Stinks!

Minimal or no blogging for a little bit.

For the second time in just over two years, the hard drive on my laptop has failed. As in, kaput, oops, kaplooey. Is it a case of bad luck, or is the laptop damaging the drive by running too hard or too hot? I don't know. If it's bad luck, then we just buy another hard drive (and maybe not the Fry's special, okay?). If it's a bad 'puter, then I have to decide laptop vs. desktop. And while I'm at it, I need to see if I can get a RAID controller as part of the deal, or some other way to help me deal with the next hard drive tragedy (because I'm sure it's inevitable). The machine needs to be small, as the size of my office has shrunk after making room for babies. Does the perfect solution exist? Any ideas?

We were able to recover our data (all the baby pictures were already backed up, of course!), but reloading the software and updates can take an eternity. I think I know what I'll be doing Easter morning between bites of chocolate bunny.

Stinks!

In other news, David called Matt "Da-dee" today. He also called the chair, the cat, and my knee by the same name. "Da-dee" might not yet mean Daddy.

If we leave the house at 6:18, David and I can be back home with breakfast tacos from Taco Cabana by 6:32. We need to do that more often.

But not tomorrow. Matt says that he will try to persuade the babies to let me take a shower before he leaves for work. I won't tell you how long it's been since I've had one!
