Wee and fun. I went grocery shopping. Also, paid the roadrunner bill. Actually. I put the envelope in the deposit slot. Too long of a line. One would think that on Friday, they would attempt to have two tellers. Nope. Just the one. Normally, I'm alone, and I don't mind waiting. I like to have the receipt in my hand. I know then that it is truly paid. But today, the boyfriend was with me, and he doesn't deal well with waiting.

Grocery shopping with the boyfriend is always a bit maddening. I cruise up and down the lanes pretty fast. Get what I need and get gone. The only place I linger a little longer is personal care things. Like lotion or shampoo. It's a girl thing. We have to look over all the products. There might be a new hair miracle on the market. We always want to look good. Anyway. He's a chef, so of course, his grocery list looks a little different than mine. I don't cook. I don't like to disturb the fire dept. He's gotta linger at every isle, looking over the many options of the same kind of sauces or spices. Same stuff that was there last week. I sigh and scoot to another lane, pick up whatever else I need. I put it in the cart and scamper over to the magazine section. At the very least, I get to see what's in Cosmo this month. If it's good enough, I pick it up. I'm more drawn to computer mags. And. It lets him wander at his own pace.

He shakes his head at my choices. I just stick my tongue out at him.

So, the cold snap is back. Not as bad as last week, still pretty cold. I'm dealing a little better than most people. Cause four times a week, I'm out and about in that stuff. I don't like it any better, I can deal with it a little better. At least it's not as bad as my dad's place. He lives in WI. The high for the day was going to be -5. Not 5. Minus 5. That sounds cold. Poor daddy.

Oooh. I need to have a chat with the neighbor about his dog. Dang thing barks at everything! Our dog, he barks, we tell him to be quiet. He doesn't really bark now, unless someone is stopping at the house or it's the UPS man. He really hates that truck. I don't know why.
I'm in my office, working away and that dog starts barking. Now, it's not such an issue. I'm free flow writing. It's a little disturbing, but I can carry on. Sometimes I honestly have to concentrate on what I'm doing. The dog is not helpful to this cause.

What else? Ah yes. Save yourself some aggravation, don't bother with ArcSoft DVD Showbiz software. Aside from not working too well. The customer support really lacks. I guess I've been spoiled by HP. Whenever I call or e-mail HP, I get a very prompt response. It's comforting to know they are there if I need them. And it honestly seems like they want to help you. Arcsoft takes 72 hours to get back to you. And then, they aren't helpful at all Canned responses. I am so very disappointed with them.

I should be going. Get some stuff done today. I don't know what exactly. But I'm sure one of the 8 projects I've got going on, needs to be finished.
Take care of you out there.
Smell the roses.
