Recalculating...

The weekend was pretty nice. The weather was hotter than I would have ordered for a wedding. The bride was stunning as well as her attendants who were all so beautifully dressed in yellow!! This is a couple who met in college and have dated for twenty years. That would explain the fact that eighty coworkers drove three hours to witness the occasion. It was delightful visiting with retired people as well as some who had moved on to different jobs. And then there were another 150 relatives, etc.

My ride was with a close friend and we have been known to get lost on more than one occasion. A friend gave her a GPS already programmed to the hotel, to the church, and to the reception. Great idea!! Neither one of us had ever used a GPS, and I will merely say that 'Sally' [was the voice] and she got quite a workout 'recalculating' many times. We got laughing and kind of created our own Saturday Night Live skit using conversation and words that we knew Sally would have really wanted to say to us!!!

And lastly for now...I am recalculating in reference to my laptop computer. The motor now hums a bit louder and when I took it to Staples for an estimate, they said it would be $138 for the part, $50 to install it, tax, etc. The computer is three years old and the warranty has run out. They did not even offer me the option of renewing it for a year probably because they lost money on me. It makes more sense to buy a new one. For me, that's a hassle getting a computer set up and going with my personal history of 'computer phobia'. I have made huge progress, but ...what to do?

So I have not been using it as much because I don't want it to quit with all of my stuff on it before I decide what to do.

Any advice as I recalculate what I am doing?
