Speedy

Well, it took a solid 4 hours to install but it's done! My computer turned on this morning with no issues! No stalling, no freezing, it just booted right up. It's going to take some getting used to with the new channel numbers and remote but as of now, I'm loving it. 

When the tech left yesterday I called Spectrum to cancel and of course they started trying to keep me as a customer. While I was talking to "Tia", she was looking at my account and she said, "Wow...you've been with Spectrum for 19 years." I said, "Yeah...I've been a loyal customer for too long while my pocketbook took shot after shot." When she asked how much I was going to be paying with Alta Fiber and I told her, of course she came back to meet that price. I told her that was all fine and good but A) I already had Fipotics installed and B) could she lock that price in for 3 years? Alta Fiber can. Of course she couldn't. 

BTW - just a reminder that I no longer have a landline so if you need to get ahold of me, call my cell. 

Yesterday, I mentioned that I was making no-peek beef tips. However, when I went to make the meal, I realized I didn't have the needed cream of mushroom soup in my pantry. I mean, what the heck?! That's a staple and I'm out!? This meant that I had to rethink my plans because the meal takes 3 hours to make. In the end, I sent Jim a text and said, "How about going out for dinner or getting takeout?" He was all in so we headed to Ramsey's down in Loveland. I really like that restaurant and the prices are really reasonable...even in this day and age. 

So excited for the weekend because Jim and I are going out for his birthday on Saturday. We're headed to Jags Steakhouse. Neither of us have been there for dinner but I think I've been there for drinks a LONG time ago...not sure. Anyway - I'm excited. Of course Jim's working overtime on Saturday but he said he'll only work until noonish. I'll believe that when I see it. 

Oh, btw - since yesterday's dinner got scratched, I'll make it tonight, which means I'll need to go to the store during my plan or after school. I might wait until after school since it's so cold right now. We'll see. 

Jim has his PET scan today at 7:30. Fingers crossed please. 

And that's all I've got. I need to get to school because I have a LOT of grading to do. Happy Thursday! Later!
