Chris is very good about computer maintenance. In fact, he’s so good, that after several days of trying to restore a problem that proved impossible, he wiped the entire hard drive. Now, he did save the documents and music and photos before he wiped, so I can’t be too upset. However, he also wiped all of my Pampered Chef stuff (took hours to re-input), destroyed my internet favorites list (If I’m not visiting your site any longer, it’s because I CAN’T FIND YOU), Made Word Perfect dissapear (Oh! The Typos! You’ll All Be Blinded!) and, on top of that, lost my wall paper. I now have a stupid rolling hill with an annoyingly blue sky behind. I know you’re think, jeez, Lou, it’s just wallpaper, move on and move up and all that. . .but people- this wasn’t ordinary wallpaper! This was wallpaper from the movie Sense & Sensibility, wallpaper that featured Alan Rickman as Col. Brandon, beautifully combining my literary crush with a VERY ATTRACTIVE MAN who I just happen to really enjoy looking at about six hundred times a day when I pass my computer. It was a nice light green, and Kate Winselt was on it too ( never looked at her much, cute as she is), and I really miss it, so if someone out there in internet land could locate that for me, I’d be so grateful! I’ve searched and searched to no avail.

I did find this, which was quite funny.

I must also say a big thank you to day to a dear reader who sent me a pacakge in the mail, just because she’s sweet! In it were three books, including one I’ve been dying to read: Stiff- The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. I never thought I’d be so excited about dead bodies, but look! I am! Go figure. Anyway, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!

(Yes, I know I’ve used more exclamation points in this post than I’ve used in my entire blog. I don’t know what’s come over me. And also, before you send me hate mail about the fact that I’m a married woman and shouldn’t be looking at other men, let me just mention Chris’ undying love of Keira Knightly- we’re even, and we’re both happy, and in the event that either of these people fall madly in love with either of us. . .well, now, that’s so unlikley we haven’t even bothered with a contigency plan.)

*Edited to add- Chris reinstalled wordperfect, so I can type now! He also, bless his heart, saved Alan! So I have a hot desktop once more Isn’t Chris great?
