Long time, no post!

Much has happened since my computer decided to take a vaction. Speaking of computers, I'll pick up right there. I purchased an external hard drive to the tune of a hundred dollars with the hopes of retrieving my personal files off the computer (which I did). I was getting ready to reinstall Windows and had just turned on the computer when lo and behold, my laptop loaded perfectly and greeted me with its perky little welcome screen as if nothing had happened at all. I was thrilled needless to say. I'm not even sorry that I bought the external hard drive since they're a good thing to have and use anyway. So for some odd reason my computer crashed and for another odd reason, it fixed itself. It must have heard me grumbling somthing about buying a Mac....
Anyway, hopefully my bloging should pick up more. In the mean time, I've started my new job and I absolutely love it! My main job is processing what are called 'picture covers'. These are books (mostly paperbacks) that are made into hardbacks. The book binder takes the entire cover off of the book, scans it, and then wraps the scanned image onto a new hard cover which is then rebound on to the original pages. It's a really fascinating process and a good way to make the books look better and last longer at the same time. I'll try to get a sample picture of what I'm talking about.

Some progress....

Hello all. I'm just reporting in. I'm making some progress on my comp. I've retrieved all of my important personal files, now it just remains for me to reload Windows. One guy at Best Buy says that since my computer did reboot into safe mode, then my problem may not be a bad hard drive-we'll see, though. I've been told that my make of laptop is notorious for throwing C drives. Last Saturday was my last day to work at my burger job. WHOO HOO! I've worked there since 99', and its time to move on. I'll start mingling with the books on October 1st....this monday!

So...it appears that i've been tagged so here you go whether you want them or not- 7 random things about me....

1. I like the smell of old books
2. my dogs sleep in the bed with me
3. I've wanted to play the violin ever since I was a little kid....a cello got in the way though
4. I would love to visit California (at one time I would have said that I would like to live there, but I think that I like good old Pa better, and besides....if California gets any more liberal, then it might just sink into the ocean)
5. I like computer programming
6. Our van's fuel pump decided to die at the worst possible location-while I was temporarily parked infront of a high security building. The person that I had come to see had to call security so that they wouldn't get worried.
7. I didn't know how to iron clothes until I came to PVBI and a certain other Sarah taught me

hmm...now who should i tag.....how about Rex McDowell Jr, Bethany M., Jason M, Allen Mowery, Julie Shultz, and Annette M.

My computer is having a senior moment.....

Hi all.....and hello to 'anonymous'. Sorry that I haven't been posting...there has been a delay for two reasons. One, the photo that I wanted to put up next needs edited just a little and i'm trying to find software to do so...does anyone have suggestions? All I need to do is to black out somthing on a picture I took. I don't have a lot of money to sink into a graphics program. And two, my computer decided it wanted a break-in a bad way. I either need to reinstall windows or I have a bad hard drive. We'll find out when I try reinstalling windows!! I may be able to post some pics from the computer that I'm currently 'borrowing'. We'll see, though, the person may not want me to upload on their comp. For now, though, I hope all is well for you all! My last day at my old job is drawing nigh!!! YAY!!!!!

Ok..I asked nicely before...now I'm just going to take over the computer!

Can we go to MY website now?

After the game.....
