Confession

I am making a confession here.  I have to admit, hard as it is, that I am an addict and Sunday evening I went cold turkey.  My addiction is known by many, many people and I've tried very hard to hide it but now it is time to confess.  My addiction was playing Farmville!  Yes, I am an addict, or former addict.  I had all the different farms, the Home farm, Winter Wonderland, English Farm, Lighthouse Farm, yes I was addicted to harvesting cows, trees, hatching eggs, harvesting crops.  It was very sad that I was spending more than an hour or two a day playing that stupid game.  I even went so far as to constantly go to my personal profile and delete any kind of posts from my fellow Farmville users that my have appeared on my profile so people wouldn't suspect that I even played the game.  I was sick with the addiction of playing the game.  Sunday evening I just decided I was done and blocked it.  Yes, I blocked that game.  Here it is Tuesday morning and I do miss it but I don't miss the extra time I now have to other things in my life, like painting or crafting.  I've picked up my counted cross-stitch ornaments again and now I'm making pot holders for the show on Saturday.  Hopefully, I won't relapse and activate the thing again, I will be strong.  I confess I am an addict and will always be but for now I'm in remission!  Whew, I feel better!

What a Monday!

What a Monday this has turned out to be. I actually was able to sleep in an hour but that was because I was exhausted because I woke up at 2 in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep till about 4 this morning. My mind was playing games with me and racing. Finally here I am in the office and my computer Internet connection is down. I called our IT guy that is working out in the field and he couldn't help me on the phone then I called our nephew who is a computer geek and he gave me some tips but still not helping. He had steps to take and the first one was to replace the CAT5 cable from the wall jack to the tower. Without my computer I was not able to email quotes or get my cameras up for the front door or CHECK MY EMAIL! We then had a meeting with our accountant that took several hours well into the lunch hour. He treated us to lunch at The Wild Fork! We pulled up back at the office and our shop guy was there and I mentioned to The Hubby that MA go to the supply house for a new cable. The Hubby was very insistent that he tear into my tower!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I was insistent that he get a new cable since the one we were using had been here and in use for at least 10 years, you think it just might be bad! He told the shop guy to go and get one to basically shut me up but then realized they might have another one in the back office longer. The new cable plugged in, I rebooted and VIOLA I have INTERNET! I didn't say I told you so but neither did I get a "yes you were right." Humph!

Yee Haw

Here I am sitting at our lake home and I'm on the Internet. I went into one of the extra bedrooms and took my new laptop and tried to get a connection. Lo and Behold I'm connected with the neighbors connection. Yee Haw! I knew he had it unsecured as others here use it occasionally and now I can too. I will always bring my laptop from now own so in the mornings when I want to write or blog I can. I'm very happy. I'm connected with the world. Just kidding. I really like not having the outside interference when I am here as I like being left to my books and my journal, but this is cool.
