So, my laptop is dead. As in: D E A D.
I put the new battery in last night and it worked great. I was excited but very suspicious. Having a working laptop again couldn't possibly be that easy. Well, it worked again this morning but only for a bit. And then it shut off and it is not turning back on no matter what.
I am so over not having a laptop. I shot Daniel an angry text this afternoon that said something along the lines of: I am buying a new laptop TODAY. And don't even TRY to stop me.
Mature, huh.
But, I didn't buy one. Daniel (the levelheaded and mature one in our relationship) called me and convinced me to wait until he is back home and can have a look at our options. You know what that means though... more waiting. And I hate waiting. I am dying to take pictures and edit them! I miss laying on my bed chilling with Photoshop.
In other not so interesting news... I made it to the airport fine-ish. I did miss my exit which caused a bit of excitement for "Crazy." I think she was feeling bored so my mistake was great fun for her. And then, my mother-in-law's plane came in 20 minutes early! That would have been great if I had been there. Instead I was being chastised by "Crazy" on some random highway in Albuquerque. I was cool as a cucumber, as I am sure you can imagine.
Tomorrow I am taking Judah to the dentist for a cleaning. I am terribly worried about his front right tooth. It is brown and gray-ish from when he fell on his face back in August. I really want to know what is going on with his tooth. Hopefully it will correct itself and the discoloration is just trauma. We shall see. P.S. Friday is the military questions day! Unless I decide to do it tomorrow, in which case Thursday would be the day.
I am simply here to keep you on your toes.
Bye!

I've been missing your blogs and photos! Just wanted you to know. :) I know how it feels to be missing a laptop, and I think it's a little bit like missing a limb. I hope you get something...and soon!
I'm sorry to hear about your laptop..that's completely lame. But maybe through waiting, you will be able to get a new, completely amazing new one with some sort of technology that we will all be envious of. :)
Oh, and I'm glad to hear that despite the mishap, you weren't wandering around the desert all day!
Now I know why there haven't been any pictures! I'm sorry to hear about the laptop :(
Enjoy the time with your mother in law and I, too, am glad you made it there and back safely :)
I'm so glad to hear that you and "crazy" made it! About the tooth, my eldest fell when he was about two (trying to hurry and go potty, poor thing) and hit his tooth on what else? the side of the toilet. A small piece chipped off and later the tooth began to turn a little darker/grayish color. Everyone (ped. included) said it was ok and that it would probably come out a little early. Well, as I recall (he is now 13) after several years of pics with the funky tooth, I think a dentist may have x-rayed to make sure there was indeed a permanent tooth underneath and then pulled the little sucker. Sorry for the long comment. Just wanted you to know it's gonna be ok.
I miss your photos but good for you waiting. Sadly, hes right =) Sometimes I hate it when that happens! Hang in there. It makes it all the better when they have been resurrected again.
No laptop + no pictures = major stinkage!! Trust me, I know.
And your "Crazy" was totally cracking me up.
I know what you mean about having an extra set of hands. And they're not just any hands either! Grandma hands are almost as good as or even better than Momma hands sometimes!!!
Take it easy, chicka. If you wait for it...it will come! Or something profound like that! :0)
Oh, I am sure Judah's tooth is fine. Noah's tooth is discolored too and they told me that my option was to have a root canal done and give him a cap so it would be pretty. Can you believe people do that to their kids? That is what photoshop is for anyhow.
SO, any word on when you are getting a new computer.
Enjoy your MIL, I know your visit will be great.
Oh, that poor tooth. It will be fine in the long run if they have to take it out. My brother had a few speech problems learning to pronounce words, but we just worked with him and he is fine.

I have decided I might as well begin replying to some of your blogs. I love reading them, and find myself wondering if Andrea has written today. What you write always makes me laugh, or awe, or cry. It is rare, for me at least, to see a mom loving her family so much these days. So many are so pre occupied with other things that family seems to take the back seat. I love your story of “Crazy”, and your adventure to fetch your mother in law. It is scary doing things like that sometimes, for me anyhow, the unknown with the traffic, forget it. It takes some courage to hurdle that and I applaud you. I hope your mother in laws visit is a wonderful one as well. Mine is coming in on Saturday and well….she is not so helpful to me, lol.
i have several fantasies a week about having a laptop, and taking it far away to someplace lovely to work on the computer alone for hours. we're just never going to need one. sob.

we've had loads of tooth trauma here - way easier to handle when it's a baby tooth - hope his appt goes well. So glad you made it to the airport - it's somewhat empowering, isn't it? I freak whenever I have to do something like that - and then when it's done I feel just a little invincible :)
Hey there! I just wanted to encourage you about the tooth thing - 3 out of the 4 of us kids growing up had a 'brown' front tooth. We were always knocking our teeth on things - usually each other's heads.
So don't worry - if it's a baby tooth, it'll just fall out and a healthy one will grow. I think it's just a damaged nerve ending in the tooth or something like that.
Sorry to hear about your laptop, I have never had one but I am definitely getting intersted in buying one!!
I have no experiences with the whole tooth thing, so I can't offer any more good advice. However I am here to say: I'm so glad you sleep with a gun when your husband is gone, too! Now I know & can share with the people who mock me that I am not alone!
I fell when I was 3 and conked both my front teeth; the dentist said they would abscess had to come out. I had both pulled but it really wasn't a big deal. My smile just wasn't as photogenic until my adult teeth came in. Although there WAS the minor tragedy that I never really learned to whistle properly... ;)
sorry to hear about your laptop. :(
regarding your military questions day (as friday) i'd like to say smth. as i civilian (and european) i thought american military families would have more support in family/children-everyday-issues when military parent is away, but i find it not so. also, one of the biggest problems for me are "next day TDYs", I used to think that that kind of stuff is planned and that families are prepared for it, but again, it is not so. I hate TDYs.
