Monday Random Thoughts

So I'm still without a computer.  I have plans on taking my computer to the apple people and seeing if they can do anything for me.  If not, I will use Seans PC but I have to get all the virus' off of it first.

I'd just like to say thank you to all of you who gave suggestions on what to do or cried with me during this difficult time in my life. Hopefully I can get all the photos off my hard drive and Sean's computer will work after it is fixed.  Honey Momma really made me feel better about it all...thanks!!!

My ear infection is still giving me pains... but look what I did this weekend!

(photo taken from camera phone, horrible quality..don't judge me)

No, I didn't get a red chair (which is what I was asked when I posted this on facebook with the caption "Look what I did!") 

Since I don't post many pictures of myself on my blog I'll just go ahead and let you know I cut my hair off... like six inches!  My friend Holly, who is a hair stylist did it for me and it looks great!  I'm going to have to get some super strong hairspray so I can poof it up a little bit. I've had long hair for four years now and It was time for a change.  Plus, I think this style makes me look a little more professional than my long curls did.

I hope Sean Likes my hair...He left Saturday and I cut it Sunday!  He'll get a big suprise when he gets home!  He's in Arizona until the beginning of March and I would update my little "sean map" but again I don't have a computer :)  He's up in Tucson today so say a little prayer.  His first check came in the mail today and it felt so good to depost it into the bank! 

Birdie slept with me last night, like right next to me and she kicked me in the back all night long..and she snored.  So I got very little sleep, but I'm glad she slept good.  Sometimes I swear she's human.

Anywho I hope you all have a great Monday, and I am having withdrawls from taking photos, but I haven't had any time!!  I dont' know what I'd do with them anyway beside keep them on my card.  Maybe by next week I'll have a computer and be able to post photos on my 365 page.

My Bad

Every night before bed I take a relaxing hot bath.  It helps me wind down and forget the stress of my day and puts me in sleep mode. 

Sometimes I read in my bath, Sometimes I just lay there and relax, and sometimes I actually fall asleep!  Sometimes I add bathsalts and sometimes I add bubbles. 

Sometimes Birdie and Banjo will come lay next to the bathtub with me and nap and once Birdie tried to take a drink of the bathwater.  I had to get on to her so she doesn't do that anymore. 

Since I've been so busy lately I've started taking my laptop in with me and getting some work done.  It's a really small notebook Mac computer so it's light.  My bathtub is a huge garden tub so I have plenty of room in there.  I'm always careful not to get my Mac wet.

Until Wednesday Night. 

I've been pretending the past two days like this accident didn't happen.  Like everything is fine and that I'm not stupid but I think last night it finally hit me that I actually did drop my laptop into the tub.  I actually did ruin my laptop.  My lap top with all my photos on it, with all my editing software, all my music, all my wedding photos...MY WHOLE LIFE is in that stupid lap top..

...Oh but you backed it up right Jenna?  You saved everything on a backup drive so you don't have any problems right?

Wrong...

So I've had it open and upside down for the past two days letting it air out, hoping and praying it will work.  I turned it on last night and it worked!  

Kind of

The screen is no longer colorful.  It's very faded and water blotches are everywhere.

The shift key is evidently stuck along with the caps lock key because every time I tried to type I just kept getting this:  !@#$%^  AND THIS

I'm typing from my work computer, which will have to be my sole computer until I can get mine fixed but I'm screwed on the weekends.

Do you have any suggestions for me?  Can this be fixed or will I have to buy another computer?  Can apple fix this or the Geek squad?    Has anyone else been this stupid and taken their computer into the bathtub with them then watched in slow motion as it dropped into the water while you desperately tried to stop it but you just couldn't do anything but stare at it open mouthed and dumbfounded?

What does a person do without a computer?!  Without the internet!?  I'm scared...help me.

Ok blog readers, this just Broke my heart!!  I love dogs, which is evident from my obsessive blogging about my dogs but I love this dog for it's stregenth!  I got this e-mail today and I just HAD to share it!! I almost cried seeing this poor dog! 

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2 legs -

He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'.  But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.
She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself..
She named him 'Faith'.

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward
for him for standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk.
Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle,
Faith learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.

Faith loves to walk around now.
No matter where he goes, he attracts people to him.
He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and
has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is now a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being published about him.

He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the worldto preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.

In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction.I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyoneand that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.

Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.

A small request: All you are asked to do is keep this story circulating.
