Unlike most of my very inspiring bloggers mine is a very sporadic and homely one. I totally love reading about p0litics and economics on my busy homeschool moms' blogs but I tend to stick with easy stuff. I am no fun, am I? Well, I feel not very fun right now! So, if you don't care for any serious topics, but want just some good old easy reading, read on!
I should be in bed resting before a new school week but instead I am attempting to recover pictures off my CF card and it's taking forever. I attempted to recover all the pics using my husband's laptop earlier in the evening but to no avail! So, I am using mine now, which after this past week's unloyalty to me (it crashed a few days after hubby came home for a week) and it's taking even longer and it's burning my lap. Don't even buy a Toshiba, please,even if it's so dirt cheap!!! IT's the only laptop that gets hot a few min after turning it on. Yes, I know about cooling pads. Toshiba must have created those too! For my husband's Dell is never ever close to being hot! I got a cooling pad and brought it back, it wasn't working.
So, that said I don't know if Macs are more loyal. My Toshiba was in close proximity to a pink Mac the very same nite before it's rude awakening, or should I say my rude awakening to it's unawakening. I don't know. It must have really had a crash on that pink gal! But, praise the Lord, who blessed my husband with lots of knowledge and wisdom and who spared me the embarassment, the expense and the time in attempting to fix it. He was able to recover my em program's eaddress book! I am super excited! That's over 150 em addresses, lists of friends, addresses, etc. So, now I am attemtping at finding sites by memory in hopes to build back my favorites list. Not that I used all those educational sites I've bookmarked, you know. But it gave me a piece of mind, sort of. You know, that one day I'll do this witht he kids or that. So, my faithful friends-got any cool sites you want me to put on my favs list, please, em them to me! I have a very hard time staring at my toolbar that is so bare. Educational sites, cool photobloggers's sites, digi scrapbooking, etc. I love it all!
But considering it all, I had a really productive day. After church I ran the kids home to drop them so I can go to a baby shower! My first baby shower ever! I attended a wedding shower earlier this year, my first one too! But the baby shower was ever so special to me. ( I joked about another baby just to have a shower since I never had one with any of the 4 kids. Are you all teary eyed yet? ) It was also so very special because Russian was the language spoken at the shower! WOW! It was so neat! I met a Russian friend here last year and today I met another 5 ladies! We had a ball! I even edited around 50 pics in 30 min and sent them the link to the album. I felt like a million bucks. Then I ran to work out at the gym! I really feel like I've accomplished a lot in just one day. I also had a kid to take to a BD party but he was picked up and dropped off (with a sprained ankle though) so that was a huge help! I was able to enjoy the shower without cutting it way short!
Well, i wish I could brag about a successful attempt at recovering some pics but it's still not going anywhere. I was hoping that by the time I was through with the blog something would be known. I hate being in limbo though. I don't have many pics I didn't back up, and I was showing my friend with the hot pink Mac those cute softball pics and I had wi-fi there and I could have just uploaded them to an album and there weren't edited and I am such a perfectionist! When will I ever learn? I could have edited them later!!! For anyone that is about to stop following my train of thought-I am trying to recover pics from a Compact Card from my camera (pics that have been deleted because they were on the comp which had a crush last week). yes, you can try to retrieve pics for free. I am using a FREE program called ZAR. A very dear photo friend told me about it when I had my previous attack of deleting some pics off my card accidentally. But, I've been using this card since January, sot, it's got more than a thousand pics, you know. It's taking a while, but I don't mind if there are results. I've successfully retrieved about 3 months ago every single photo I've taken on that card! Sweet, huh?
Ok, that's all for now. I really do want to blog about our week here with hubby but feel like a different post would be a whole lot more appropriate! Blessings!
