so, i set up my new computer, and decided to use the norton anti-spam feature with my outlook express...THAT was a mistake....it has caused numerous issues with my outlook express...so, i disabled it and now outlook express is working fine...go me!!...
i got my pritner installed, and i've got everything set up...i'm using my old monitor (this comptuer didn't come with one) but that's fine anyways, because i love my 17 inch CRT monitor...
the only thing i'm not too crazy about is that the speakers that came with my old computer don't work when i plug them into the back of my new one where the speakers are supposed to go...
they do, however, work when i plug them into the headphone jack in front of the computer...
so i have sound...just not real loud sound (it is, after all, a headphone jack!) ...
...
the new mouse is a scroll mouse, which i am absolutely thrilled about!...
also, this has office 2003, which means i've got word, excel, and powerpoint...
i don't know if it's got access, but i don't really see myself needing access in the immediate future...
...
what i do see myself needing in the immediate future is a new mousepad (after ten years, they really should be replaced!..) ....
i also will need some printer paper...i've got about 12 sheets left or so...
...
i really am enjoying my new comptuer...it's so quiet, you can hardly tell it's running...what a difference over my old one!...
....
tonight i made supper for mom & i...it was one of those "i don't really know what i want" nights...so, i made some scrambled eggs with green pepper & onions mixed in...then we heated up some soft taco shells and put the egg stuff on that...added cheese, sour cream, and salsa and had egg burrito type things...it wasn't that bad, actually...
maybe not the healthiest meal, but we wanted something quick, easy, and different...
....
not too much else is going on right now...
i'm a few journal entries behind for my addictions class, i suppose i should get those typed up and printed, but i just feel like there's really only so much one person can really write about...
i will admit, the story on NPR's "all things considered" the last week in october about the dog who liked to lick toads was rather amusing and did make for a fun, lighter-hearted entry...
maybe i'll watch 28 days and write about that...she did say we could use movies for journal entries....
*hmm* a movie does sound kind of fun...
....
have a happy sunday, everyone!
