What's New, Pussycat? Tainted Love All Around....

I'll tell ya' what's new....there's tainted love at my house....

My Precious (nickname for my laptop) has contracted an STD...(Stupid Technical Disease.)


Some Jerkity McJerk Jerk infected my laptop with a virus.  I am not a happy bee...This virus actually reconfigured my anti-virus software to pretend like it was still working...ugh...It also possibly infected my flash drives too....fabulous (insert sarcasm).....


I will be taking Miss Precious and her flash drives to the Computer Guru tomorrow...these guys know their STD's....I hope there is a cure!




I do realize the holidays are over and I really need to change out my header!  I haven't completely lost my mind...yet.....I will be sporting a new look as soon as my computer disease is healed:)


Oh, and here's the icing on the cupcake of my day....a huge mountain lion decided to come hang out in my yard this evening!  Yep, it completely freaked me out!  I haven't seen it in the last half hour so hopefully it has moved on!  Good times at the Smith house!





(This isn't my house, but it was taken in Tucson! This looks exactly like the one in my yard!)


Bee Back Soon!

You have my sympathy. My laptop is on its last legs, so we've been babying it along.
I guess the desktop saw that we were looking the other way so it died. OMG! Two geeks circling one lone computer... move your feet lose your seat. It's very sad (and fairly comical)

Hope it's better soon and that you and yours are doing well.

Hope things work out for the best soon. Perhaps you should consider a Mac? I can't believe the mountain lion thing. That would really freak me out.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe that mountain lion was in your yard. I love wildlife but that is one thing I don't need to see in person.
Sorry about the computer. Hope it is better soon and doesn't cost you a fortune.

STD...I love that!

Huge kitty outside? I am not sure, the notion is so fantastic I might find it a tad cool. However, all the doors would be locked and all the kiddies would be located and handcuffed so as not to escape to pet the huge kitty...

Are you the blogger who told about javalina's in her yard...we just read the book the three little javalina's (spelled right?) and thought of how you said they were not very cute. Maybe the Big Kitty was looking for some left over little piggies?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to go double check my settings because I think I have it so they autopost.

Part of me thinks "Cool.. mountain lion." The other part of me thinks "Yikes, mountain lion."

I turned off anon comments because of way too many spam comments. Good luck getting fixed up.

So how are you going to get out of your house with My Precious while that WILD animal is lurking?

Guess the Geek Squad would not do a housecall...because they're Geeks not Hugh Jackman's.

I've been having issues too! I opened a "fake" email from DHL NOT and it took over my computer and made my anti-virus software stop working. I think I fixed it, but I'm terrified it's still lurking in the background. Why do people go out of their way to screw other people?

I am truly, deeply grateful that ya’ll stop by and visit me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (I had this scheduled to post at midnight, but for some reason, it didn't!

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
