Ok my laptop is seriously out of control. Ok nothing is apparently wrong with it. It just seems to do what it wants when it wants. A few months ago I wrote about the battery not charging that was it first issue. This past month however I think maybe its just trying to make me crazy. See I was cleaning my kitchen a few weeks ago. I was listening to the laptop in the kitchen and it was sitting on top of my space heater (which was not on because though I might not be a genius I'm just not that stupid either). Anyways to make a long story short I dropped it while it was still open when I went to put it away. So I ran back into the other room and tried to plug it in to see what kind of damage I had done, and of course it wouldn't turn on. Here's the thing try as I might for about two hours, I still couldn't get it to work. Then I went to my sisters, borrowed my nieces laptop, came back home the next day. Then just for fun I tried the power button on my computer. Didn't do anything except open it up and press power. The crazy thing turned on.
No problems everything worked just fine. I was a little scared to unplug and move it at all since I was afraid it might never work again, but today I got sick of tripping over the cord so I decided to give it a go. It worked again. No problems.
Then my next feet was to upload some pictures I took from Christmas. That it appeared wasn't going to go as planned. I did however manage to re-load the needed software and re-boot my computer. Funny thing I notice after I did this. The power meter was up, I haven't seen this in awhile even though its always suppose to be on the task bar (Again I don't understand). When I clicked on it the battery was magically charged. I didn't really believe it because the computer hasn't even read that I had a battery in months. Now its fully or at least 90% charged.
I don't know when it charged itself up or how for that matter. The one thing I feel vindicated on is that the problem is clearly not my battery. My computer however seems to have a wicked mind of its own. Be afraid be very afraid.

shopping hell
I only ventured out of the house on one occasion to do some Christmas shopping. Otherwise I bought online or at work. However my sister wanted wine glasses, and though I tried to shop online but I just wasn't finding what I wanted. Here's where the problem starts. See I have what I consider to be fun wine glasses. What makes them fun is that they are different from what everyone else has. I bought them individually not in a set, so of course I thought my sister should have fun wine glasses too. I was then on a mission to find the perfect wine glasses. I was excited about this at first. Until I learned that I would have to walk to miles in the cold to get there (no car). Oh well I thought I bundled up and started out.
Now the walk itself seemed to take forever, but thats probably because I was on the phone, and my hand was going numb, so I wasn't really walking that fast. Anyway I went to the first store, and found nothing, same pretty much with store two through six. Now I did find some that were alright, and I might consider, but considering them was not making me very happy. Mostly what I was looking at were the exact same glasses with different names and different prices. I was starting to get crabby. No for the record I wasn't crabby to start with. After the 12 store or so I was just getting angry. The problem was I couldn't go home until I found them otherwise my sister would have no Christmas present.
The last store I went into was call Z Gallerie which at first I thought sold beds because of the Z. Like I said I was irritated and not thinking. I went inside thinking it would be like every other store I just visited, and was immediately surprised. I found very nice glasses as soon as I walked in. Then I found awesome glasses around every corner. Then I couldn't really decide on which ones to buy because I wanted them all. I did have to remember I was buying them for my sister and not me. I could decide though so I bought three different kinds which would make two different sets of four. In the end I was excited. Mostly at the thought of going back and buying myself some. I kid I kid. I was excited that she like them too.
