Well, if this isn't the story of my relationship with technology then I don't know what is. Last week my jumbo Dell XPS had a blackout and it has yet to recover. First of all I should state, my Dell XPS is pretty snazzy, as my Dad bought me a 'gamers' computer for my design programs. Very nice thought... and it does have a great screen.... but the computer's size, weight and intro laserlights show has always been a small source of teasing by my friends. All I have to say is I think Jason Bourne used an XPS is one of his movies. 'Nuff said.
Anyway, having less than desired computer skills, I ignored the computer screen blackout and thought a few days of rest and relaxation might get the ol' girl up and running again. Obviously a desired plan of attack. Ignoring problems rarely makes things better and it never fixes anything. This is probably a wise statement we could all apply to every aspect of life. I had just saved a ton of images on my computer on bookcases and mantles (for you, Megan!) and also a really neat furniture line that a rep brought into Duncan Fuller a few weeks ago (along with about 5,000 pictures that basically document the last 7 years of my life). On Wednesday I am going to run over to TechBench after work and see if some professional TLC will get this trusty lap top up and running again. Please cross your fingers for me!

Oh no!!! I am so sad for you Miss Annie! What a bummer about the digital disaster, but I am glad you didn't forget about my own personal dilemma during your own :) xoxo
