After I made my last post on the 4th, I downloaded Windows Office. Then I decided to create a blank Excel page to keep track of my bills on paper in case my computer went down. I got the page all created and went to print it. It would not print and then I realized I had not added the printer drivers. But before I could do that, my computer froze, and then crashed. I called the Geek Squad help line and got an appointment for Saturday which was great since hubby and I had plans for Friday. So about that.....

We got up early and loaded up our car for our day trip to the mountains. We went to my son's house to leave our dog so Minnie could have play time with her momma Rey and our grandkids. We got in the car, started it up and then the car would not change gears. They appeared lock. Hubby tried for over 30 minutes and finally called the car dealer. They were booked and short staff because of Covid. So hubby called Triple A and could not go with them because of Covid. I was back in the house cutting out some of my graphics. (Fussy cutting) I made myself a nice cup of coffee and talked to the grands. They were sad that we were not going after all and now Minnie would not spend the day. Luckily their grandma Jessica who lives with them was heading in our direction and took us home. I was a little disappointed, I mean I had fixed my hair and put on make up.(being funny here) But really, I stayed pretty calm because I knew how upset and worried my husband was. We were lucky it did not happen while we were in the mountains! Once we got home the dealer said that it seemed to be working okay, but hubby said he wanted a diagnostic done on the electrical. We are under warranty so no charge. But we are without a car or a few days. No problem, we had already bought groceries.  

My daughter picked me up on Saturday to drop off my computer and the tech said it looked like my hard drive crashed and I would need a new one. Luckily the one I needed was on sale, $69.00 instead of $99.00. They said it would be 3-4 days before I got it back, like last time. But Saturday evening they called to say it was ready. The tech that worked on it before remembered I had already been there twice so they went right to work on it so I would not have to wait. Sunday hubby and I  watched service online and I got a few things done. My son picked me up after church so we could get my computer.  Then we got some food, chips and salsa at Chilis. My son even bought some flowers for his wife from a man selling them off the freeway. He is such a thoughtful man of God. 

While we were gone, hubby made drumettes and wings in the air fryer. He also made several sauces to go with it. He also cut up carrots and celery to go with it. I also got a salad from Chilis, and I made some guacamole to go with the chips and salsa. Hubby enjoyed the game while I worked on getting my computer running. It goes so fast now! I also got to change my blog over to Valentines. I am so thankful for my family! It was a great Sunday!

Waiting All Day for Sunday Night

1) This week's Saturday 9 has a football theme because there's a big game Sunday. Will you be watching?
Yes with my family at my older son's house.

2) The Super Bowl is a big day for food consumption in the US, second only to Thanksgiving. What's on your menu this weekend?
Chicken, pizza, salad, chips, home made strawberry lemon slush.

3) The NFL has decreed that the Super Bowl will never be played in a city that has a median February temperature of less than 50º. Would your hometown qualify for the Big Game?
No because there is not a stadium big enough here. Weather wise we would be okay because I am in Southern California.

4) This version of the NFL theme song mentions the Steelers and the Broncos. During the regular season, which team do you root for? How did they do in 2019?
I am not a big football fan. I am from California so I will go for the San Francisco 49's.

5) This version of the Sunday Night Football song is by Faith Hill. She also has ties to the MLB, since her husband is Tim McGraw, son of the Mets' pitcher Tug McGraw. Which sport do you prefer -- baseball or football?
Baseball, it is easier to understand. I think football is too rough a sport.

6) Faith has performed live at more than one The Super Bowl in the past, performing both "America, the Beautiful" and "The Star Spangled Banner." What's your favorite patriotic song?
It like them both. I learned them in grade school. My dad has a patriotic LP he would play and we would match around the room.

7) She has a perfume line with Coty that was a big seller at CVS during Christmas 2018. What's the last item you bought at a drugstore?
Mascara.

8) Faith Hill is the producer of a talk show on CMT called Pickler and Ben. Is the TV on as you answer these questions? If so, what are you watching?
No, I only watched an hour today.

9) Random question: You've got a chip in your hand and three dips to choose from -- guacamole, salsa, and onion. Where does your chip get dipped?
If we have tortilla chips, we have salsa and maybe guacamole. If it is potato chips, we have either onion or ranch dip.
