Terribly Poetic

Well this may be one of the largest breaks I have taken from blogging. I am not going to make excuses here. I just haven’t been feeling it lately. Anyways….on to the post at hand.

As the saying goes “don’t cry over spilled milk”, well the crying I maybe doing is not milk, its coffee, and it spilt on my macbook. The story follows that my daughter has a really good arm and can really throw some things. And she also has accuracy of a pro basketball player. I’m thinking that when she makes it big in the WNBA, that he first cheque should go to me so I can pay for a new computer. That’s right, our precious macbook, the one I just upgraded RAM on, the one I just bought Leopard and iLife ’08 for. Yeah, that’s the same one that is a gigantic paper weight now. Needless to say I am so glad I had just bought a external HD to do a complete backup on. Otherwise I truly would be crying.
We have come to realize just how dependent we are on our computer. No contact to friends through email or ichat. No access to recipes, to our daily calendars, to our photos. No access to the many TV shows we watch via our computer. This is most noticeable when we try to watch the three channels of TV via our antenna. Ugh! This really sucks. Thankfully I am able to get access to some things from my computer at work. Like this blog. Our calendars. But that’s about it. It also makes it very difficult to work on graphic design for other people when I don’t have a means to do that. And its hard to update a Churches podcast without it. (I’ll get it uploaded somehow) While I am not crying and I am thankful we didn’t lose all our photos (that I would be crying about) or anything like that, I do see how much we rely on it. I think I would give up my entire TV and stereo unit to have it back. Then there is the issue of getting a new one. What great timing this is. Just bought Christmas presents, just went on vacation, etc, etc. At least it isn’t my furnace.

But I must trust God that he will provide a way for us to get a replacement.
