I've laughed (the kind that is on the verge of hysterics), I shed a few tears, I've raged, I've spent more hours than a person should admit, but my computer is FIXED BABY! It spent a lonely thanking day weekend in the shop waiting it's turn to get scrutinized and the verdict was not motherboard, as we all suspected, but windows related. The question was posed to me, "Pay $150 to us and we'll do it lickety split or go ahead and tackle it yourself. Yeah, sure! It's easy! No prob!" What they neglected to say, was, "NO PROB FOR A COMPUTER GEEK!"
(and I say "geek" with all the utmost respect and envy, for If I was one, it would not have taken me hours and hours.)
After one big long tiring patience breaking nearly divorce provoking search for the missing freaking cd key numbers for our precious windows cd and much fumbling to find software for our ethernet connection and to fix a mysterious entity called the bios, I think I"ve got it all taken care of. You probably heard the celebratory whoop from your house, no matter where on this great earth you live.
I feel like the forced computer breaks come just at a time when I start hitting my stride ,blogwise. When it's comfortable, enjoyable, sitting in a good blog place. Then I have time exiled and come back out of touch and bleary eyed.
So??! What's going on out there? Does anyone have anything they need to tell me? Did I miss any blog stuff that I should be aware of? I need updates and I need them fast! :) Poor bloglines told me that I have about a bazillion new updates today. I'm sure my little icon will tell me next "READ THEM, LADY!"
And I will.
Who has time to work?
Wanna see my Brooks Farm Yarn Scarf?
Yeah, well, I haven't gotten my computer to recognize my camera yet. I sat here and introduced them and everything.
"Computer, I'd like you to meet camera. Sony, to be exact."
I guess it said, "Never heard of you!"
I've heard that somewhere before!
No matter.
I have a bit more wire wrestling to do, it appears.
It is December 1st! Holy Crap! How did that happen?!
