Hey, Karen Grace added me on Facebook - sweet! It also definitely is not ROIMU weather, since it's been cold the last few days. The forecast says it'll be sunny later... well, perhaps. Today, I plan to stay in anyhow and carry out my usual plans, AND call buildings. Yes, I must do that! No promising results from those calls, darn it! (but I did NOT miss the opportunity to go out as I thought I had - YAY FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH DAVID!)

Corey's also convinced me to download Google Chrome: yay for comic book explanations! "Google Chrome is out today (new browser made by Google) - I don't know that it is better than Firefox. :P But you can get it as of today... supposedly it's not a huge resource / memory hog like Firefox is. It looks like they make it work better by basically treating each tab as its own program... so if one crashes, just that one crashes, not everything you have open. You have a lot of tabs open at one time, so that's the point of this. It's open source, like Firefox, so there should be add-ons and stuff."

"Looks like it's worth a shot. :P It also has a task manager, like Windows has, so if one website is bogging things down, you can see which one it is. So you should get this and see what having 15 Scrabble tabs open does. :P Well, you've told me about having a lot open... I'm hoping there's a Windows mobile version of this. IE on my phone isn't all that great, and the Firefox mobile version isn't out. There's Opera, but that's Java, which is slower and requires opening a separate Java program and doesn't work well with the touch screen. Supposedly, they're making mobile versions of this one. All I see out today is Windows, though." HAHAHA! Erik never convinced me to download Opera, yet here I am with Google Chrome. :D

Also had a weird dream... it was set in Hawaii, just before Elaine and Matt's wedding. Matt's dad was telling the assembled gathering that the happy couple appreciated everyone's being there. He showed everyone the wedding program, which was in a curly font - the dream said that his last name was Marshall. (no idea what it really is!) Elaine and Matt took the stage to say that they'd come back every year on an annual trip to look at their land holdings. (these were industrial lands, with barbed-wire fences)

After everyone left, we walked the snow-covered sidewalks of Hawaii to a palatial house. My grandma was there to screen visitors, and Auntie Tracy greeted us with a "Who wants to look after kids?" My Sunday School toddler class was in there, creating havoc! Crayons and toys all over the place, with older kids (Rachel and Heyman) not wanting to be in their own classes - we had to look after them as well. They spilled the toys out of the cupboard, and Auntie Bessy declared that she had to go to the washroom. I went with this black-dressed lady, and marveled at the golden sinks and toilet! The dream ended when we were trying to convince the kids NOT to eat stuff in the room, and to join us in singing instead of squeezing our boobs. Weird... not sure if anything triggered it!
