My First Virus
Well, just today I finally got the distinction of having a virus attachment sent to me! Fortunately having heard so much about these things I was able to spot it. I still haven’t received a Nigerian email asking me to transfer millions of dollars yet but I don’t need one.
The cruise is coming and packing is looming above the horizan. I have shopped, shopped, shopped but something occurred to me, with all of the stuff my Mom is taking with her(She is actually bringing flower arrangements and a toothbrush holder with her, It’s a five star cruise ship even! And the amount of clothes she’s taking… At least she is leaving the kitchen sink behind) I will be carrying nearly everything I’m bringing if not more. Soooo I am thinking that “Packing Lightly” might be a nice idea. Besides since I don’t think security would let me bring any of my swords with me I really have no need for a big suitcase. With a fairly large back pack and small suitcase I should be able to manage. After all I just need to bring: Eowyn and charger, Ipod and Charger, Cell Phone(It has a palm pilot built into it and I just bought Scrabble and Monopoly to play on it) and Charger, Tiny Kitty(A doll I have, she is very pretty and “Tiny”), Polly(My bear, very important), Lord of the Rings(I think I need a refresher course in Middle Earth Lore, I can’t remember who said “Now for wrath, Now for ruin, and the red dawn!”. I think it was Theodan but it might have been Eomir, also I need to learn how to spell the names because I don’t know.) and the Hobbit, my beautiful blue evening gown(Indispensable), and then some more clothes and shoes but I don’t feel like listing them, besides I don’t yet know which I’m taking and which I’m leaving but I don’t really want to take a lot. Just so long as I have enough and enough is not a great amount.
So I am really looking forward to the cruise. And it’s less than four days away, much less.
Also I have worked over nine hours in the shop this week, that may not sound like much but usually I do not work more than an hour a day with many days in which I don’t work. Considering the amount of money I spend and the things I want to buy it’s good that I am working more but a lot of my muscles are objecting to getting into shape.
Spending money reminds me, the Power Book is just a bit more than the Ibook so I might want to look into that later, maybe if it is much nicer I might wait a bit longer and get the Power Book, maybe…
