Sick Mac

My computer ("Mac") has been sick for a while. Well, since I got it really in June. The evil X showed up in the battery icon and the battery would never fully charge. I received a new battery from Apple but after calibrating it and it working for about 12 hours, the evil X was back.

So I finally caught up with the weddings I'm editing, I've backed up my photographs and I'm taking Mac in today. They tell me the turn around time is 36 hours to 4 weeks. 4 WEEK?!?!? Sheesh. I HAVE to have my computer back by the wedding as it is what we're using for the dance. And I'd REALLY like to have it back as soon as possible. I'm already losing out on one editing job because of this (the whole reason for me buying the computer) and I have 2 jobs waiting to be cut. Not such good timing, eh?

So, I hope my Mac will be okay and that they can fix him and send him back promptly. I will miss him greatly but I am looking forward to actually being MOBILE with my laptop. Something I have really yet to do.

I'm sure you'll have it in plenty of time. (usually more like 3 days)
It has never taken more than a week for me to get my laptop back from apple's service dept. I'm sure they say 4 weeks just to cover their butts.

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
