This morning I got up early and headed out of town to find ribbon for the jars for the flowers for the table. lol The bride and I found some really cool lantern type candleholders at JoAnn’s….and the great thing is that they were 60% off!
I then went to my sister’s house and we spent hours tying ribbons on jars. I could not believe that we had almost exactly the amount of ribbon that we needed for the jars. The last few, I use 3 strands of skinny ribbon on the big jars and they were cute. We used lots of different kinds of ribbon.
I left there to race home so hubby could go to work for a short time. I have spent hours and hours tonight trying to get my email configured on my home computer. I think I mentioned that this computer is brand new. No one will ever use Outlook Express but me anyway. I had to talk to 2 tech support people to get help getting them configured. I have forgotten so many of my passwords so I spent time getting them set up also.
I called to find out why I did not get my mailing label for my iPod. Apparently they sent it, but I never got it. Therefore, I get to wait another 24-48 hours to get another. I am not a happy camper. I called to ask them about that, then I asked if this was the number I talk to to get my laptop repaired. lol They had to send me to another number. After I did everything the lady told me to do, she determined it needs to be sent in. I had almost finished giving her all my info and the phone went dead on her end. I waited awhile to see if she’d call back, I wonder why I thought she would. I’m glad I wrote down the number so I didn’t have to call the iPod number again. I got a guy who finished the call and I think the news isn’t that great after I told him the other issues I was having. There is a good chance I can get my hard drive backed up before I send it in, though…and that is good news although I will have to pay for it. It will save me months of work, though. I hope I learned my lesson on backing things up!!!! He said they may just replace my laptop, which does not thrill me in the least because it won’t be the same thing at all. I am really bugged. I think I want an Apple like my daughter’s.
I had a very long talk tonight with the mother of the groom. My cell phone died while I was talking to her, though. It doesn’t seem like my week when it comes to electronics! I am the gadget girl and this is so amazing to me that I am having as much trouble as I am.
But…I can laugh and I can count my blessings! And you know the cool thing that happened to me today? A friend offered to pay for me to have tips put on my nails! I have never done that before. She just wanted to bless me. I cry these days at the drop of a hat, mostly good tears.
No pictures today, I am too lazy to get down on the floor to attach my camera to the tower. I might not get back up!

Things sure sound pretty hectic these days for you - but it’ll be worth it, that’s for sure!

Your wedding preparations sound as if they are right on track. What fun!! And you problems with the iPod–my daughter has had terrible problems with her iPod and with Apple. We finally are getting an Apple store in our town. Dealing with mailing and telephone descriptions of the problem was frustrating and non-productive.
