Yay! I got signed up for summer classes and they start next week! @__@ I'll be taking government and sociology. I've still been working at BAM, and Ben is working on getting his own portion of the house turned into a 'man cave'. :p Needless to say, we have been very busy. Before Boudewijn visits in July we're planning to get the spare bedroom ready. We've got a lot of work to do... but it'll be fun. ^o^
I hope everyone had a good Memorial day weekend. I sure did! We did our usual thing where we go to lake Gladewater and spend a few hours there. We roasted hot dogs and snacked on chips and juice. <3 It was sooooo good too. When we got home I roasted marshmellows over my gas stove... it's sort've become a new strange habbit of mine. o_O; It all started when I got the crazy idea to roast marshmellows over scented candles...
*insert long story about marshmellows cooked over scented candles here*
... and that's how I got into roasted marshmellows over my gas stove. I highly recommend it, it's fun! ;p *burns her kitchen down in 5 minutes*

Yahoo!
Yaaay... I got my macbook back and it works perfectly! I have absolutely no complaints about the Genious Bar at the Apple store. <3 Right now I'm spending the weekend with my Mom in Grapevine again. I needed to pick up my mac but it was also Mother's Day weekend so I thought it would be a good time to visit. This afternoon we will be visiting my grandparents on my Mom's side of the family. I'm looking foward to the visit since I haven't seen them in about 3 months or so.
AHHH! LOOK OUT!
Oh, it's just a gerbil. I was scared for a minute there. ;p That's one of the babies from the first litter. (and only litter, so far) ^__^ I <3 my gerbils! ... *ahem* anyways...what was I saying again? Oh yeah!
I'm visiting family today and then tomorrow afternoon I'll go back home. I won't see my Mom again after this weekend till June 12th, which is her birthday. ^o^ Then in July sometime I'll be visiting my sister on my Mom's side, and I'll have Boudewijn visiting me too! This summer is going to be SO much better than last year's. Now I'll I gotta do is get signed up for classes and fill out my financial aid paperwork. u__u ugh! I'll get to that this coming week, as well as moving my Church's website off my server and onto their own. Looks like I got a lot of stuff to do next week!

A visit to the Apple Store
So like, I'm sure I've probably mentioned before in this blog that I bought a used macbook, right? Well... if not, I bought one off Ebay for $700 that had a jacked up keyboard, cracks, and a broken optical drive. The reason why I bought it was because it had the full Adobe CS3 suite and Microsoft Office 2004 on it. <3
Sooooo.... I decided to plan a weekend trip to see my Mom in Grapevine. <3 I thought it would be good to spend some mother-daughter time with her and she also lives real close to the Southlake Apple store. I arrived Friday evening and soon after I headed to the Apple store with my macbook. I didn't even make a appointment but they took me anyway! I showed them the cracks and they said that it was covered, no charge! I explained that I was not the original owner and that I didn't have Applecare nor any warranty on the machine but they said they would still fix it for free. After they looked up the information on the macbook they discovered that it WAS covered by Applecare till this September. So while I was at it I got them to replace the keyboard AND the optical drive. ^__~ Turns out the problem wasn't with the actual drive though, it was the bottom case. So I had to leave my macbook there to be shipped off for a week to get the case switched out. *phew!* I'm just overwhelmed with joy... I couldn't beleive how fantastic their customer service was! It was definitly the best experience I ever had with getting a computer fixed. I suppose that may be one of the reasons why Apple charges more for their computers... they have to pay a lot for replacing people's macs at no charge with applecare or recalls. When I got the receit for the super drive and top case replacement the charges would've been $530 but I got it for $0. ;D I'm still waiting to hear back from them about the bottom case replacement... who knows how much that WOULD have costed me! I hope I get my mac back soon... I miss it. ;__;
