My Compaq computer for 2 1/2 years bit the bullet on July 1st. It was so sad, I was playing on face book that morning and lo & behold I turn it on 2 hours later and it won't turn on. At all.
Serious tragedy...
So I replaced it the second I got back to NYC with a fancy HP computer and a fancy new warranty from Best Buy. (I love me a good Minnesota based company with excellent customer service, don't you?!)
Now I have the new computer, the new Microsoft Office program that only works on Vista, the new accidental 3 year warranty, the new 320 GB back up drive and the REALLY BIG credit card bill to show for it... (and here I thought I'd have my whole card paid off after this trip to the Hamptons I just went on!)
Finances.... Uugh...
On a high note - I had a lovely time in the Hamptons! I got to play with the kiddies on the beach, see the movie Wall-E (which was WONDERFUL and you all should see it!) and also helped with outdoor games, indoor games - Candy land & Uno, got some serious sunburn , ate ice cream every day and all around had a great time!
One of the familial near death experiences happened when I was sitting on the beach during my afternoon off. I was reading my book, listening to my iPod and a HUGE wave comes & swallows me, my book & my precious iPod. I was VERY scared for it's life and pulled it out of the water promptly.
I don't know how to do iPod CPR, but I did shake it quite a bit... to get the water out. I pressed the button - the screen hadn't changed in 5 min. of me pressing the button. So I said a little prayer to Jesus asking him to touch my iPod and heal it so I didn't have to spend another $250 for a new one.
And guess what kids - IT WORKED!!!!
I'm telling you. My computer is dead, but Jesus saved my iPod. I love a higher power who understands my need for electronics.
