For all you Techies

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate,

First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter the command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html, download Tears 6.2 and be sure to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If those applications work as designed Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, please remember that overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (It runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0-program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!
Tech Support

(…just a little marriage fun for ya!)

More Beauty

I couldn't fit all of the balloon pictures that I wanted to on one blog, so here are some more. The alien over the balloon is just for Donele. And if you notice one of the balloon baskets has a black banner hanging over the edge...yea, it was a marriage proposal. Cool huh..
Enjoy Again

6:00a.m on a Saturday--what were we thinking????

So for all of the week of getting up between 5:30 and 6:00 you would wonder what would make us sacrifice a Saturday sleep in chance--these beautiful hot air balloons. There is an event here called "The Old Timers Balloon Festival". There are an average of 40-50 hot air balloons that come to Roswell. And on a Saturday and Sunday morning they launch their balloons. We very much enjoy seeing them all because they are all soooo cool. We went in 2008 and one of the pilots came looking for volunteers to help them get their balloon launched and in return he took us all up with him. Not all at the same time, but it was still a super-fun experience. By the time we got there this morning though, all the balloon teams already had their volunteers so we missed out on that chance again. Oh well, it was still really fun to go and watch them. We like it because we can walk around very close to where they set up--like feel the heat from the burner close. It is fun to watch the process of them filling and launching the balloons. So, here are some of the pictures that we took. If you want more, let me know and I will e-mail some more to you. Enjoy.

Quincenara

So, a week ago and yes, I am slow, one of Nikole's friends named China had her Quincenara (keen-sen-yara). It is like the Mexican/Catholic celebration of a girls 15th birthday. It is the way they celebrate the transformation from young girl to womanhood. It was a good experience for us to all have. It gave us another look into a different culture and its traditions. The first part of the ceremony takes place in a church and the girl has a court that preceedes her. Typically it is 7 girls and 7 boys (plus her equals 15). She is escorted in and presented to the congregation. There are presentations of gifts--a kneeling pillow to remind her to pray always for guidance--a tiara to remind her that she is a princess in the sight of her Lord--a necklace, bracelet, and earrings to symbolize womanhood--and a last doll to symbolize the last gift of childhood. There were some other things, but I can't remember what all they were for. The birthday girl also wears in flats, and someone (usually the father) will change her flats for heels---leaving behind the childhood and going into adulthood.
After the religous part of the Quince' there is a migration to a different building where the "celebration" part of it takes place. Here there is a meal served and a cake cut. There is also a dance if the family so chooses.
The whole thing very closely resembled a wedding/type event without the groom. Like I said, it was a fun experience for us to have. Anyway, here are some pictures of it.
