I'm back!

January 19 /09

Oh, it's so good to be back to blogging!

Actually, it didn't take as long as we thought to get our trusty old laptop humming again. But that's because Mama checked and double checked and triple checked and went with the Dell Support Technician who sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Those techies at Dell should really get their act together. Half of them said we needed a new hard drive, and half of them said we didn't. And the second half was split on why the computer crashed and how we should fix it. One even wanted to charge us for fixing it even though it's still under warantee!

Poor old Mama. She spent so much time on the phone I'm worried her ear might fall off. But she learned a lot about our computer in the process, especially when it came to downloading software, setting up the desktop and different media options. Maybe she should go and work for Dell!

Anyway, while the computer was broken, I read and posted your comments from Mama's Blackberry. Did you ever try using one of those things? The keys are so darned small, especially for a dog with big floppy paws like mine. And then I had a terrible headache from looking at that itty-bitty little screen. I honestly don't know how Mama texts on it. Maybe it's because she wears glasses. Anyway, it's good to have my laptop back, that's all I can say.

The other night, Mama came sniffing around me, and said I stink and need a bath. I think she was just bored. She was cleaning the house like crazy so it just followed that I needed cleaning too, I guess. But I showed her - I abolutely refused to come upstairs when she called me. I sat and stared at her while she called my name from the top of the stairs. She was getting pretty ticked off so she came down and actually pushed me all the way up to the bathroom! But I really had my brakes on. There was no way I was going to that tub without a fight. Can you imagine that skinny little woman hoisting 72 pounds of stubborn dog up two flights of stairs? It was very funny!

I coudn't stop laughing all through my bath.

nThen I decided I was going to jump out of the tub and make her chase me ... I did it three times!

Finally, I shook the water off and splashed it all over her! So she threw a towel on me and the fun was over. But it was the best bath I ever had.

Well, I really did miss being in touch with all of you. So off I go to visit your blogs.
