So this morning, I roll out of bed, stumble downstairs and prepare to put in my obligatory 451Press posts. I fire up the laptop only to see… nothing. Hmm, that’s interesting. I hit the power button to force a restart. Then? It happened. THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Remember on Rockstar Mommy the other day when she talked about Dell and her own blue screen of death? Yeah, it looked EXACTLY like that. I mean, EXACTLY. And that was when I knew I was in deep doo-doo.
I handed the laptop to Kile who proceeded to shut it down and restart it several times before realizing that, hey, my wife is right! This here thing ain’t working a lick! So he took it to work with him to fiddle with it some more. But, he imagined it might need a new hard drive.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes. I called him later on today and confirmed it: a new hard drive is needed. He put in the request with Dell (dude, I’m so not holding my breath on that one). I asked him the million dollar question: “Will I be able to get some files off the old hard drive??” The answer: “Maybe.”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*sob*
Besides all my client files and istockphoto images, I also have all our videos of Liam and pretty much every digital photo I’ve ever taken on that hard drive. If I can’t get those files off there, I may just puke because that’s a tragedy right there.
Right now, I’m tapping this out on Kile’s laptop which is a fraction the size of mine so I feel like I’m trying to type on a toy or something. He loves the puny size, I am annoyed by it. But not annoyed enough to hoof it upstairs and fire up the desktop. I imagine we might have a problem come this weekend when both of us are home and want to play Runescape. And I have a feeling I may be SOL.
*sigh*

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
