Sale of a Video Card

Home at a decent hour today. Too many hours at work. I had to escape. I missed seeing the kids so I got home before they were going to bed.

Right before I bought the two new Dell computers, I was planning on building my own computer. I bought an ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 in anticipation of building the new computer. I thought I was going to be able to put it in my old computer before buying a new motherboard. Unfortunately it required a 2x AGP slot and the old computer just had a 1x AGP slot. I didn’t even know there were different speeds of AGP slots when I bought the card. Anyway, since I bought the new computers it made the video card obsolete, so I decided to try and get my money back by selling it on eBay. I sent in the rebate and then I was able to see it for $115 on eBay. There were no bids all week and finally during the last hour someone put in a bid. Now I’m just waiting for the money to arrive.

Today’s picture is from Emily playing around the house. Lately she’s been hiding in the pantry and popping out with this really funny expression on her face.

Garbage Can Blues

Another long day at work. I’ve been putting the long hours in because this weekend I’m being left alone with the kids as Jennifer treks off to a church retreat. That’s right, I will be left all alone with the kids almost all weekend.

Yesterday morning a note was left on our large garbage can by the garbage men. Apparently we aren’t supposed to have garbage cans over 32 gallons. We have one that is 50 gallons that we bought in Austin and moved here with us. We’ve been using it for five months now. What made them all of a sudden not like our garbage can?

Today was Abby’s school picture. I will scan it in and post it here once we get it in. At home, Abby’s been not wanting to get her picture taken lately as evident by today’s picture at the beach. You tell her to say “cheese” and she says “no” and turns away from the camera.
