Dell Dude
After a month or so of research, I finally ordered myself a new computer last night. I decided on a Dell XPS 200, with dual-core Pentium D processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, and 17" LCD monitor. Merry Christmas to me, LOL. It should be a nice upgrade from the Dell Pentium III that I've had for five years. :P For all the crap Dell gets about its products and service, I personally have had really good experience with them (knock on wood) since the first time I bought from them over seven years ago. Anyway, I am looking forward to the new arrival. Not sure yet what I'll do with my old PC, but I might possibly give it to one of my mom's former co-workers and her kids; I handed down one of my older computers to them years ago and I don't think they've upgraded since then.
Not much else terribly exciting went on this past week. I got started on Christmas shopping for my family. The "Narra Kids" will be doing a grab bag this year, so that means fewer gifts to buy. :) Over the weekend I did a lot of cleaning around the house again. Finally purged a bunch of junk mail and filed away some paid bills and such that were overrunning one of the desks in my office area. I also slightly rearranged the closets in both my bedroom and the guest room (I was watching a Clean Sweep marathon on TLC Saturday morning and got inspired, hee). Also I put up my Christmas wreath and stocking. Haven't decided yet if I'll put up a tree this year.
Funny Mocha story from yesterday... My parents had been missing the remote control for the tv in their family room for a few weeks now. They don't use that tv much except for entertaining so it hasn't been a big deal, but still, it was annoying not to have it. Anyway, I was playing with the dog in "his" room (the computer room) yesterday and at one point he crawled under the bed, where he likes to hang out sometimes. I heard a "thunk" of a hard plastic object rolling around on the floor, which was unusual since most of Mocha's chew toys are rubber and don't sound like that when they hit the floor. So I looked under the bed, and lo and behold! The remote control! I'm guessing he grabbed it and took it upstairs in an effort to get attention at some point, but no one noticed (LOL). Luckily he didn't chew it up or anything. So anyway, mystery solved!
