My new computer

Is Friggin shweet. Well it looks sweet at least and it is too.
Hubbs fried his processor which is quite impressive especially considering all he did was flash the BIOS and since I own a business I get a new computer and we have a trickle down. He gets my old one and i get his old one for work stuff too (yes I need at least 2 computers one for working on other peoples virus infected machines and one that works right). So it all works out cos my old beater computer gave up the ghost after this move (Toy was a ripe old 7 years old).
So I got one of those new 64bit Athlons and the A8N SLI board from ASUS which is like the top of the line, one of their newest. An SATA HDD which is also new technology and a PCI-Express video card also new. It is sweet. I am never one to get the new stuff. I actually have a wireless USB network adapter that is not compatible with this new board. Which kind of sucks but I think it is awesome cos I have never had something like that happen before, usually my computer is too old. When I got the new drives I made sure they were black and put them in my old black mod case and as luck would have it the mobo is black too. I through in my blue LED fans and hooked up some other lights and I have to say besides having the kickass gaming system I now also have a pretty sweet vanity mod compter. Hubbs is jealous.
Total deal:
Mobo: Asus A8N
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
CD/DVD: Lite-on Dual Layer DVDRW
HDD: SATA Maxtor 7200RPM 160GB
IDE Maxtor 40GB
IDE WD 80GB
PowerColor ATI Radeon X600 w/256MB

too late again

Yup once again I am up to late. I told hubbs about 2 hours ago I would be in bed in a few minutes now he will be up in 3 hours and I am not even there yet. Elsa is curled up under my desk sound asleep on an old shirt. Usually she is giving me dirty looks long before now. I have a meeting in the morning I REALLY need to be awake for as it is one of the advertising people I am using. I am just not ready to sleep. Dam Myspace and reuniting me with an old bud. I am happy to say she is getting married after being with the same man for 8 years. I admit at first I was worried but they were in school then now they are older and wiser and more power to them, they are obviously great for eachother. ok off to sleep with me really. I will need to get me some Dew in the morning just to wake up. Of course the DP for dinner is probably why I am still up at this hour. I had such a long day today too. Well night time to wake up Elsa and get the evil doggy eye for disturbing her I bet she will be so pissed she will either ignore me and go straight in her crate or do a great big F-U and curlup in the middle of the bed and refuse to move. Good thing she doesnt realive she only weighs 25lbs so I can move her.

I have been busy. Last week hubbs updated his BIOS and managed to fry his processor. Don't know how he did it but it is a special kind of gift he has. So we took some spare parts and built him a new computer.
I have had 3 clients this week. Which is great. But with that cane the realization that I need a second computer and not just a dual boot. So I am getting a kick ass schweet system that should last me awhile and hubs is getting mine and I get the crap he built as my toy. It is still better than my old toy that fried in the move.
Last Saturday we drove into Atlanta to check out the Auto Show. It was ok not near as cool as LA's but still good. We were able to narrow the field of new vehicles down to 3 or 4 SUVs. The most likely winner will be an Element. I know they are ugly as sin but hear me out they are VERY practical. they are big and romy outside without being a monstrosity and the inside is all rubber so I do not have to worry about dog hair. Also the rear seats old up int the walls so there is plenty of space to haul lumber and stuff for the house.
So yeah move to Georgia and get a truck the only question is where do you put the gunrack in a civic.
I started looking around on Friendster and MySpace more today. I cannot beleive how many people I found that i know. Old roommates, a boyfriend from high school and lots of other people. That is cool I hope to be able to get in touch with some people since I have obvioously sucked at it my whole life. :)
Now if only I can get a feed into there so I dont have to always repost this shit, we shall see.

Today we took our first trip into Charleston. Put up the new gate in the kitchen with the dining table chairs pressed up against it. Right after we left Hubbs realized he forgot the directions. It was his job to find out how to get there this time. We had not been gone 20 minutes and both dogs had made it out of the kitchen. So we opened the gate and left again and hoped for the best. Before we could see the city we stopped at the Naval Base and got hubbs some uniform stuff since it is the closest base to us. Then we wereoff. Charleston is nice. We went to Margaritaville, got me another Tshirt for my collection. There was no cafe so we walked and stopped at the first place that smelled good. It turned out to be greek and it was Delish. Then we walked around and splurged on a Carriage tour. That was fun and very worth the money. We saw the Waterfront area and some beautiful homes. We also saw some gorgeous churces and old graveyards. We will be going back at some point probably multiple times. I want to spend a few days there and we may take the inlaws when they come see us in a few months.
When we returned home the dogs had been fairly good. Only one mess to clean up and one torn paper (I had picked up EVERYTHING or so I thought). they got hubbs uniform bag and gnawed on his hat but no real damage. They were very glad to see us home.

Today I got my first call on Rent-A-Geek. That was nice. Didnt get the customer but that is ok. I know the advertising is working.
