I have so much to blog about from vacation and I have received my first blogger award from sweet Hyacynth. But my blogging has been halted for a while. So though I want to respond right now… it may be a while longer.
While I was vacationing at a cottage by the ocean, a thunder storm woke the kids up at about 4:30AM. So we all got up and turned on the laptops and downloaded all our photos from the day. As the lightening let up and the rain continued, we went back to bed. HOWEVER, we left the computers on the kitchen table. AND THE ROOF LEAKED. DRIP. DRIP. DRIPPING directly on the little apple on my MacBook. There it sat in a puddle on the table. I thought it was dead. Since it came back to life maybe it was just comatose for a while. It turns on but it keeps telling me my USB port is drawing too much power AND THERE ISN’T EVEN ANYTHING PLUGGED INTO THE USB. And it reminds me at least every. thirty. seconds. It is rather irritating.
It has an appointment at the doctor Apple today so I will soon find out the diagnosis of my laptop.
I am praising the LORD that my external harddrive which was also wet does not seem to be damaged. Good thing, because I have 30,000+ photos on it and I have never printed anything. (and it is not backed up anywhere… INSANITY I know.) Including all my kids baby photos, everything from the last 6 years of our life, ministry, and people the Lord has allowed us to know on this side of heaven. The wonderful lady staying in the house next door and her daughter are also both MACSNOBS and allowed me to check my hard-drive on their MacBook. The library opened so it seems to be okay, although I did not browse the library. Hopefully it is okay since it opened without issues.
Guess I’ll be dumping some moolah into getting some photo albums made just in case or do I get them put on disc? I wonder if Dave Ramsey would consider printing photos a necessity.
Attempted Murder
How about you? do you print every photo you take? or do you put them on disc? If you print them do you get them into photo albums right away? or do you scrapbook them? Do you print your family photos and not your artsy photos? or do you print them too? and do you frame them? There are so many that I want to frame, I could wallpaper my entire house with them and choosing which to actually print and frame seems a bit overwhelming when you consider how many there are to choose from.
