So, if the bizarre feet of snow weren’t enough, it is now officially winter in Tillamook. I.E. It’s flooding! Supposedly the Wilson was going to crest at 19 feet and you have to take detours to get to the other side of town. Woohoo…
Anyway, Becky and I are sitting at Main Street listening to the arcade machine noises (the techno version of The Simpson’s theme) and I’m finally getting to use internet of proper speeds that I’m borrowing from the Radio Shack down the way. How sad is it when the Starbucks in this town doesn’t even have wifi?
And, now for the exciting part! I’m typing on my new mini notebook! It’s an Acer Aspire One, and it’s beautiful and so far very lovely to use. I think it’s a pretty quick and powerful little thing too. I’m a little irked it doesn’t come with office to stay, only a 60 day trial. Grrrr.
Happy 2009! I’m still in Tillamook for a couple weeks, Mom and I have big intentions for housework and improvements. We might paint, we will clean out and I’m not sure what all else she has planned.
Okay, much else to do unfortunately and no idea how long this whole borrowed internet thing will last…
yours,
Alaina
hehe that is me………
I also have an Aspire One.. nice little machine! Oh and I can fix that little problem 😉 Just tell me where to send the disc. You’ll then either need an external CD drive, or copy the files onto a USB drive or SDcard for getting it on the One. Or share another computer’s drive and use it via the network.
You are so very cool. You are definitely my techie hero extraordinaire! I’ll send you my address when I get back. Thanks.
