Saturday morning again and I am entering this post using the new netbook laptop I got my husband for his birthday. Its a mini-laptop which makes it compact to travel with. Its supposed to be faster to boot and the battery is supposed to last a long time since the operating system and display are scaled down to use less power. We are still trying to get it configured with everything he wants (and let's face it, what I want, too).
    I finally booked the family cruise, whew! I'm not real happy with the rooms we got because they are far apart but the agent said they usually have some offers later to upgrade where we might be able to get closer together. The same day I booked one of my sisters found out she has to have to shoulder surgery. The problem: if she has it now, she won't have any vacation left to take the cruise (doesn't it suck to have to use vacation time when you are sick?). We flirted for a day with cancelling the cruise but in the end she decided to tough it out and wait until her vacations vests later this year. So its back on. 
    I guess I need to sign off as my husband is just about ready to go. We are going out to do some fun stuff today. More on that later!
