…the bedroom!
Only cause Jeff won't share the ottoman in the living room, so this way I can put my feet up and type. I made sure to stomp out in a huff with Toby following me (cause he's my dog) and slam the bedroom door, Jeff loves drama…NOT! Too funny! Jeff is off tomorrow so he won't read this till the next day.Ha!
I have my desktop computer backing up…for the first time ever! Ouch! that was a kind little hand slap from Kathy's GuRuss! Ha! So anyway I have never backed up the computer before so it has like 70GB of stuff to back up so I think it will be going all night. The thing I got to back it up is a Hitachi thing and it is 1 Tierbyte. I am supposed to somehow after it back ups to be able to plug my laptop into in and transfer the files I want onto it. OK. I hope so. The guy at the store said I could also use it to back up my laptop, so I am assuming I just unhook it and hook it into this? I don't know, I'll be calling to ask cause I wouldn't think that would be good to do that all the time.
I do have to get used to the keyboard on the laptop. Holy Moly the keys look big, and so my fingers are hitting the wrong places. Plus I think the shift and caps lock are in slightly different spot as I keep hitting the caps lock instead of the shift key. It will all figure itself out.
I do like being able to use my computer other places though. I also got a cordless mouse and that makes using the laptop easier. (especially now since I have been kicked out of the bedroom -Jeff is getting up early and I am back in my studio-ha!)ok so luckily this saved cause my battery died…oops. I dont remember it warning me!
Today I had one of my downline Carri come and help me stuff envelopes. I have my Stamp a Stack of Christmas cards so she got them all ready to go while I cut ribbon. It was nice visiting with her while we worked. My internet and house phone were down for about 5 hours or so today. What a pain.
So since I don't have any pictures loaded onto the laptop I don't have anything to share with you. I will get you something tomorrow…promise!
I don't even have my little signature thing on here yet!
Have a great Tuesday and thanks for stopping in.
Hugs, Di
Isn't if fun to wander around your house with your laptop? Think of all the stuff on your desktop that is going to be safe from freak accidents. Hope that all goes well for you.
Good luck with the backing up, I hate doing anything technical! leave that to hubby or when it comes to laptops or computers the kids Lol.
I have only just sussed it out how to upload a pic and other bloggers click on that pic to get to that particular web page! DER how slow am I.

Wow – glad you got your laptop working – but man oh man – what a boring post!!!!
Just kidding!
Luv ya
Jax
LOL. Have a great day.
Thanks for reminding me. We need to get that back up thingie (technical term). The nerd that takes care of our computers told us we needed one last time our computer crashed. Have we gotten one yet? I think you know the answer to that question. Maybe Santa will bring us one since I mentioned this post to DH. Have fun today. Roscoe got to play with a herd of cows that came and visited our lawn in the middle of the night. They also spent the night with us, on our lawn which they were destroying. It is an absolute mess. Well, at least Roscoe is going to sleep well today.

Isn't the joys of a new computer just … well lets say it will soon be joys lolololol Chat soon!
LOL once you get used to your laptop, your desk top will seem like a dinosaur when you go to use it. I really need to figure out how to download pics onto something more stable because when my laptop melts down because I don't maintenance it like I should and I type too fast and crazy things just happen, and I loose all of them! You'll have fun figuring it all out. =D
Diana, Once you get used to your laptop, you'll wonder how you worked on a desktop all these years! I remember when I purchased my first laptop,'cause I too bought an external keyboard and mouse. HA! After using the laptop a bit, I ditched using both of those, and then doing everything on it become second nature – just give it time, you'll see! Yes, you do NEED to back up that laptop too, and you should be able to share your external drive for that. You're VERY fortunate that nothing has ever happened to your desktop, seeing you have never backed that up. Once a hard drive dies (ask me how I know!?), it's ONE very sad day if you've not backed up, even recently, especially with your laptop now that it's going to get a TON of use. All those LOST photos alone..snif-snif. I ALWAYS get a warranty for all of our laptops, & those warranties have paid for themselves 5x over, if not more!! I WOULD read your extended warranty deets, and be prepared (should ya need to), to "bat some eyelashes" if something needs to be fixed that they say is not covered by the warranty. It seems it is always possible to "make an exception" for those repairs, and BOY if you're ever in that spot, you'll know what I mean. (ASK me how I know THAT too?!) LOL Enjoy your new computer & printer. I'm sure you'll LOVE them, and it will be REALLY great to use at leadership too! Shoot, you'll be able to instantly photo share (load someone's photo they snapped that you missed) right then and there. I hope your computer GURU friend helps you figure it all out soon. You'll get there soon enough, and you'll be able to do it all on your own once you've learned the steps about "how to" – take notes in your new book! I'm so HAPPY FOR YA, and I KNOW you'll LOVE your laptop more than you realize now.
Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face with your blog posts. I look forward to them daily. With MY car, to stop my alarm, I have to put the key IN the driver side door, to close/open it, in order to stop that darn alarm. I laughed at your story, as I totally had a visual of you driving with the alarm going off, all the way home. LOL!!
Hey, can I get the name of the store/info, where you bought those lovely battery operated candles? I've never seen anything like those ANYWHERE around here. I LOVE those, and all you other "great finds". Keep 'em coming, photos/stories, as they're SO fun to see and read about!!
Hugs,
Barbara
