About two weeks ago this little yellow reminder started popping up on my computer screen telling me it was time to renew my anti-virus subscription.
Turns out they will “upgrade” me to the new version for the same price AND I get three licenses. Such a deal.
So I type in all my particulars and the new disc arrived yesterday. It took almost an hour to get all the old out and all the new in.
I scheduled it to scan at 2:00 a.m. and the hard drive is still chugging away as I type. I don’t know if that means it is slower than the previous version or if it is looking harder for viruses. Whatever —— it just better not let any slip by.
Tracey gets to sleep in this morning until 8:00 and I should have too but my internal alarm clock woke me up at 4:30 anyway. So here I am all bleary-eyed waiting for the coffee to brew and just looking for something to gripe about!
Make sure you scroll down towards the bottom today and the next couple days to see the pictures of Tammy’s new kitchen!

Well the dratted anti-virus quit grinding on my hard drive and it says I have THREE viruses.
So the old one was letting the little monsters hide in my computer or the new one is a little overzealous.
I had it toss all of them into the bit can. I’m not taking any chances. You have to wonder what kind of sludge-sucker would intentionally set a virus loose anyway.
I’ve always wondered if it isn’t the anti-virus software people dreaming up their own job security?

The phone just went off so Tracey doesn’t get to sleep in either.
Another employee who can’t do her job at the clinic without Tracey holding her hand. I can’t count the number of times she has had to answer the phone in the early morning or on her day off to instruct these people how to do what they should already know how to do!

Did you upgrade to Norton’s 360? We just installed them on our computers last weekend and sounds like the same situation. Took long time and after scanning, it found viruses. I wouldn’t doubt it if they program them to show a virus and fix it so everyone thinks the program is working great!

Hi Kyle Nope —— it is just Norton Internet Security for 2008. It has enough bells and whistles for me! I think the 360 is a step or two above what we have.

I received 3 emails from Tammy last evening — each with a new picture of the kitchen remodeling progress.
I am going to share those pictures just to make everyone else is as jealous of her beautiful new kitchen as we are!
But I am going to keep you in suspense (and not overload you with envy) by only posting one picture at a time. You will just have to wait to see them!
I haven’t written about or taken pictures of the kitchen progress. We got quite a bit accomplished this weekend so I took a few pictures. Tammy

Tammy, It looks great! I know you will really enjoy all the hard work you have put into it.
Tracey 20 Nov 2007, 7:03 a.m.
Thanks Tracey! It’s been a VERY LONG time coming! I told Dave with Andy graduating and having an open house, we needed to do some things.
Of course, he opted for no open house and then that would mean on remodeling! I told him there were no options!
I know that I’m getting tired of staining cabinets. We did the top and all was well. Well, the bottom isn’t going as smoothly.
They are cheap cabinets and it’s hard to get them to match. We’re doing the drawers again right now. They won’t be perfect, but they look 100 times better. We have xmas here with Jackie, Dick and Dave’s side of the family so I have a deadline for the kitchen! The rest has a deadline of May.
