Miscellaneous Updates: The Oscars Edition

After a nice weekend away in the mountains (more snowboarding, wahoo!), it’s nice to have a relaxing night tonight…or at least that was the intention….

Weekly Miscellaneous:

Last week, I mentioned how I bought a new laptop. For the past week, I’ve enjoyed it immensely; appreciating the speed and ease with which I could my work. That was until last night when Windows decided to go haywire on me. Fast-forward to this morning and the damn thing wouldn’t even turn on (you might have seen some of the pics I tweeted of the horrible screens of death I posted on earlier today).

One hour back at the store I’d purchased everything at last weekend and two hours of system updates and reinstalling all the software later and I think I’m back in business. This is the fourth computer I’ve had in about 3 months. It’s a good thing I’m not in any of line of work that involves hardware/software support–I’m starting to think I’m cursed when it comes to computers!  :)

Meal Plan:

Sunday: Homemade Pizza (herb/garlic crust, turkey meatballs, ricotta, broccoli and baby bellas)
Monday: Vegetable Kebabs
Tuesday: Chicken Fried Rice (putting my wok to good use..haha)
Wednesday: Apps for Dinner: Mushroom Turnovers, Terrine, Crackers, Assorted Cheese
Thursday: BBQ Chicken Breast Tenders, Salad, Brussels Sprouts
Friday: Dinner out
Saturday: Dinner out

    • Haha…..I love that one! I crack up every time I look at/read the Cookie Monster one, too :)

      Sorry to be so late in responding to you–for some reason your comments have been going to the spam folder! Boo…

  1. I'm jealous of your new laptop. We are seriously considering getting a second one. There are two of us and sometimes it would be helpful for us to be able to work at the same time!

    Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend!

  2. Sucks! I hope you can fix your laptop.

    I bought a macbook air last year, and so far it's still heaven!!!

  3. I can't believe you've had so many problems with your computers in such a short time! I am ticked off right now because my Mac Air is having a problem. NOT happy! Oh well. Where did you go boarding? I went this weekend as well. The snow was great!

    • Haha…it's kind of insane but at least so far, so good with the new one (granted, it's been a whopping 3 days…ha!).

      Good luck with the Mac–I hope you get it figured out!

      I was up in VT–the snow was great this weekend but the storm reduced visibility to a dangerous level. We bailed on Sunday but at least got a pretty good day in on Saturday. Hope you had a good weekend as well :)
