My computer was delivered today, and setup and connecting to the internet is made so easy these days. These days, there are 2 handy setup brochures with photos and I think I was all set up and connected to the Internet within about 15-20 minutes! I'm trying to get used to typing on smaller keys and using this crazy flat 2" square space that acts as the laptop "mouse." But in all, the process of trying to figure out what was wrong with my old computer and ordering a new one was made so easy with Brandon's help this week. He's a computer GENIUS!

Not only does he spend 2 hours patiently trying 4 different lengthy procedures trying to fix
my old broken computer, but he also helps me pick out the perfect new computer answering all my questions with just enough but not too much techno-detail, and is patient when I ask him for help with problems in designing my webpage then decide 24 hours later that I know some HTML and want to work independently and figure it out on my own, then go back to him 3 days later begging for his assistance. It's a never-ending cycle with my webpage, and bless him for being so kind as to remain patient or "lay off the techno-speak" based on my current need du jour. He ran across the street and got large lemonades this evening, in gym shorts, in the snow. That's love.

(he's the non-pale one in the baseball cap. sometimes i steal his bandwith but it's only because i love him.)

Such a nice boy to help you like that. Did you cook for him? A small meal of spagetti...or tatar tot cassarole? That is the least you can do for a guy who runs in the snow for lemonade of all things?? I thought coffee!!!!

Yes, I cooked chicken enchaladas. There's a kit you can buy in the taco aisle at the grocery store that is supposedly new. They were good, as evidenced by the fact that I ate leftovers 2 more times. :)
