At first I thought it was as simple as my power cord failing. But then, a brand new power cord couldn’t bring my laptop to life. I then discovered the short in the power cord, shorted my laptop. I’m still hopeful I can retrieve my hard drive contents. (And for you geeks out there, no I didn’t back up. I stopped doing that when I stopped actually working a ‘real’ job. Lesson learned. At least there was nothing critical on my laptop.)

Now, I have a juicy, beautiful, sleek new Toshiba laptop. Beautiful. I want to shine it daily. I want to demand rules of myself. (No eating, drinking near the laptop. No allowing the laptop to stay in standby for hours and hours at a time. No more leaving laptop exposed to the destructive forces of three small boys.)

My husband bought me this laptop and now I have the happy of job of configuring everything, loading my software and basically joining the virtual world I have come to love. If I am more silent than usual, it is only because I am absorped in getting my laptop exactly the way I want it. I will be back soon.

Oh, and thank you dear husband. You did well.

Yeah to the state for taking all their kids. I just wish someone with a big heart and lots of patience would take these kids into their home and love the way they deserve.

Several days ago, I posted my list of 7 meals I could feed my family of 5 for $7 or less per meal and started a breakdown, by meal, of cost with recipes. Now to finish this list….. Read more »
