Computer Woes
Jul. 11th, 2011 12:09 pmThe BIOS update on my home computer failed spectacularly last Friday, leaving me without a gaming-capable computer for the weekend. Can you say "blue screen"? We have a teeny notebook that we use for travel, but it is incredibly slow and good only for e-mail and limited web surfing. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
count_gunthar, in a move to avoid any unseemly pouting on my part and aggravation on his, let me use his newly ramped up computer all weekend to play WoW whenever I wanted. This is why I love him (or at least one of the many reasons). ;)
We have plants and a working fountain in the backyard. The sound of the fountain running is very nice, but I wish it weren't so bloody hot outside so we could enjoy it. We are watering the hell out of everything to make sure nothing dies, and I'm sure my water bill for this month is going to be ridiculous. I'll post pictures soon (not the bill, my plants).
The weekend was quiet in general. On Saturday, we went to the gym, kept the briefest of tabs on Crown Tournament, went shopping, ate a really good dinner out at Pappadeaux's. I didn't leave the house at all on Sunday. Gunthar was good and went to the gym again and did a little grocery shopping just before dinner time.
The diet is going well for both of us. We've thrown out the bad stuff in the pantry and in the fridge. It has also forced us to start meal planning again - the lack of it is how we ended up with the extra pounds. Sunday is our weigh in day: I lost 5 pounds last week and Gunthar lost 6. I head to the gym tonight for another walk/jog 5k. Go me.
