    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I really AM having a tough time using my sister's laptops.  They both use IE and I use Firefox.  IE tends to *take over* your various websites.  Worse, their version of Windows is the one that you have to give permission for anything and everything you do on the Internet.  It makes me crazy and very grateful that the Beast's brother told him how to turn that off on our computers when we had that.  We now have Windows 7 and I have to admit that it is a much nicer program...more user friendly.  But I am a devoted Firefox fan now and love the individual tabs for sites.  I can open any of my favorites in a separate tab and not lose the initial  page I am on...no more arrowing back to it. 

    Today we didn't do much of anything.  We stayed here at home, tried to do our usual things on the Internet (checking email, reading the news) but IE did some really quirky things and poor Babybrat actually had forgotten her password to get onto Pogo.  We spent the day kidding her about it when Pogo emailed it to her and she felt so dumb.  I told her we would check out her memory by asking her what the password is in the morning. 

    Tomorrow is the weddddding so we got our envelopes ready with the money for the kids today and put it in our purses so there is no chance of forgetting them.  We are leaving a bit early because Babybrat has this cute pair of Earth shoe sandals she bought at their local Walmart.  I always check those out at our Walmart and we haven't had them there.  It has to be they sell different styles in different areas.  I want a pair so we will stop and check to see if there's one in my size.  I usually buy a new pair of Earth shoe sandals every year.  I hadn't found a pair that appealed to me yet but I so love how comfortable they are.

    Love you all and I wish you great weather and some fun for your weekend.  The wedding is at 3 and reception immediately afterward.  We should be home early so I will make the attempt to get the blog up at my usual time.  Keep your fingers crossed .
