I am sad. Yesterday while I was sleeping with Christiano, it must have been while Pato was vacuuming, someone spilled a glass of pop across my tablet, onto my keyboard, and down my computer (desktop).
Pato was able to save my tablet by taking it apart and swabbing it down with alcohol but my desktop is now not working. You turn it on and the monitor light comes on but it’s just a black screen. I wanted to cry. I haven’t backed up since April. That’s horrible, I know. And I just had a bunch of new stuff I had bought a few days before. I’m sure I can redownload, but that doesn’t save my pictures that were on there from May and June.
Pato is going to take it to a repair shop on Monday and see if it’s just something simple that needs fixed. Keep your fingers crossed because my laptop isn’t really strong enough to design on. It freezes when I run big files on PSP.
Tomorrow we’re going out to my mom and dad’s for Father’s Day. We’ll have to bring some outdoor chairs because everyone is coming. Mom is making scalloped potatoes and we’ll roast s’mores, have a bonfire, and lots of fun for the kids because all the cousins will be there. I’d tell you I’d have pictures on Monday, but it’ll probably be a few days until I have pictures again. 
Have a better day than I did yesterday!

oh so sorry! Hopefully they’ll be able to open it up and clean it out and get it going again!
That’s a good lesson to me to check that my backups are good. I was doing some digital housekeeping this weekend and reminded myself that I want to put some things on disc and take them to DH’s office just in case.

Oh man! I hope the repair shop has some good news for you.
Don’t feel sad! The electronics that power your computer are most likely fried from the liquid meeting electricity but, that has nothing to do with your hard drive. The drive is sealed and, most likely, just needs to be put into a new computer (by someone that knows what the are doing) and configured and all of your pictures will be there. I will be crossing my fingers for you! Good luck and go spend $100 on an external hard drive to back up your data!
oh heather – that’s awful. hope they can work it out!
btw: loving your new blog design!
have a wonderful weekend,
