Welcome, welcome to day 7

I really hope I make it to day 11.

Yeah, I know, day 6 is missing. I have a great reason....even though it's irritating beyond belief.

So yesterday was my daughters 17th birthday. Like a twit, I made an appointment for a perm at 9:00 a.m. It seemed like a GREAT idea at the time, which was a month ago. I figured 9 in the morning, PLENTY of time! Yeah, NOT! I got there at 8:45, we started right at 9 and it took her until 11:30 to roll my hair. I had WELL OVER 100 rods in my hair, which is almost to my waist. WOW, I really thought it would never end. So at 11:30, she gets the solution on and I sit for 20 and then we continue to go through all the motions, etc. I didn't leave there until almost 2 pm. It's 45 minutes in good traffic to get back to my house, but TOTALLY worth it. So I get going, call Chuck and he says he's picking up ice cream and already picked up Kylies pink iPod. THANK YOU! I was really sweating that. What a guy!!! So I get home and Kylie is at the movies seeing "Dark Knight" (which she came home and said was WAY to much blood and violence for my 6 year old nephew ....good to know). We decided that while she was gone, we would pick up her truck and park it down the street. She wouldn't think a thing about it and it would save us some time. So everyone starts to get there, we have dinner, she opens presents and I went outside to make sure I had a good spot for pictures. My nephew runs to the door, rings the doorbell and runs off. (wonder if I just taught him something new and fun to do) My mom walks my daughter out the door and Kylie is TOTALLY confused and has no clue what's going on. Well Chuck had moved the truck, opened the doors and turned on the stereo. She was TOTALLY blown away.

This grin has been planted on her face since last night. I can't believe her face isn't frozen that way....but now that I think about it...maybe it is.
But believe it or not...this is not why I'm late....

So I come up to the craft room last night, tired, but ready to get posted and up and ON TIME again. No internet. Hmmm. Ok. So I re-connect. No internet. This went on for quite a while before I was ready to scream and stomped out of the craft room and went to bed.

Got up this morning and the internet was connected (it's wireless) and I thought COOL, I'm in business now. Yep, all the way up until I touched the computer...then no internet. I think that the sound that came out was not unlike a growling sound. So I went downstairs to do coffee. It gets going and after 20 minutes with no "I'm done" beep, I check the coffee maker. Yeah, theres about 2 cups brewed, and steam galore. Hmmmm. Messed with the coffee pot....nothing. So I got a little bent out of shape and decided that I was going to boil water in the kettle, and pour it through the filter and coffee and fill the pot the rest of the way. In theory, it seems like this should work....but it really didn't. It took FOREVER and by the time I hit 8 cups, I plucked the pot out, poured everyone a cup, shoved it back in and stomped off....back upstairs to the internet. Started messing with it, and it would connect and immediately disconnect. Downstairs I go. Hit reset,back upstairs...I have internet.....uh, nope, not anymore....downstairs...reset....upstairs...internet....nope...not any more. CRAP! I finally called Chuck on his cell phone...downstairs and asked him to reset the internet. I was more than done with the up-down thing. He reset and I was on. I got a post done, was on about 8 minutes and then nothing. I admit it...I had a tantrum and I SCREAMED at the computer....and stomped out of the room. Went and took a shower and went over to my grandparents to hook up their internet. I guess this was just my day. Theirs went off very well, other than there are 9bajillion cords behind their computer desk. So I got gas, and came home, more determined to make this internet work. I'm not good with sending smoke signals so the internet MUST work for me. FINALLY, we figured out that the router in the panel downstairs has a loose connection. As long as no one touches it, we're in business. Hopefully I won't go to post this I be offline.....ya'll will be able to hear me scream no matter where you live.

One to the freebies. I'm posting day 6 and day 7 all at once, just to be safe.

DOWNLOADS EXPIRED

AND, as long as the connection holds out (keep your fingers crossed) I'm uploading this kit to digitals. I've also added the freebies from the Digitals chat, so if you didn't get them, they are in there. It will also still be on sale.

Everyone have a GREAT weekend, and go hug your modem!
