Friday Meagan finally bought a laptop. She ended up getting it at Costco, because the lenovo website didn't have anywhere you could ask questions or call anyone. I think she likes her computer. She found out she needs to burn some recovery dvd's before she's supposed to connect to the internet. You'd think they'd include the formatting cd's/dvd's with the computer. Oh well.
I finally downloaded Windows 7 yesterday. That took forever, then I had to put new security software on the computer. At least Qwest lets you download anti-spyware and security software for free, so that's cool. I'm not sure if I like Windows 7 better than Vista or not. I haven't used it enough yet to know.
Yesterday, before I got a chance to put the security software on the computer, Cameron got on the internet. I guess I forgot to tell him not to get on the internet yet and he kind of freaked out at me freaking out at him.
I'm not sure how he shut down the computer, but when I tried to re-start it, it wouldn't start up. I was afraid I was going to have to install Windows 7 again. Ack! Fortunately I didn't have to. Somehow the computer resolved it on its own.
Yesterday - you're not going to believe this - we finally let Thor outside. It was a rather emotional experience for the entire family. We all had to say "Goodbye" to him in case he didn't return.
We actually had to put him outside, he wouldn't go out on his own. Once he got outside, he had to sniff everything in the driveway. He must have been in shock, not believing he actually got to go outside and we weren't going to chase him outside and drag him back in the house. Eventually, he wandered under the trailer and we shut the door because we couldn't see him anymore.
He came back about a half hour later. We were surprised. He was in and out the rest of the day.
Today we let him out again and he lost his collar. Goofball. Less than two days and he's already lost his collar!
Yesterday Jason came to hang out with Meagan for her birthday. He lives about an hour and a half drive from us, so I don't think Meagan will be seeing him every day. Jason seems nice. Meagan has actually found a boy that both she and her father like. Shocking!
Jason ate dinner with us after he and Meagan went bowling with some friends. David made his specialty - Chicken Curry Salad. Jason, a self-proclaimed picky eater, liked it. Even Jarom ate some of the chicken.
Well, I'd better go. Jarom's got to work on his temperate zone project that is due tomorrow.

You let Thor outside and he came back! Yay! Losing the collar I understand. Speed's actually kept his current one for two months.
I've never used Vista except on occasion but I love Windows 7, easy peasy to use.
Yes, we were happy Thor came back, even if he is a pill.
Today when I went out to the car to head back to work, I asked Thor to come home, but didn't really expect him to. As I was outlining all the times he could come home that there would be somebody to let him in, he showed up on top of the trailer, so I got out of the car and let him in the house. I guess he's more obedient than I thought...
aww... it was pretty cool. and i'm glad dad likes jason... :D we're thinking mb once every week or so...
