HP laptop sucks

We got a brand new HP laptop in September and it has had more problems than it's worth.  We had to send it in into HP to have the hard disk replaced in November, because that died.  Now the battery won't hold a charge, so they are sending us a new one.  Well how about admitting that the laptop is a dud and send me a new one?  Two major things and the laptop is less than 4 months old.  HP sucks and shouldn't be bought from.  I will never again make that mistake.

Happy Flippin Holidays

This is supposed to be a happy time of the year, or at least pleasant, but it's not even close.  Holidays round here are stressful and unpleasant.  There are always the in-law problems which will not go away till my mother-in-law eventually dies, which will probably will be sooner rather than later with her more than a pack-a-day habit.  We tried to have a relaxing time with not going over, but that is more stressful than going over.So we had our crazy, stressful, regular Christmas.  Then we changed something, for new years we did nothing.


Absolutely nothing.  We had a lazy day, we ate, we slept, we had a nice walk.  It was a beautiful day, both for us and for the fact that it was +8 degrees today.

We needed a day off so badly that we had come to yelling last night before we went out to our NYE party.

We needed and it happened, this was awesome.
