If I am MIA..

My laptop has decided to expire. Pieces of the plastic are literally disintegrating inside it. Buttons are popping off like mad. The screen flashes random colors and the keyboard stopped working, but never fear, I will still be blogging. On a much older and slower computer.

addled laptops and robot brains

I haven't been online much this week. My laptop is having issues. Even stranger, my robot vacuum cleaner has issues at the exact moment when the laptop melts down. It has stopped mid-cleaning several times. I took my computer apart yesterday, did a system restore, uninstalled yahoo messenger (which always freezes things up), dusted the inside. and tightened a few connections. It started working again and seeing devices, which it wasn't before, so we shall see.

I am working on a story, posting a few entries on Rare Bird Finds, and am getting giveaways/Girl Scout info/and school stuff together. Anybody want to gift me with a free laptop? ;)
Oh, and I have a parent-teacher conference today.

There is a middle school dance tomorrow but Monkey chose to see her friend instead. It was a close call though. I think she was hoping some guy would ask her. She actually wore a skort (uniform, she usually wears the pants) and goth eyeliner to school today.

Poor Baby

In a few minutes I will be packing up my baby for repair. My laptop. I'm sending it to the service center to fix some issues it has and to get a new ac adapter cord sent back w/it. It is still under warranty..thank goodness!
