Our computer has crashed. Yesterday I turn on my computer and I get an application error, then another, then another, and they go on and on until I get the blue screen of death. Time to call Dell Support. Prince Charming takes over and I hop in the shower thinking that as soon as I get out, all will be right in the world and I will have access to all of my computer stuff. Much to my dismay, Prince Charming pokes his head into the bathroom and says it can be fixed, but we will most likely lose everything. I start to cry as I think about the thousands of pictures that will disappear simply because I am too lazy to back everything up onto our external hard drive.
I think that someone (serendipity?) must have been looking out for those pictures because conveniently enough, the keyboard stopped working, so Prince Charming couldn't do what the tech guy wanted him to. So, Prince Charming said he would call back once the keyboard was up and running. After some chatting, we decided that we would take it to an actual person to help us salvage whatever we can.
The good news is, all the files are still on the computer. The bad news is, I have to wait to post about our Gingerbread House building party and the weekend we spent cutting down our Christmas tree because they simply wouldn't be the same without pictures. In the meantime, I write this from Prince Charming's laptop (with dubious wireless access) and wait for all of our precious files to be backed up onto our hard drive. The dude from the Geek Squad has promised that it should be returned in 2 to 3 days. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow!
All of a sudden the Mac we want to get has moved to the top of our priority list. Prince Charming has plans to visit the Apple store this week.
