Quiet Day
Saturday night just as we were going to bed a thunderstorm blew in and it started to rain. I couldn't believe that we got just over the inch of rain!!! Thankfully our basement stayed dry but I wondered about the people who are still pumping water!
Yesterday was actually a pretty quiet day here. We did sort of sleep in and when we did get up we had breakfast and then tidied up from the party putting tables and chairs away etc.
Crystal had seen an ad for a computer she wanted to check out at Futureshop so her and her dad headed out and did that. I ran to superstore quick to pick up the new Harry Potter book and that was about the extent of our day. When they got home from Futureshop they started to set up her computer and get it all going. We aren't really impressed with Futureshop at all. When they went in they asked all kinds of questions about what the computer came with etc. When they got it all set up they noticed that one programs she was told that she got on her computer was only a 60 day free trial! She wasn't very happy about that because they never said anything about a free trial. And then she had asked if her recovery disks etc were in the box and they told her yes. As it turns out you have to make your own disks. Also she paid them $40 to, what they told her was load all her software, when really the computer came with all the software loaded they just had to activate it all. Gary phoned them back and told them how dissatisfied that Crystal was and how they both felt that she had been very misled! She is keeping the computer because really she got a pretty nice computer etc for the money she paid, it is just frustrating that they weren't forthcoming with her. She really wanted to make her recovery disks yesterday, but the weather was so bad her yesterday and the storm clouds kept blowing in and she didn't want to get it started and then have to shut down so she is hoping to do that today.
Supper was so easy last night because it was all leftovers from the party, I love leftovers! In the evening Crystal and I watched a couple of shows we had taped and Gary tinkered around with our old Nintendo game making sure it works. Ryan asked if we would mind bringing it out with us. He thinks that Rawley might have fun playing with it.
Over the whole weekend I really didn't get much knitting done at all, but did manage to finish up one sock and cast on the second one.
