New Computer Woes

Friday I had to take the computer of less than one week back to the store. All the top keys kept sticking and it would take 3 forevers to type or leave a comment. I exchanged it for the exact same model and it was $100 less! Yahoo! Bring it home and set it up and this one doesn't have a built in microphone for skype. Grrrr!!!! I am still trying to figure it out but there is no paperwork to read so it's either going to be a phone call or a 3 hour search on dell.com.


J is doing really well. Right now she is in her room practicing her typing and is getting quite good. Every time she finds out how to do something new and cool she is soooo excited. Like the hearts. Today she learned how to make them different colors so look out!

We are supposed to be going skiing at Beech Mtn. next weekend (Thur - Sunday) compliments of G. J so wants to see snow and honestly mom does too. Neither of us know how to ski. I tried a couple of years ago in Snow Mass but couldn't breathe due to the elevation and spent most of the time struggling just to walk around the condo without gasping for breath. Now snowmobiling & tubing is a totally different story as they don't require much coordination. In the past, all the other trips to Colorado and Wyoming have been snowmobile speed trips for me while G did the black diamond. Hoping I don't embarrass myself but if I do it won't be the first time. J, on the other hand, will do very well I am sure. She is very coordinated and quite the athlete.

Normally I don't announce trips ahead of time to J but this time I did and J has done nothing to sabotage it. Yay! G's secretary emailed us pictures of the house we'll be staying in so she's had a chance to check it out and she knows the other family that is going and gets on with their daughter very well. Kaylee is 11 now.

My backup plan is to keep the car handy so we can excuse ourselves if it gets to scary for J or if G starts arguing.
