How Much Does This Cost??

I'm feeling kind of 'down' today. Not sad - just 'blah'. My computer has been giving me the 'gears' and everytime I am on it, the little fella acts up. For some reason now I can't find the volume control on my task bar. It has disappeared. I have tried 'searching' for it but it does not want to be found. Also, the letters I am typing are not appearing right away, but rather just slowly moving onto the page after I have finished typing about six words - or more!! Not sure what is causing that either!  Computers! Bah! Humbug!

I was looking at a Blackberry ad this afternoon when some advertisements came in the mail. Before you know it, you will be spending all your time looking at this little box in your hand. Your life will be in your hand. Come on....really....!!! It would appear that we don't even think about the COST  increase in our monthly bill to have that little unit. We just think "WE HAVE TO HAVE IT (everyone else does) or so it seems!! Nope! Not me!! I like my 'hard copy' of names in my address book - I still send out hard copy birthday cards, anniversary cards, Christmas cards. I admit...I am slowing down and I do also send email cards but...in general...I am still old fashioned about words and cards (for now)!!

I wonder if we realize how much more $$ is spent for telephones, cell phones, internet, blackberries, voice messaging, HD tv, optic tv, etc, etc, etc. Ok, ok, I hear myself. I guess these are now all needs of the day. I'm just saying...

I took out hamburger for supper tonite (last minute thought). It is sitting in cold water thawing s-l-o-w-l-y. My hubby came home to tell me he had gone out with a friend for a buffet at lunch. He is telling me now that "he really isn't that hungary'! In my mind I am thinking "what about me?"  Oh I know that he doesn't want me to starve but remember....it's the 'mood' I am in that is talking now!!

So, here I am back on my computer 'typing' instead of cooking; emailing or blogging instead of texting! I guess I am just as bad as everyone else!
