Ramblings

Let me tell you about Greg's computer, aka The Beast. Being a graphic designer, and having worked from home the last 4 years he had a need for a pretty spiffy computer. This thing has five hard drives and two monitors, each being larger than our tv (you can see where our priorities lie). Anyway, about a month ago the computer began crashing more frequently than one might feel comfortable with. And a few short days later when it crashed one hard drive never recovered. No problem right? I mean there are four other hard drives to keep this thing going until Greg figures it out. Only he figured out that for some unknown reason that one hard drive took THREE others with it. That's right, so now only one of our five hard drives are functioning. What this means is that the computer runs, and you can use it, but you cannot get to ANY of our saved files. That means no pictures on the blog :(. Nor can we save new files, meaning now that the memory card on our camera is full we pretty much are left to our phones for pictures. Which is lame. Ok so back to the story of The Beast. Well that same day that the hard drives crashed one of the monitors just quit working. Kind of a pain, but not too detrimental since Greg is working in an office now.  But, last night the other one gave up the ghost! So we had to give up our teensy tv in our bedroom to go into the office as a monitor. It's just not the same. And probably the most traumatic for me was last week when my CHI flat iron called it quits. Sob. And then today our blender barely made it through this afternoons smoothie.

So to all other electronics or appliances in our home. If you would like to join the trusty pink blender, the never to be topped CHI, two monitors, and FOUR hard drives that have chosen to go up in smoke this month go ahead. Just jump on the bandwagon. We like to make large purchases to replace things.
