Is there an elephant in the room?
Is there an elephant in the room? No, no, thats a DINOSAUR! That's right, I am typing to you live from the other side of the living room on the "old" computer, the one the kids inherited when I got my new one in July.
Yesterday, shortly after I posted, we lost power during the snow storm. A few hours later when the power came back on, I learned that my computer was not breathing. :( When Scott got home from skiing, he called tech support and was told that it could be fixed with a reformat but I would lose all the data saved to my hard drive. NOT okay. He called the Geek Squad and ended up bringing it to Best Buy (which is NOT where we bought it, btw, but I dont trust the place we bought it since they couldnt move all the data from my old computer in the first place). Supposedly they will be able to save my data before they reformat. They will have my precious computer for 4-5 days. *sigh* I SO hope this works because I was in the middle of a rather large project and REALLY need that data and need the machine back ASAP.
Today was the dreaded Girl Scout cookie pick up. I didn't get notification of pick up time until 12:15pm... pick up started at noon. Gotta tell ya, I love the Girl Scout concept but man, cookie stuff is a NIGHTMARE and council doesn't do a THING to improve it. I guess they don't have to care when they make all the money from the sales! Yes, I am bitter. Every year I say its my last year and every year Megan decides to stay with scouting and I say "How can I not do my part?" when there are so many people giving so much more of themselves to lead! *sigh*
So, if you can believe it, I paper scrapped today! A manufacturer (that I am not sure I can name) contacted me to do some pages. They shipped the stuff overnight yesterday and I need to ship it back out Tuesday. Nothing like a little pressure to get your creative juices flowing! :)
While looking for some pics to scrap with, I came across SO many from when the kids were little and I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. It's truly amazing to see how much they have changed. I can't imagine what things will be like in another few years! Once I get my computer back, I am going to have to scan some of them in. You simply wont believe it.
Anyway, it's 9:30pm here on the east coast so I am going to wrap this up and head to bed. I didn't fall asleep until 2am last night and didn't have a nap today, LOL. Have a great night! XO

MMMMM Girl Scout Cookies are in!
You still need my photos or are you done?
Oh, yeah, Girl Scout cookie time. So funny how my perspective has changed on that since I now have a Girl Scout, roflol. It was much more fun to just have somebody deliver those buggers to my door, roflol!
REALLY hoping you're able to get teh computer situation worked out! And, I paper scrapped this weekend, too. I thought I'd forgotten how, roflol!
