I Have The Weekend Off

There will be no posting this weekend, because I will be in Ontario, Canada skiing at Blue Mountain (www.bluemountain.ca). There's 17 of us total going from work. I'm excited because I got to practice my skiing last weekend so I'm ready to go. Supposedly last night it snowed 20 inches there so that should be exciting as well.

What else...oh I bought a new computer. I completely was not planning on doing this for another few months, because the laptops I liked were over $1000. Tonight though I went to Circuit City to check some out in person I had been looking at online and found what I think is a really good deal (Jay thought so too). I ended up getting an HP with a 15.4" screen, 2 GB RAM, and a 160 GB hard drive. Those are the same specs I wanted in the Dell but it was $1080. I ended up getting this HP for $620 after rebates which I think is a good deal. It's better than the $1080 and I like this computer. It's about the same size (l, w, h) as my old Thinkpad and weighs a little less. I'm happy with it. I bought it sort of on the spot, because the rebate ended Saturday. So I made the decision fast.

I'm going to wait until I get back from Canada to even boot it up. Actually I'm going to ask a guy that is in IT at work to just wipe it clean and start fresh with XP. I guess I would like to try Vista, but I want to get all that garbage off the computer that the manufacturer puts on. Hopefully he can get XP for me.

Katey will be watching little Walter and my apartment for me this weekend. She said she's going to take him to the dog park Saturday and I left her some money to spoil him with. I know he'll be just fine.

So...everyone have a nice weekend, I'll be in the great white north.
