finally...

I have been trying off and on for weeks to get my computer to use dial-up at the house. Dad has a co worker that works on computers on the side and he gave him a list of instructons to try. sooo, after 30 minutes of trying and trying, we ( dad and i) looked around on our cheet sheet of info for our "house" computer and found out that the username and password had been changed. Mom said "oops". At least now I can log on, but I think I am spoiled by Mamaw and Papaws wireless/highspeed internet. I will use the dial up for small stuff but will end up at my grandparents house for major stuff (downloading podcasts to ipod).

The Computer

We found out that the motherboard is fried on our computer. The guy fixing it is going to give us a deal, and he is going to pull off our information on the fried motherboard so we can have it. I will be happy when we get it back.

I am still laid off of work; hopefully I will get a call soon.

We will be starting the book of Exodus in bible, I am really excited to start the next book in the Bible. I think the rate our group is going it is going to be 2011 before we finish all the books of the bible.


well that is all for now...

Home Computer Crashed!

I got home after church today and went to get online with the home computer. It wouldn't start up, It was acting funny the other day and had a smell coming from it. I had planned on opening it up tomorrow and using the can air to dust it out. Well, I don't know what I am going to do now. I guess we'll call our computer guy to see if he can get it running again. Luckily my laptop works, I just have to drive to Mamaw and Papaws house, because I can't get the dial up to work. Ugh!!!!

Home Computer Crashed!

Easter

Today is Easter, it end up being a great day outside. I got up and went to church this morning and even went to Sunday school. Randy my pastor started a new series this morning EPIC: Every story is God's story...every story is our story. Ever wonder why we are captivated by stories of epic proportions? Join us Easter Sunday, April 12th and discover an incredible drama hardwired into our very being. It's the greatest story ever told. (That’s from the website) You should have seen the sanctuary this morning; they had it set up looking like little pieces of movies, a boat for Titanic, Gladiator, Charlotte’s Web, Wizard of Oz, and Lord of the Rings. They also had other little things up that made it look like it was a movie theme. During first part of the service today they had a lady that started painting a picture of Jesus while we were singing, and at the end while they were taking up the offering she finished it. It was really neat seeing her paint it during church, I felt like I was watching Bob Ross paint, she’d get to a point and it looked good then she’d add something else.

I am still waiting to get back to work, I talked to my boss yesterday and they still don’t know anything on the contract we have. If anyone knows of someone needing work done a couple of days a week let me know. Just as long as they know I could be called out of town at any time (but will give them as much notice as I can). I just want to earn a little money to help pay my bills and to keep busy. Just send me an email: sandpaperturpintine@hotmail.com

So... I was told I need to blog more so here I am. I am glad spring is here, and the warm weather. I started attending Sunday school at my church, it’s called Foundation of Faith, we are studying (briefly) the books of the bible and who the major people are. It has been a lot of fun; we have started on Genesis and have been there for a few Sundays.

I also joined my church about a month ago; I had been attending for about 3 years and finally decided that being there is where I needed to be at. Randy is an excellent pastor and the church is a big church (about 400), but it’s not so large that you don’t know everyone or at least most of the people. Also, I have joined a life group at the church, or as Larry told me, you need a life (jokingly), we are reading a book on Heaven. I am really excited to be reading the book. I felt like I was missing something not having classes to take so being in this life group and the Sunday school class. I have figured out now (as much as I hated being in school as a kid) that I absolutely love learning and guess I will be taking classes for the rest of my life.

More Later…

Still Waiting...

For those of you who have kept up with me since starting my new job, well I am still waiting to get the call to go back out of town. UGH!!! Hopefully it will be soon, I am ready to see another part of the country. I will keep you all posted.

I am ready for spring, it's slowly getting here. I'm just glad I have not been called to go to Pennsylvania yet. (YES I know that this statement is a contradiction to me wanting to get back to work but I hate driving in snow. and they get plenty.) I enjoy the first smells of spring, especially when it's warm enough to open windows to air out the house.


well more later...
