A week ago my puter crashed again. This time my dh was finally around, so looked at it. Turns out I had a bad stick of RAM. He had to take it out, leaving me with 1/3 of the total amount I started out with. And I’ve been banging my head on my desk all week at how ungodly long everything took. Like reopening a window that was just minimized in the tray. I’m a multi-tasker! I can’t work like this!!
So tonight my knight with shining metal brought home a new stick and everything seems to be purring along quite nicely again. Yay! More than that, though… I got a surprise!
We have also been talking lately about my need for a new hard drive. I only had 1 gig of free space left, afterall, on my current 40-gig drive. He was talking about upgrading to an 80-gig, I was talking about a 120-gig drive. At this point, our budget doesn’t even allow me a 3.5-inch floppy! So not only am I surprised when I look in the box I’m handed to find a hard drive, I am blown away upon inspection of the drive to find it is a whopping 160 gigs!!! Poor guy always has such a hard time trying to surprise me… he really outdid himself this time! Thank God for a freakishly-great sale on a huge, quality-brand drive! 
I consider it my birthday present, 12 days early. I’m seriously stoked and can’t wait to get it installed!
Hey girl! I’m trying to figure out a way to watch your blog from LJ, but I’m too e-tarded.
Happy early birthday, because I will most likely forget.
It was good talking to you the other night.
Hugs.

Uhhh… maybe I’m e-tarted too, cuz I don’t know! Will check and see if I can get it figured out.
Yes, it was nice to talk again! And thanks for the early bday wishes
