wanting to give back to the community, but for the vacation! haha

Anywho, hope everything is having a great start to the summer! The 5 days off that I have this summer are going to R O C K!!! hardcore

End of yet another weekend...

I killed a chipmunk today. I know, so sad. I needed to confess because I feel awful. I tried to miss that little guy as he jumped right in front of my car, but alas, it was too late:( tear.

In better news, I did end up missing the rabbit that ran out in front of me earlier today....

And John and I booked our Florida trip! YAY! I could not be more excited. We are heading to Fort Lauderdale in September to rock it out and take a break from work! I would have gone this summer, but getting time off from work in the summer is like nearly impossible....unless you want to like sell a limb or something. But going during hurricane season might be awesome..ha ha ha.

So yet again, this weekend has come to an end and like always I am dreading going back to work tomorrow. Hopefully the week will fly so that we can all relax and enjoy the weekend once again:)

76 Bobby Pins

Is exactly how many were in my hair this weekend for Melissa and Patrick's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I want to wish them both the best of luck! Melissa looked soooo beautious:) It was a lot of fun as well.

On a side note, after looking at the pictures from the wedding, I am never eating again! Definitely need to lose the weight that I have gained.

Look what we had done....lol

If only I really looked that good in a bikini....
