Up and at 'em early this morning. Had tutoring at 8:00 this morning with the boys that I've been seeing for about four years. I say that, and we have had a heck of a time getting together since May of 2010. It's been really really bad...like this is the third or fourth time that I've seen them since May!!! I don't really do much with the older one,and I keep telling the dad that, but he still comes. I guess he enjoys my company! :) One of my Saturday morning appointments had a funeral today. You know, things like that cannot be helped, and I certainly certainly understand and I am honestly not complaining, but it does make it really really hard when times are set up and then for this reason or the other they can't come. It's not a big deal every now and again, but sometimes it seems like it's much more often.
Oh I almost forgot...I got a new blu-ray DVD player from Wally World the other day. I don't have any blu-ray DVDs, so why you may ask did I get one.... Well, I LOVE my Netflix!!! They did, however, raise the rates on the plan I was on. Not a big deal, but I wanted to reevaluate what I am using Netflix to watch... I actually probably am watching more "Instant" movies/shows right now. It works fine on the computer laptop while I'm working, but it can slow it down sometimes. So I ordered myself a Christmas/birthday present from Bruce :). I picked it up Site-to-Store on Thursday evening, and I actually got it hooked up Thursday night! Needless to say, I was very proud of myself! :)
It also has access to several other movie internet channels, but you do, of course, have to pay for the movies or shows and they are like at least $1.99 a piece from what I was seeing. Not bad if it's a new release, etc., but I am getting a month for like $8.99 pretty much unlimited Instant movies. A lot of them of course are older movies, but that is cool too. Either I haven't seen them anyway, or I don't remember them. There are also tons of old TV shows, and I'm really into documentaries right now, especially the Ken Burns ones. There are a number of those on Netflix Instant Watch now. They do rotate in and out some movies, too, but I'm not sure how frequently they do that (as there are some more recent movies on the "Instant Watch" list also).
In addition, there is access to YouTube, Picasa Web Albums, and Pandora...very, very cool!!!! :)
