Technology Whore

You don't know how glad I am to be writing this right now.
Last night I was looking through my exercise DVD's that
were sitting on top of the tv (not were they are suppose
to be, but oh well) and I accidentally knocked the
wireless router and cable modem off the top of the tv. I
ended up losing my internet connection and I had no idea
how to fix it. So, I didn't get to write last night. Thank
goodness it magically fixed itself overnight, because I
didn't want to have to call the Geek Squad to come fix
something I assume is minor. But, I would have, because
I've come to depend on my computer. E-mail and blogging
keep me sane. I realized this when I couldn't write last
night. Before my accident with the router and modem, I
would have said I didn't need the computer, but now I know
I do. I'm a technology whore and I don't have any qualms
about it! This whole incident, just lets me know I need to
learn more about the technology I've come to depend on.
So, I'm going to drag out those horribly dry and boring
manuals and at least try to understand some of the tech
mumbo jumbo. I understand how dial-up works, but I LOVE
the broadband cable modem and the wireless router, because
I don't have to wait to get on the computer, it's
lightning fast and the wireless technology allowed us to
put the computer where I wanted it, not were the phone
jack made us put it. It's a wonderful thing, technology.

Well, I'm going to go for now. Snookums has duty today, so
I'm going to call Gen and see is she wants to get
together. I know Amanda will be calling me later, since
she always calls when Snookums has duty. That's the down
side of being friends with your husband's subordinate. She
knows I'm not really busy, because my husband tells her
I'm not. Don't get me wrong, I like her. I just don't
think we mesh well. We don't have a single thing in
common, except age and that doesn't mean a thing. I just
can't seem to shake her. I don't want to hurt her
feelings, because I'm not exactly rolling in friends and
she is a nice person. What's a girl to do? Deal with it I
guess. Ciao.
