The Computer: An Update
Yesterday I drove the sick computer (steve's Dell) to Apple Valley (160 or so miles south) to have my cousin's boyfriend take a look at it and see if he could save me $300+ and fix it. We sat from about 6:15pm til it finished up at 12:45am!!! Paul tried several things initially that just didn't work due to all the viruses & spyware that had infected that machine. Ultimately he had to remove the harddrive, install it as a slave on his computer, remove all of our files to his computer, put the harddrive back into our computer and reinstall the operating system. Now it works like a charm! We *hopefully* didn't lose any files or photos and now our system is really running a lot better & faster...and the desktop is so clean! Whohooo! Paul also installed a virus program that is *top notch* and will continually run in the background as well as some adware software to catch nasty buggers before the get us to the point of no return...again.

Phone: update
So I may have found my lost phone in Fargo but as soon as I got back to Duluth last night....it died. Dead, dead dead. I can plug it in to the charger where it will then proceed to flash on and off and never shut off nor turn on completely. I cannot make calls, pick up voicemails, or anything else. It stinks. I tried my old battery, I tried my new battery, nothing. Occassionally it will randomly vibrate which makes me think it may be possessed. It wouldn't be *that* big of a deal but as a land-line-less household I feel a bit hamstrung. Especially since I'm working from home today. I guess I'll be making a stop at the Verizon store today. Hmph.
Ah....procrastination!
After quite literally weeks (or really months?) of only being able to sustain a 2 minute charge on my cell phone, I FINALLY got online and ordered a replacement battery. Isn't my life exciting??
Running Joke
This almost makes me want to run. Almost*. *by "almost" I mean, not really, but if I DID run I would totally get this chip thingy and knit it with the cool holder thingy over here because how cool is that? Oh how I love to track my progress. This is cool.
