Now that’s a broken laptop!

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

00033625

What would you do if this happened to your laptop computer? Head over to a computer rental until you could get it fixed?

Maybe … but I don’t think this is anywhere near fixable. Maybe the hard drives data could be recovered, depending of course what exactly caused this laptop to break in half.

I think this person probably needs a new laptop, don’t you?

I think I’d be really stressed if anything happened to my laptop. It’s pretty much attached to me when I’m at home.

I was cringing the other day when I was watching Men in Trees and Marin’s laptop fell into her pond!

He’s in a writing mood

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Chris and I are still hoping to get out of the house with our puppy sometime today. Oh she’s been taken on walks but we want to go for a walk somewhere different. In fact, our dog trainer gave all of us an assignment which was to give our dogs a new experience this week. Ours was going to be going to the beach yesterday but that never happened.

We haven’t gone out yet because Chris is finally on a role writing some new posts for his blogs. He hasn’t had much time nor been that into writing about music, guitars or musicians lately and his blogs have suffered from a lack of posts as a result. Finally he’s been inspired to write though, so he’s busy preparing some posts that will go up over the week.

I’m filling my time by making new posts too of course. Did you see that last one I posted? The people in the village of Galaxida won’t need any skin lightening treatments today as I’m sure all that flour that they’re throwing around will lighten their skin just fine. LOL Take a look at the video if you have a moment.

Social Networking is addictive and time consuming!

March 16, 2008 by Tricia

Yesterday I had big plans. I wrote up posts for several of my sites and I was hoping that in the afternoon we’d go to the beach for the first time with our puppy since the weather was above freezing.

Well that didn’t happen.

Chris got busy removing the last of the snow that we had in our driveway. Our driveway is long and narrow and we can only park in the very front part of it because it’s so narrow. So no – during that big snow storm I didn’t shovel the whole driveway. So .. since it was above zero and the snow was beginning to melt Chris moved it around and got the driveway cleared.

Then he was tired.

The other thing I was going to do was to manually update all of my sites on Feverishthoughts.com to the latest and greatest version of WP.

I didn’t do that either.

Instead I got an invitation to join a new community group on Bumpzee.com and along with joining the new group I ended up adding a lot of new contacts to my account. I started by looking at members who’d visited my sites or profile recently, adding them if I liked their sites and then I looked at their lists of friends to see if I knew any of the bloggers that they’d added as contacts. I did something similar on Blogcatalog a few weeks ago too.

I literally spent hours on Bumpzee last night! It’s amazing to realize how many bloggers I know or who I was at least familiar with in some way. It was kind of addictive once I got started. If this keeps up they’re going to have to make something like a drug rehabilitation center for Bloggers, except of course it would be perhaps a Social Media Rehab.

Hopefully today I’ll begin upgrading my blogs, well that is if I can stay away from Bumpzee after adding all those bloggers as contacts!

I need a few days in the sun

March 12, 2008 by Tricia

After all this snow I need a break.

Last year when we were planning to go to Vegas I got a membership with a travel club that offers great last minute travel deals. I think I’m going to search through the latest deals and see if there are any short vacation packages that we can take advantage of in the next two or three weeks.

Chris almost always has Mondays off work so he’s pretty much got a long weekend each week. I think it would be great to go to one of the Caribbean islands, Mexico or even back to Vegas just for a long weekend. I know that’s a really short holiday, but I think I’d feel better if I went somewhere that’s warmer than here for a few days.

Yes it is finally starting to warm up here in Toronto and with any luck all that snow we got last weekend will begin to melt away soon, but I’ve had enough of all this cold and snow.

Do you ever get that way? You know, just wanting to get away for a few days of sun and fun?

Dying to finish our renovation jobs!

March 10, 2008 by Tricia

I’m still stuck lying on the couch today. My back is still aching terribly.

It was a bit better at 5 a.m. I’d fallen asleep on the couch with a heating pad set on medium under my back and that seemed to have loosened up my muscles. Now though it’s back to being very painful to move around. Grrr

So I’m spending my time looking at the computer. Typing away at a few posts and also doing some online shopping at places like directbuy. Well … I’m just window shopping really. I’m trying to get some ideas for the house. You know for when we finally finish renovating our living room dining room and also for when we begin to renovate our basement.

I hope we can started on those projects soon. I’m so tired of living in a half finished house it’s not funny!

Have you been stuck living in a house with a half finished reno job for an extended period of time?
