No more promises!!!

That's it... no more blog post promises!  Every time I say I'm back on the wagon, I quickly fall off.  I'll try a reverse psychology method on myself to see if I'll post more often this way.  So, I'm done postin'!  ;-)

My last post was about 2 months ago.  And although I haven't been taking as many pictures either, I do have some I'd love to share with you.  But I can't.

My desktop computer has been acting "strange" for about 6 months.  During this time, I'm pretty sure I said no less than 6 times that I need to save all of my files/pictures to a cloud drive so I could get to them anytime from anywhere.  Around 2/10, I told Dan I was seriously thinking about getting a new laptop to replace my slowly dying computer. 

On 2/15, Dan gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday... YAY!  (Anyone who knows me, knows I'm an Amazon junkie!) 

The morning of 2/16 my computer officially died.  Specifically the video card went out - the screen was all psychedelic and jumping all over the place.  Fortunately, my hard drives are fine, I just can't see to get the data off.  First, I ordered a new laptop using my gift card!  Then I ordered a hard drive enclosure for my hard drive which will act like an external hard drive.  But then Amazon updated me that they were out and didn't know when they would be back in.  Yesterday (5 weeks later), I got an email telling me they're back in and will ship soon!  All this was to say that I'll be able to get to my pictures soon!

Now you're probably thinking, "yeah, but couldn't she at least be posting new pictures she's taken"?  Well, you see, funny story!  Not really.  When disconnecting my old computer and setting up the new laptop, I lost my camera cable.  Correction: not really lost, just temporarily misplaced.  BUT, I found it this morning.

This whole series of events is what triggered my brain that I really need to do a blog post.  So, here's your post.  Sans pictures, but a post none-the-less.
