So we made a deal with Micha that if she could keep her room clean for 7 days then she could get a hampster. The next condition was that she would have to have her room each day to be able to play with the 'pet'. Well as you can see we now have a hampster so I am going to let her talk to you about our new addition to the family.........
"Everybody I have a hampster his name is Hammy. We have to give him some medicine in his water. He is black and white and grey. He has a rolling thing. I got him at a pet store. I picked him out all by myself there were 8 hamsters that I could get but I liked that one. I think that is it."
The other exciting thing that happened this weekend is that I got to buy a computer. Sunday Chris called me from the Ronald McDonald House and said, " There are some really good deals on laptops at Best Buy today only. Well that is about all the convincing that it took me to get out the door to get one. Now I could not just get the laptop because I was going to need a new wireless router to go with this. I showed up before the store opened and as I was waiting outside I kept seeing all these people show up. I called Chris and told her while I was waiting that there were like 13 diffrent groups of people out there but I was sure that they were not all here to get the computer. I was wrong though there were 5 laptops and about 13 people that wanted one. Fortiuntally I knew one of the guys that was working at the Customer Service Desk and he hooked me up with one of the $499 super deals. Cool as that was there was a HP there for $649 that had Vista Premium and 512 MB more ram but this one would be okay. Well after I got this one home it still did not run fast enough at all (512MB is just not fast enough for Vista to run) So Monday morning I had to go back to Best Buy and got a 1 GB memory card (so now I had more than the HP had as far as memory but I am pretty clost to the same cost of the HP and I still only have Vista basic (so I might be upgrading on that as well.) The funy thing about Windows Vista is that it came out I think on Jan 30 and here it is Feb 4th when I bought the computer and there was not ONE computer in Best Buy that had anything other than Vista on it. The computer that I got was in factory sealed box that was preloaded with Vista on it so it was like they had to ship every computer in the store back and put all new ones out. I have not really played with the Windows side of it yet so I cannot tell you alot about it, but I like the laptop overall. I think that I will go see what Vista can do for me.
