Go vote for Caleb!

So I entered a picture of Caleb in a photo contest. Go to this link: https://www.greatamericanphotocontest.com/voter1/index.aspx?referid=EmailFriends&p=1303442&x=.JPG
& vote for his pic. It brings up a bunch of offers so just click skip or pass on all of them. It also sends you a confirmation email that you must click on that link to confirm your vote. When you bring that up it brings up the offers again. Just click the skip or pass again & eventually you get to the end where you can look at all the other pictures that have been entered!
Thanks for your vote!

Misc.

Well, the good news is that I got my computer back without having to buy a new one. The even better news is that everything was still on my hard drive! Including pictures!!
The boys go in for tubes tomorrow at 6:30 am. That should be a bucket of fun! This is Nash's 3rd go 'round & Caleb's 1st. I think (not wishing) Caleb will get them 3 times as well since that's what Sam had too & Caleb has had the most and the worst ear infections & he's getting his tubes the youngest!

Not my month with computers...

So, I think I mentioned a bit ago about how my macbook (school laptop) totally crashed during the week before grades/report cards were due. Well, this weekend, my home computer decided to follow suit. Friday and Saturday when I tried to turn it on, the screen just went to power save automatically. So, on Saturday I took my computer into Computer Wise. The guy told me it was "either the motherboard or a bad video card." For those not so savvy with techie talk - crashed motherboard = buy new computer. Yes, I was sad. Not surprised though because my home computer is six years old. Well, after several phone calls today I have been told: the battery on the motherboard went out = $5, 2 new sticks of RAM = $5/each, 1 hr of labor = about $80, new case for external hard drive (bought Sept. 07 and it only worked for a month) = $40 but it gave it to me for $29.99 b/c it was their case on it that was bad (should've taken it in a year and a half ago while it was still under warranty!!!) = Grand Total just under $200. Oh goody! At least it wasn't a whole new computer! Bad side = they had to reformat my hard drive so I lost about a floppy disk worth of data (including some pix that I didn't have backed up yet :( ). Oh well, I guess it could have been a lot worse!! Hope you're having better luck than me in the technology department!!
