OMG! Hello Tax Refund!

So, thanks to paying two mortgages in 2009, I received a very nice tax refund. My first item to buy, a new laptop. I decided that since today was my mom's birthday, I would give her my old Toshiba and bought a new Toshiba Satellite E105. This thing is great! And what speed! The only issue I have is trying to get my old printer to install wirelessly. I guess that will be a task for tomorrow since it's almost 11:30 PM. Good night all and Happy Valentine's Day!

Rest In Peace Panda

My cat passed away this past Saturday. He was 16-17 years old. I have been heartbroken since hearing the news. I was not in town when he died, which made it so much worse.

Panda was the coolest cat ever. I know, every pet owner says that, but he really was. Everyone that met him fell in love with him instantly. Even those that hated cats loved him. He was fun, adorable, loving, crazy, and sometimes acted like a human.

I would like to send this message out to the cosmos and tell him that I loved him and he will really be missed. If you knew him, feel free to post your favorite stories on here. I'd love to hear them.

New to Ohio snow?

I live in northeast Ohio. Newsflash: it snows here in the winter. Yesterday we had one heck of a snow storm, yet people were not slowing down. I nearly got hit 3 times while driving the 7-8 miles it takes to get me from work to home. Seriously, it's called a brake, use it properly. Don't slam on it when you suddenly realize you were going 30 mph to make a turn that was sharp to begin with while going through a red light.

This morning I thought, since the roads were cleared, I'd take the freeway in. Maybe I'd avoid the idiots on rt 91 by doing that for a change. Nope. The roads were completely clear, yet I couldn't get above 45 mph because slow drivers were in all 3 lanes. I realize it snowed yesterday, but the roads have all been cleared and salted. There was no need to drive like we were still in a blizzard. Then, some idiot that could barely see out of their fancy sport utility windows, cuts me off as I'm turning onto Alpha.

Many, many, many years ago someone invented this amazing thing that could significantly increase visibility if used properly, or at all. It's called a SNOW BRUSH! Get off your lazy butts, out of your cars while they are warming up, and brush the snow off your car. And if you're too lazy to do that, do us all a favor and stay home and off the roads until it melts on it's own.

Welcome to my world

Welcome to my second published blog. I wanted to start a second blog, because the other is basically just for the trade shows I attend for my job. This one is all mine. I plan on writing about whatever comes to mind, things that bug me, things that I like, random thoughts, events, anything goes. Enjoy!
