Wow! This month has gone by quickly! Maybe not for some, but for me it has. Preston will be going back to school this week. He has been enjoying spring break and has been spending lots of time riding bikes with friends. Good thing....he's going to be starting track when school starts again. At least he will be in shape a little bit.
Work has been going well and insane! I have been working so much and FINALLY took my first full weekend off last weekend to go to state bowling tournament. It's been a long time since I had a full weekend off! It was a great time. We stayed at Harrah's which I had never been to. We bowled 6 games on Sat and 3 on Sun! There was some sleeping in between, but not much. I didn't bowl all that great Sun morning. Guess getting in at 3 in the morning isn't exactly the best thing when you have to bowl at noon! Oh, but what fun though! Several of us were fairly lucky at the casinos which made the trip even more fun. We finally got home around 10 or so Sun night, and thank goodness I didn't have to work til the afternoon.
Now I have this stupid a^% cough!! All I've been doing since about the time I got back from the weekend is cough. Part of it is from allergies, but I don't care where ANY of it came from....I want it all gone!!! I'm taking cough medicine so hopefully, it will begin helping soon. If not, I guess working for a PA is the best "free medical" advice I can get! My allergies have gone from annoying to insane, so I'm not sure there's any help for me in the near future! Hopefully, but not holding my breath!

My doggie ate my computer

Yep! That's right Mr. Blazer has gone and done it again!! This time it's NOT good! Let me set the "scene" for you all. Everyday the mailman comes and Blazer is bound and determined that he is going to "eat" the mailman! At first, I had curtains in my living room that he eventually tore down.....rod and all! My parents helped me get that fixed eventually although there is now not a curtain hanging. Ever since that time Blazer has been biting at the computer wires when the mailman comes. Thankfully, the computer has never been on. UNFORTUNATELY, Blazer finally tore the wires out enough that I came home one day to find all the wires out and the mouse "eaten". No, not really eaten, but enough of the wire messed up that I thought going and buying a new one would fix the problem. Oh no! This of course was the least of my worries! Ended up, I called a friend down the street to look at the computer. My doggie had done enough damage that the fan inside had come apart, not only that, but the "mother board" would not cooperate when my friend did several tests on it. I guess maybe I can't blame it all on the dog, although it makes for a good story! I'm thinking that when I get a new one, that I need to make myself either crate or leave Mr. Troublemaker outside. I also do know that the computer we had was pretty old, so who knows if he actually killed the mother board or not. Having said all this, that is why I haven't blogged for so long again. Also, I will now have to start over on my "life story" which stinks. Oh well!! Poor doggie! He just gets so mad at the mailman! Maybe if he didn't bring so many bills...lol!
