HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Original title, eh?  LOL  I do hope you all have a wonderful 2011.  I had fully intended to get one more post in for last year, but as my luck would have it my PC is having issues.  Even tho' I have my trusty laptop, I have been spending countless hours installing, uninstalling, researching, chatting with tech support and generally trying not to pull my lovely purple hair out over it all! 

Hopefully TODAY I can get finished with it.  I'm pretty sure that a virus or something got past my Best of the Best that Norton has to offer software.  At least that's what it acts like.  Norton did detect some serious stuff and fixed it, but even after that and multiple full system scans, the PC is still 'freezing' up and acting FUNky!  I actually decided to just forget the fact that I had only a month ago, spent about $100 renewing my Norton subscriptions for the 100dth time (as I've used Norton for years) and uninstalled it all and am trying Kaspersky on my PC and AVG on my laptop.  So far the laptop is finding AVG agreeable, but since I'm still working on the PC I can't really say about Kaspersky yet except that it did find some stuff that Norton apparently missed.  But, as we speak I am running Kaspersky's Virus Removal Tool and am anxious to see if that does the trick!!  Wish me luck. 

Man, I had all sorts of things I was gonna write about and I'll probably forget half of it.  Let's see.......

Oh yes!  Murphy is a water kitty.  I did post pictures of her playing in the trickle of water at the kitchen sink, but it has gotten worse than that!  We have to be sure to keep the toilet seat lid down and that's all I'm gonna say about that!  But now she will actually get IN the shower with us to drink and play in the water and has NO problem getting all soaking wet!  Up until a week ago, she would just get in and play in the water after one of us would get out, but now.......she just gets in with us!  Funniest damn cat I ever had!  Puss Puss wouldn't even walk on the porch after it rained.  If she got one little paw wet, she had a little kitty panic attack!  Hahaha.  That was pretty damn cute, too!

AND.........Murphy is an awesome mouser!  She loves to go out into the garage and into the crawl space under the house (which is accessed from the garage) and every time she does, she brings us a prize.  GOOD kitty!! :)

OMG!!!!!!  I am forgetting that I haven't posted since X-Mas and have not gotten to show off my gift from Chuck!  He finally got me something that I have been wanting since about 1984!  Just guessing....it's been a long ass time I've been wanting a RUBY RING!!!!!!!!!

It is SOOOO beautious! Rubys and Diamonds......yum! So, I have myself a new wedding ring and will be having my original one resized to wear on my middle finger next to the Ruby. My friend, Debbie, was instrumental in orchestrating the whole thing and I owe her my eternal gratitude. Hee hee.
