Action Plan (con't)

It took me another two hours to make it to bed. Numb3rs came on, then Flashpoint. Didn't you just love that necklace bomb - get yours on QVC. I slept well and beginning at 9:00 am I began to take care of some of the items on the Action Plan To Do List. I read through 3 binders of the Dillsburg Emergency Action Plan, getting up to speed with the rest of the members. Now I can finish the course I am taking on making an emergency plan. I had been held up because I was supposed to review our local plan. Since I had to return the materials I fixed breakfast, coffee, read the incredible 10 pages of the fantastic Dillsburg Banner and yesterday's Patriot. I'm not sure where it comes from, but there is one under the rocking chair on the front porch every morning. This morning there were 5. I don't get out much.

After coffee and uh, ... I headed out. Dropped off the notebooks and took the car for a bath. This ranks right up there with making pork chops when it comes to pleasing my husband. The car stays in the garage for the most part, but somewhere out there it accumulates what he calls dirt. I just think it is a little dusty. Of course there was that last 10 days at the R-Ranch... I decided to go to the grocery store next. I parked, then remembered that it was June and my AT&T Radio Shack place was right there. June is the month when mobile TV is supposed to come to our area. Georgia already has it. I get two months free when I sign up. I also wanted to drop international dialing that I have beein paying $27 per month for. I got it while Jay was still in Italy and then for when I went to India, Germany and Spain. But I think it's time to turn it in - for TV, which is only $15 month. But, things happen slowly here in Pennsylvania, as I have been very surprised to learn - so slowly. Maybe in July. Of course in Georgia they already had mobile TV when I bought the phone. Had to unsubscribe when I got home because it just couldn't be found. So I bought a computer instead.

Today. I bought the computer today. Didn't plan to. Had decided to wait until later in the summer when hubby and I would be home at the same time so he could transfer stuff from one computer to another. That won't happen until sometime in July. Now I have the perplexing problem of taking two computers with me on a plane to Atlanta and then to Indiana, back to the R-Ranch, then home on a plane. Hmmmm.
I got a really great deal. Actually paid less than I had planned. So, in the future you will get high-speed blogging from me. And videos. Now I can use my little FlipCam to upload videos. I have the camera but my USB ports are L---o--o-o-w speed. In fact I'm not sure they have the speed part - just low. That's pretty exciting.

About the deal I got - $689 on sale for $629 plus 10% off for the way I purchased. Then we discovered that there was not another computer in a box in the storeroom - so I got another discount for taking the display model which had only been in the store for about two weeks. In the end I paid around $572 for my new beauty. It actually was less to begin with than the computers I had researched from HP, Wal-Mart, Sam's and Best Buy. So, I am happy happy. Also got a $79 anti-virus, etc., package free. I may even let the Linux-Ubuntu man put OpenOffice on it.

So - for the action plan. I did make it to the grocery store. I do have stuff in the car to take to the church tomorrow. I will probably be up all night getting stuff ready for the copier at the church tomorrow, since I spent way too much time at Radio Shack. And, next is the nefarious vinyl letters. I plan to clear the decks at home tonight and do it on the dining room table - cut out letters that is.  Can't do the other thing with a husband in Germany.  What I didn't do was plant the veggies in the garden. It is incredible weather and it won't be dark for another two hours. I may just make it. I don't believe I should commit myself to too much. Then I would just find me "shoulding" on myself when I don't get them all done. I think I'll go eat something.
