Ye gods! I was thinking just a minute go that I had a package from Drugstore.com that hadn’t arrived yet, so I checked UPS and it said it had been delivered about 45 minutes ago. Hmm. So I go look on the carport and there are two boxes, both of which look like they were used for practicing what not to do with packages.
In fact, one had obviously been resealed! Thankfully, nothing was missing from that box. The other box was a replacement box of jewel cases from Staples because I’d had some that arrived broken two weeks ago! Sheesh.
Well, I just opened the box of jewel cases and amazingly none of them seem to be broken! Yay!!!
And other good news, I got my new wireless ergonomic keyboard this morning. Woohoo!!!
But annoyingly (you knew it wouldn’t be perfect, didn’t you?
) my laptop only has two USB ports. My Bluetooth adapter is plugged into one. Now the doohickey for the wireless keyboard and mouse (which I have yet to figure out how to put the batteries in
) is in the other. The problem, you ask? Now I have to unplug something whenever I want to use the printer.
I wrote about two pages last night, I think, but I haven’t keyed it in yet since I’ve been trying to get the keyboard working. Ah well, tomorrow’s another day for that.


Wow, you got lots of new things, Tori! And I know what you mean about the keyboard USB ports. That’s why I have hub to plug in all my extra techie stuff. :wink:

I love packages, and goodies that come inside. Have fun.

Don’t you love getting mail and packages, even when you know what’s inside???

My mail man throws my Amazon boxes across my porch so he doesn’t have to open my gate. Thank God I don’t order anything from the Franklin Mint :shock:
Get a little hub like Kelly suggests. I have one that plugs in and has four outlets. Wireless mice & keyboards rock. How did I ever live without them?

I love my wireless mouse. Enjoy that keyboard, too!

Kelly and Rene, I’ve got a hub around here somewhere…
When I wasn’t using it, I packed it up in a box. Now I just have to remember which box it’s in. Story of my life.
Got the keyboard and mouse working. Yay!

I’m glad you got the keyboard working! Now for the fun! Using the new stuff!!!

I love drugstore.com – it’s such a timesaver!
Now you’ve reminded me that I was supposed to order a wireless mouse a few weeks ago…:mrgreen:
