The Mouse Is DEAD!

I suppose it's better the mouse died than the rabbit (you have to be really old to get that one).  There's nothing worse than trying to use the touchpad on a computer.  Yes I can move the cursor around like crazy, but most everything I do requires a right click.  There's no right click on a Mac touchpad unless you hit other elusive keys.

That meant a quick trip to my least favorite store in the area.  Best Buy.  They irritate me most because there's never anyone to help you and they lie about things like my TV will be obsolete in three weeks.  Heaven forbid any of their associates might be able to multi-task.

I LOVE LOVE my Apple mouse, but it only connects when upside down.  That's a problem.  The newest version is available but won't work with my operating system, which I can't change because several of my old dinosauric programs won't work.  Besides, it's a whopping $79.99.

I ended up with a Logitech bluetooth too small roller ball version that at least works, for half the price.  I can't complain since it's all I've got!!

As long as I was at Best Buy, I might as well hit up Marshalls.  I've been thinking about decorating the Lost Horse Ranch, although I've no idea how.   I was hoping something would jump out at me. The first thing that caught my eye was a nice RED Jessie bed.  She instantly took possession.  She looks a little possessed because Cooper got just a little too close to her newest prize.

In no time, she was settled in for the night.  She pulled the afghan into the bed and snuggled underneath.  I know I've said this before, but this is a weird dog.

It's a little early, but strike while the iron is HOT!  Somewhere in the store I skipped right over Thanksgiving (as did the store) and picked up a little Christmas cheer.  I decided to go ahead and put them up.  I always have very little time to enjoy the decorations since I'm heading South every year, so THIS year I decided to enjoy them for two whole months.

While digging in the freezer for something other than tamales ... I'm rather tamaled out ... I found some of those Arizona Ugly Steaks.  You can tell by the lid, I hardly use this great grill, but my plan is to change that.  These steaks are so easy to cook ... they must be because they came out perfect and "I" cooked them.  

I follow a blog where they cook just about everything on this same little BBQ, sometimes using that grill mat you've seen on TV.  Our Awesome Travels with George and Suzie who share their flare for bbq.  I'm going to try some of their recipes!

In spite of all my wranglings, we were up at 4:00 this morning.  I just keep telling myself it's really 5:00.  It's going to be a  L  O  N  G  month!
