~12-6-04~ Finally!

finally got the laptop back! yeah! or not.......i totally fuckered it up bad!!!!

since it is a hp, they, hp, install something directly on the hard drive to restore the computer when it screws up....you are supposed to hit f8 or something....too little too late now!!

so what did i do?! i put in my GATEWAY disc to try and restore windows, who knew what a grave error i was making!!! well, here the gateway disc installed files OVER all the hp files, so anything and everything hp was GONE!!

so i had to pay $65 to reinstall windows, but now i have none of the programs or software that came with the hp. why would they not give you an actual restore disc in case dumb asses like me totally screw up everything else?!

the guy at the computer shop said he installed something that i should be able to burn cd's and that i should be able to watch dvd's through media player. i also checked out hp's site and they may have all the drivers that i need to reinstall all that i lost.

worse than all of that i lost all of my favorites!!!!!!!! all the blogs i read, all the game sites i liked, all the neat sites i found. everything GONE!!! luckily i had a few of my most visited blogs saved on my regular comptuer, but i am missing some that i did enjoy as well. sigh!!! fucking computers. actually fucking me!!! why i didn't get on the working computer and visit hp's site to try and trouble shoot my computer before actually doing something is beyond me
?!?! no i know....cause i am a lazy bitch! i didn't want to get out of bed to try and find a solution. i wanted to lay in bed and try and fix it myself. i'm soooooooo brilliant!!

so anyways, hopefully now i can get back to posting on a regular basis.

clay made out like a bandit tonight!! we did his christmas shopping. so now i am officially done! well i still have to get mom's spa gift certificate, but at least i know what i am getting her. i may get a few more things for clay too, but the main things i wanted i got tonight. we are already taking back 2 things i got, but i'm sure we will find something cooler and more than likely more expensive!! i'm sooooooooooo excited for christmas!!! i don't ever remember looking forward to it so much.......well sort of. let me explain....

friday i was feeling festive, bob was working, so i figured it would be fun for clay and i to do a bit of decorating (remember i am saving the tree for christms eve) so i go down and dig through some stuff. and i see shit all over. yes, SHIT LITTERALLY!! mouse shit to be exact. and it is all over my freaking christmas stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! so i am way beyond pissed! i really didn't want to be digging around in mice's bathrooms!!!! but i really didn't want to throw ALL of my decorations out! so i was all icked out. i got the lights i wanted and the garland. they weren't bad. i'm pretty pissed cause the bag that had my nativity scene, i think was used as an actual stable for mice!! that was just awful, so i had to throw it out. i went back down, moved some stuff and found that the christmas tree box (the one mom gave me and the one i have been using) , under the basement window (with some hole in the sill) was covered and i mean COVERED in poop!!!!!!!!!!! this more than likely means that that the tree and everything in the box is surely covered in poop as well. it breaks my heart to throw it out, but even if bob takes it out to shake out or whatever, i am still going to be freaked out about it!!! we do have 2 more trees down there. i really like bob's tree, but it is sort of a pain in the ass to put together. my mom told me tonight that my aunt has a 7ft prelit for sale for $50. i may consider that. even though i hate spending the money since i already have 2 in the basement!!!! so i don't know. i told her i'd let her know tomorrow.

on a good note, at least i went down there and found all this out before christmas eve!!!!

i hate old navy commercials!!!!!!!!!!!!! and these christmas ones are even worse than usual! i think i subconsciously don't shop there because of the commercials!!!!!!!!

speaking of subconsious, well not really subconsious, but subliminal. i know i wrote it before, but i am still more certain that geico has subliminal messages in their commercials. every since clay was a baby, he was enamored by those commercials. i mean as soon as the commercial would start he would stop and stare at the tv. now my child will should out "geko" evertime the commercials come on....even the ones without the damn lizard!!!!

the same goes for mcdonalds. a commercial will start and he will go "ba ba ba ba", you know they little sing song thing that goes on at the end, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, i'm lovin it.

so i am positive the messages are there!

i really wanted to dicuss my shows from last week, but for the life of me at this second i can't even recall any of them. what the hell?! maybe once i start typing it will come to me....

EXTREME MAKEOVER-HOME: good as usual! i am still amazed at what the do! it is such a great show! so heartfelt and inspiring! like usual, i went through some kleenex!!! can you imagne someone taking your child away saying that you abuse him?!?!?! i feel so awful for that family!!!! what an adorable little boy and i am glad they made life so much easier for that family!!

FEAR FACTOR: that one broad was ridiculous!!!!! how in the hell did she quit both stunts!?! what the fuck?! i know joe was pissed! hell, i was pissed!! i know her friend was livid as well! what a dingy ass bitch!!!! i was also happy that the girls beat the guys!!

THE SWAN: how pretty did that army girl turn out! i thought she looked great!!! the other girl looked good too, i hated listening to her talk, but that only goes with getting a new mouth full of teeth!

for some reason i haven't been watching trading spouses, i don't know why?! what the hell else has been on?

on mondays i also watch american chopper and how clean is your house. those are about the same, cool bikes, disgusting houses (which make me feel much better about my own!!)

THE BIGGEST LOSER: i can't stand that jewish? new yorker? guy! god he irritates me!!! i wish they would have voted his ass off!!!! i'm still just amazed at how much these people have lost/are losing. i love to have those trainers for a week!!!!

BILLIONAIRE: i thought it was kind of lame this week. i can't even remember what the tasks were, but i thought the final challange was dumb! how in the hell does sining in front of a huge crowd or being naked in front of a huge crowd compare with climbing up a hot air balloon, or flying upside down on the outside of a plane!!!??? i mean yeah, it is fear and it would be scary, but still........

THE AMAZING RACE: love this show!!!!! hate that asshole guy and the wrestler broad!!! i felt so sorry for the sisters! i mean what are the statistics that that girl would go through over 100 hay bails for over 8 HOURS and not find a damn clue!!!!!!!! i wish they would have said if she actually got a few and just didn't see them. that was just ridiculous! i felt awful for the girl. when it seemed like the others came and got it in their 2nd bail, i would have died!!!!

we didn't watch dog the bounty hunter yet. so can't comment on that.

LOST: what a weird show! it is so captivating, and i don't know why. probably cause you just want to find out what the hell is going on and how they are finally going to get off the damn island! and STILL.....where are the monsters?!

i didn't get to tape that 70's show, i can only tape 2 things at a time, but i have to be watching 1 of them. i forgot and i watched the special apprentice they had on, so 70's didn't get taped. better that than lost, i would have been pissed!!!!

WIFE SWAP: funny! that motorcycle guy was a trip! and that hippie lady fit with him just fine! what a funny show! i felt bad for the hippie guy. that family just was not going to cooperate with him even though he did them a HUGE favor! i mean yeah the guy was weird and would have got on my nerves, but i just don't know how people can be so rude to others. the change is for a week people! DAMN! deal with it!

is that nanny show on wednesday's?? we didn't watch that yet either. it kind of irritates me. i actually get stressed watching it. and it honestly makes me want to have NO MORE children. not that i would let my kids get that bad, but you never know!!!! scary! yes it all turns out in the end, but i wouldn't have the nanny to come help me!!

SURVIVOR: thank god the women finally got smart last week when they totally dogged leann and ami, by booting leann!!!! that was soooooooooooooooooo great! and i was soooooooooo happy that eliza kept with the program and got rid of ami. i would have went through the tv and strangled her if she would have voted out scout!!!!! my fave is still twila. she just tells it like it is and doesn't take shit from anyone. since she is my fave i can't believe she has made it so far....now with that said she will probably be voted out next week. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THE FINALE IS SUNDAY!!!! ALREADY!!

APPRENTICE: what a trip! i still can't get over ivana dropping her skirt! too funny!! i like her!! i was sad to see her go. i thought it was ironic that trump said he didn't hire strippers.....funny this months maxin (or fhm or stuff, don't remember which one) has about 5 of the girls from the show on the cover and inside. and they have a lot less on than ivana did. that one broad who is on the team with jenn is one of them, so i am assuming she is to get fired next week. or maybe she became a stripper after she got hired?? guess we will find out in a few more episodes. he is getting rid of 2 next week, so we will find out who the final 2 are thursday.

ER: was awful like usual. i hope they are going to follow up on the story about the boy and his father. what an awful decision for a 15 year old, or anyone really, to have to make. from the previews next weeks episode looks like christmas, so i am assuming that it is the last one until next year.

TOP MODEL: yes, i watch this show. i just checked out a rerun on friday once since nothing else was on, and got hooked. i can't stand yaya or amanda. i like eva, even though noone else does. i think she is the prettiest. actually i think the prettiest was the "over-weight" one.

i still haven't watched joan of arcadia. i have the past 2 weeks (i don't think it was on last friday) on the dvr, so i have to watch those eventually.

well, i am sure there is more i wanted to bitch/talk about, but i can't remember, and this is long as hell anyways. so, i'll end it here! night!
