Try, Try Again

Ok, guess I will try this again.... if Firefox flakes out on me again we are going to have to box!

• Got my camera, don't know how to use it, but I got it! I got a lot of reading to do on the plane, I ain't got nothin but time tho. I decided on the Canon PowerShot S3 IS. I'm hoping to bring back some decent shots.
  
• I bought some new DVDs for the trip, Bigmomma's House 2, Capote, The Italian Job, How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days (cough** bullshit cough**), The Corpse Bride and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. The later three are for T "- had to be fair and get some that a teen would like.
  
• I've been in the market for a reasonable priced sub notebook. After months of reading reviews I decided on the Averatec 1000 Series with it's 10.6 inch screen. I thought it would be perfect for my upcoming travels, and I found it on buy.com with a $100.00 rebate, $15.00 dollars off and free shipping!! After it arrived, I couldn't wait to get it out of the packaging and set it up. I noticed on restarts, I continued to get an error.... some thing about "boot disk" called Averatec, they told be bad hard drive! I sent that piece of shit right on back to buy.com for a refund. I have to say they made the refund process effortless. No more Averatecs for me..... you get what you pay for! I'm going to pay a few dollars more, and get this one.
  
• I read a lot of review on companies that provide walking tours in Rome. I decided on Context:Rome we will be taking the SCALA REALE TOUR: Roma Antica and the SCALA REALE TOUR: Taste of Italy Wine Walk I want "T" to get some knowledge while we are there. But we do plan to discover the city on our own too.
  
• My job is getting on my nerves....STILL! I got a couple of things in the pipeline..wish me luck.
  
• I caught the final airings of American Inventor I really like that show. The guy with the very revolutionary car seat won. I thought the black guy with the electronic educational game - Word Ace did well, I wanted him to win.
  
• 1 day until departure for Roma Italia!!
