Here's What My Horoscope Said For Today...

CancerJune 21 - July 21

"Construction on streets or buildings might make it difficult for you to get around your neighborhood today, dear Cancer. Traffic might be backed up for blocks. If you must run errands, either walk or get them done very early in the day. The work could foul up the phone lines as well, at least for a while, so you might miss some calls you would have preferred to take. This could be a frustrating day. Keep yourself busy at home."

And this is exactly what I did today! It's a mess outside because of our recent snow. And to top it all off, the snow from the last snowstorm that we had hadn't completely melted away yet. So I kept myself inside. Not only is it cold with snow everywhere but its slippery snow! And I'm sure that there is some ice mixed in as well! Crossing Cheltenham Avenue is hard enough without having to worry about finding some ground without snow or ice on it!

So today I'm inside at my computer tapping away!

Drat!

Thomasina was nearby and she heard me when I bought a lottery ticket at the Shoprite. First I think she was surprised that I even bought a lottery ticket (I have to confess that I was surprised too - but hey - the jackpot was over a million dollars!) and it made her laugh which in turn made me laugh and I told her that if I won I'd be back to tell her! Well I finally got around to checking my lottery numbers online and I can tell you that out of the 5 numbers I got one right and I didn't get that extra number thingie so I don't win anything - Drat!

I figured "what the heck" because the buying the lottery ticket only cost me a dollar. Well that's another dollar that went down the drain! I think (though) that I'm going to try again!

Ringtones!

I'm still getting acquainted with my cellphone but one of the things that I have found out is that I can't get new ringtones unless I get them directly from Verizon and then I have to pay for the ringtone(s) that I download!

Other than that I'm still getting acquainted with the cellphone. Just today I figured out how to transfer the pictures that I take with the camera phone and transfer them so that I can either post or save the pictures (however there's a 25 cent fee everytime I do that! (Nobody told me about that!)

My brother wants me to send him a picture of myself - and that ain't gonna happen!

I'm bummed about the ringtone thing though. I got this great clip of music that I want to use as a ringtone and I have got to figure out a way to add it - cause I wanna use it!

I got teased a little when I first got the cellphone but then afterwards Teresa told me that my cellphone number was the lottery number! Too bad I didn't play it! (By the way, Teresa didn't play it either!

My Brother Called Me Brilliant!

I guess it runs in the family but my brother told me about this particular job that he had to do for a client of his. It seems that they wanted to transfer some files and my brother couldn't figure out how to solve the problem. I mentioned a solution and that is when he called me brilliant! Well after I got finished laughing I told him that he probably would of thought of it a little later and the only reason why he didn't at the time was because he was trying too hard!

He told me he was about to take the computer apart to solve the problem and again I laughed because there have been times when I have felt the exact same way!

But its an odd kind of thing seeing that we are both computer-crazy and we will try to solve a problem - so much so that it becomes a "personal" obsession until the problem is solved!

I don't solve the problems all the time but you can bet that I gave it my all!
