sorchawenchWhy was I awake at 7AM?!?!?!?!
What trick of the Gods is this????
And what's with the whole not being able to fall back asleep? Not. Fair.
~*~
Spent my evening last night trying to help my next door neighbor get her computer back online and preferably wireless.
She'd *adjusted* her settings the other day.
Somehow we managed to get 4 networks showing now. And she is completely unable to connect at all. Don't ask, I have no idea. In my defense I was working with a headache. It was like trying to untangle cold spaghetti.
She's taking the computer in today to have someone reset her internet settings. I could reverse what I did, but I have no idea what she did. Once she gets her computer back to original settings, then I can get her connected to the router.
~*~
So....I'm turning 34 tomorrow. I'm not freaking about it. I was 34 last year, for about a week. Before we realized I was actually 33. So I've got a preview of 34.
I have to work, but getting paid double for it is one hella nice B-Day gift.
~*~
Been thinking about making a nummy dessert. For my B-Day, sure. But what to make?
I found some recipes that had my taste buds perking, so maybe one of these.
What's your vote?
