Jonathan
Modern Matriarch recently posted a video of her son, Sawyer, sucking on a lemon getting his reaction to it, truly camera worthy. I thought, ‘we have to do this to Jonathan!’.
His reaction wasn’t nearly as funny, but it’s cute nonetheless.
MacBook Pro Review
Overall I am liking this laptop. There are a few things that I find frustrating.
In my old MacBook I could “right-click” by keeping two fingers on the mousepad and clicking on the button. That is no longer an option. Now I have to set it up as either clicking the right or left of the mousepad. While they may seem like a good idea, too often I am trying to just click on a link or something and the “right-click” options will show up.
I’m also having trouble doing things I could easily do on my old one, for example play Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. I’m not having much luck on there, and I can tell that the reaction of my mousepad is slower. That may just be the settings and I will have to play around with them.
There are a few things that I really do like. I don’t know why these all have something to do with the mousepad, but that’s the way it is. This MacBook allows me to do several things more easily using the pad. Four fingers can lead me to clearing the screen or seeing all the programs I have open. I can also use four fingers to change from one program to another. Those all have been useful for me so far.
So…, as far as the mouse pad goes, I’m at 50%.
The programs are just about the same. The dock is somewhat different when you do the “right click”, but not significant enough to make a big difference to the way I use the computer.
All Those Guys
So as I meet people online, and by meet I mean I e-mail them back and then don’t heard back, I notice that people are finding this here blog by searching for my e-mail address. Sure. It’s my fault, I know. I get it! E-mail them from an address in which they won’t find this. But, eh. Do I care? If they can’t take a little of this, are they really it?
Anyway, hi boys!
But the point of this blog was to say… GRR! I don’t want to get a masters anymore.
That is all.
Mini-Golf
Matt promised Nikki that he would take her mini-golfing and to take pictures with Santa. So we did!
The pictures weren’t GREAT but they were decent (the nicest is hers with Matt!). Jonathan refused to smile or do anything that had to do with Santa. He was so scared! But I got a picture of him with me in the picture (along with Nikki).
Mrs. Clause was Nikki’s teacher and Santa was her husband. I don’t think Nikki recognized them. She’s unsure of whether to believe in Santa or not. Her dad doesn’t help because he tells her it’s a lie. I think that’s bogus!
Party & Shopping
Nikki had a birthday party today at a place called Big Z’s in Simi Valley. The place was decent, but Chuck-E-Cheese is a better choice in my opinion.
After the 2 or so hours we spent there, we headed to do some shopping.
For a while I had been wanting a new down comforter to replace mine. Mine was a cheapish thing that I got 2 or so years ago at Kohl’s. While nice, and it kept me warm, it was a Twin size. Now with my full size bed I wanted something bigger. We went to Kohls and they had a KING size down comforter, 100% cotton lining for $48! Plus our 15% off coupon. The sale price of $48 had already finished, but they hadn’t taken the sign down. Since the sign was up they gave me the price! There weren’t any duvet covers on sale there for any decent price.
From there we headed to Bed, Bath & Beyond. I found a duvet cover there for $49.99, and with $10 off, for $40! It’s nice, has texture and is a nice red color.
I’m happy with it, because I ended up spending a lot less than I could have!
I’ve Come To It
I’m okay with it.
Although I will miss having him as my companion, I’m not devastated. It’s part of life.
While in Vegas I wrote this letter to him, although I never gave it, and in it and a hand written diary I wrote, I put that it’s going to be what it’s going to be and there wasn’t much I could do.
So I just have to move on.
Mika
Mika is incredible.
She got a great teacher-conference. She has written a wonderful story that I will post once I get it!
Long Night
But it’s been concluded. It’s over.
But, as is usual in my life, I am not going to sit around and sulk or mourn. I’m gonna move on and find someone else.
I’m going to try to still be friends, though.
No Class
I couldn’t show up to class tonight. It was too much.
A classmate turned in my assignments for me. I only have class Thursday and then Monday and I will be done!
Sinuses
After the horrible night last night, I woke up with even worse sinuses.
I did not want to wake up but my mom left Jonathan with me.
I’m not going to class today, I’m not up for it at all.
I have my last evil class on Thursday and then one more next Monday and I will be done. I am quite grateful for that.
I don’t want to talk about last night. Not now, not ever.
I had fun in Vegas and left with a $5 gain. Pretty cool to go and not loose any money! Now I’ll use that money to buy a case for my laptop so it doesn’t get scratched up.
My sinuses make me sleepy and headachy.
