Only 2 months away

Christmas is just a little more than 2 months away. My, how time has flown. It seems like this year just started but in reality it’s almost over. I really need to start getting some sort of gifts together for Christmas.

My oldest son is a big sports fan so I could get him some football gifts, like a jersey or a nice throw. He like the Philadelphia Eagles and his wife was raised in Texas and is a Dallas Cowboys fan. I would really love to get them each something for the teams they love but put her name on his gift and his name on hers. I would just love to see the expressions on their faces when they each open a jersey for the other’s favorite team!

But seriously, I have a large family and I need to get started shopping. I may not be able to get everyone something grand and expensive but I will shop around at some discount places and hopefully can come up with some really good deals.

Still on a laptop

I’m still using Andi’s spare laptop after I tried cleaning my desktop and removed the heatsink then bent some pins on it when I tried to put it back together. I should have left well enough alone and just used the canned air to get what I could instead of trying to make it spic and span.

The tower turns on and the fan runs like a champ but nothing loads. The USB ports and other plugs in the back don’t work at all and anything plugged into them don’t work.. like the monitor and keyboard.

A new heatsink will cost only about $20 but it’s just a matter of being able to spare that $20 right now. I’m also spending my time looking at netbook reviews, laptops on different websites or even a whole new desktop.

I’m just thankful, right now, that Andi had this spare laptop. It’s been a real lifesaver.
