More computer issues

I'm now on a first name basis with the computer repair guy. All is taken care of and the computer is functioning properly again. There were some crazy viruses that snuck in as my current security program was updating. They had to reconfigure my Internet after they found the viruses. Oh, and the computer repair guy asked me out. I agreed to lunch. If anything I've made a new friend and it never hurts to be friends with a computer guru. :)

Last night I went to Chaffins Barn dinner theater with Karen, Greg, and Aunt Garnet and a couple friends of theirs. It was fun. It is a big red barn on the edge of town. The play was Smoke on the Mountain which takes place at a Southern Baptist church in the late 1930's. They sing a lot of old old gospel songs. It was very funny and the music was great. There were 7 actors and 6 of them played the instruments. The dinner was great. They had some traditional southern dishes like corn pudding and turnip greens. :)- I actually tried the corn pudding (not my favorite) and they had homemade strawberry and vanilla ice cream. It was really nice to get out without the kids and have adult conversation.

The last week has been harsh.
Jordan had only one soccer game and she was having an off day so she didn't play much. Ugh! That child. She knows she wasn't playing great but got pissed cuz she didn't get much playing time. ?! School is going well. According to Jordan her honors Geometry teacher is an idiot. She has found someone to talk to in each of her classes and has a group of girls she sits with at lunch (when she can find them).
Devan has made a few friends and has been hanging out with them outside of school. He doesn't like some of the strict rules at the school. He came home one day last week and said he had detention. I asked why, bad behavior situations running through my head, when he replied that he forgot to turn in his homework, it was sitting in the middle of his bedroom floor. So he had to go to detention for 1/2 hour for not turning in his homework. He was really bummed. He said he didn't want to get that sort of reputation (with the other students) in only his second week there.
The heat index is still over 100 degrees. It's been about three weeks now (I think). Oh, wait, there was one day that it was only 99. We are also in a drought. Thunder showers happen very quickly here and they usually get them all throughout the summer but this month -nothing so we are on a tight water restriction. Due to the a fore mentioned restriction, they have closed the pool. It's lovely that we can't go swim on a really hot day, no really it is, who needs to cool off in a pool, we'll just use more electricity and stay inside in the air conditioning.

Gotta go check my single and dating in Franklin account now (yes I'm kidding). ;) Love you all.

It's about time you posted! I was beginning to worry about you. :)

Hope you stay cool out there. We're heating up here now (now that's it the END of summer!)...I think it was like 91 here when I left work today. Bleh! You know how much I love the heat...NOT! It makes me crabby!

Hugs!
