Ready to get back to business

First blog post from my new slick Net book. I love it so much. I might be a little spoiled but the reason I got it was a very long frustrating experience:

Well my lap top that Eli and I bought when we first moved to California has been trying to die on me for a couple of years. A couple of years? How can that be? Well about a year ago it wouldn't turn on so my dad had his friend look at it, my hopes were just to get the pictures and maybe the documents off of it. Well he did better than that he got it to totally work again. This time if it gets warm it shocks you just enough that its uncomfortable. And to make things worse the cord was dropped and now doesn't work, so again I have to have the pictures recovered.

Luckily I was needing to down load a bunch of pictures from the camera and the cord was upstairs so I just downloaded them on the big computer( 95% of the time I did this on the laptop). Now I am going through a ton of pictures on the big computer to see if I am missing any. So the next chunk of blog posts might be out of order, but I just want to get them up before I forget. My goal is to be caught up by this weekend. Guess we'll see.
