I thought technology was supposed to make my life easier!


I had taken these really funny pictures to go with that really funny story of Shaun being systematically turned into a girl. And, here I am, feeling so clever about myself. I know how to work this. Blogging is easy. I hurry and download the pictures from my new camera to the computer. They are so cute. Do I want to burn a copy of the pictures to a CD? my computer asks. No, I am IT savvy, I can do that later. Then I write the blog, oh everyone will love the story! I post my blog, then go to post the pictures. AND THEY ARE GONE! I can't find them when I browse under blogspot. I click back to my desktop, and somehow my pictures are lost in the circuitry of my computer. I swear, I was just looking at them. So, at one in the morning I am screaming curse words at the computer and am so glad my children are asleep and cannot hear. Finally I find the @#^^%#$#!#& pictures, who knows where. OK, I found them, so now I will copy them to a file that will be easy to find. Click, click copy. I am back on track. I close the photos and there is my desktop. Covered in over 400 labels for my pictures. Not only did the pictures go to the desktop, they multiplied from 60 to 400. And of course, I cannot find the 2 pictures I want to post. So, if at 2 in the morning you thought your ears were burning. That was me verbally abusing the spawn of Satan in metal form sitting on my desk. So, here I am days later, with a blog only partially completed unable to fix the mess. Every time I sit at my computer I now repeat my mantra......"I will not club the computer to death with the camera."

Oh....... and eventually you might get to see those pictures of Shaun

Ah, a good laugh first thing in the morning! Wonderful! If only the computer would piss you off every day! JK. Thanks for starting my morning, Kristi!

Oh Kristi...I feel your pain! I would stay up most of the night trying to figure out this blogging crap! How come everyone's pages looked cuter than mine, how to do it.. how to put a pic on etc. Once you get it, it will be easier I promise! And we wait with baited breathe for the pictures of Shaun!!
Thanks for the laugh. I had tears rolling down my face reading that oneÜ

And to think my husband is practically married to one! I am a complete imbecile with computers most of the time. I just have a nerd to bail me out. Good luck with the pics! Can't wait to see them.

Yes, I understand! I too have been in computer hell for 2 weeks. I am almost out of it, probably going to be in purgatory for awhile but I am hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Waiting to see pics.
