Puter crashed!! But reservations made!

What a week! Down to the last minute for making Vegas reservations, and my puter died!!! Grrrrrr!!! Is that an omen? LOL! First the hard disk went, then my monitor, and finally the video card fried. But between disasters, ds brought his puter over so we could make the reservations. Of course, it was $300 more than I planned because I waited too long, but at any rate, they're made. He and I went out Thursday night and I got a flat panel monitor. Hey! There's actually a desk where the old monitor used to sit! This flat one is really neat! Got lots more working room now. And tonight I got a new Gateway cpu. Had the old one for six years, which is twice the normal lifetime, the tech told me. So I don't feel too bad about it, just wanted to wait till fall, but oh well.

Made the reservations for ds and me, and now he's crashed and burned, won't be going. I knew I was delaying for some reason! Seems he's gotten behind on the lease payments for his car and it was repo'd early Tuesday morning! Arrggghhh!!!! I swear, will he ever get his financial act together??? :( Good thing he had the old Fiero, drove it all week, but it died today on the highway. And his old TransAm is sitting, disabled, in my garage. So tomorrow's projects are to get the Fiero towed to a repair shop and get the T/A running. I'M going to plant flowers and clean house! The kids can work on the car! His Vegas trip money will have to go toward repairs.

Dd and I made the decision to move back "home" to Beavercreek! It feels right, in my heart and my head. AND, I found the answer to the "house" question. Found a new development of patio homes there, on the eastern edge of town, which is very out in the country for now, at least. The builder's cheapest model is perfect, a two story with my bedroom on the first floor, and two bedrooms upstairs, one for each kid. Oh yeah, did I mention that ds asked to move back home? Anyway, this way we'll have a new house and I won't have the job of shoveling snow or mowing the lawn once the kids are gone. They also have a dynamite clubhouse, a renovated 130 yr old barn! It has a great party room, fitness room, two outdoor heated pools, tennis courts, and the huge old beams to give it character. Sarah's already planning to have her graduation party there next year! So I'm feeling good about our decisions. Now to get the house started and hopefully move in before the holidays!! LOL!

Dd is in a fair amount of pain since the surgery Thursday. The surgeon said this one should do the trick. The "hole" is MUCH smaller than the first time around, shouldn't take long to heal, but right now, hurts like h***! However, she should be able to go back to school Tuesday, finish out the year and get ready to return to BHS in the fall. She's so happy!!

Ok, guess I've caught you all up on what's going on here. Whew! Hate not being able to pop in all week! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Be careful on the roads and enjoy!!

Hugs to everyone! Pam

Pam I was just wondering today if you were going to make Vegas girl. Like Gabby I need info lady. When do you arrive, where are you staying, send either Gabby, Cappy or me an email with the information.

Hope Sarah heals quickly and sorry to hear about ds car problems. Sometimes it seems to take forever for them to get their act together. My ds is 28 and only because he is married to a very smart lady is he just beginning to get his act together.

Cannot wait to see you soon

Much love

Mary

I'm so glad you're coming to Vegas, Pam. Too bad so much is happening to your ds but he'll learn. Sounds like your decision to move back is a good one. I think, from what you said, that everyone will be happier and more comfortable there. I'm glad it's worked out.

See you this week-end.
