the return of technology

2 weeks ago, our primary laptop decided to stop running all together.  at first we thought it was the port for the power cord.  we took it in, and paid $90 to have the computer dudes "take a look at it."  

after over 1 week, we received a phone call from them telling us it's not the port.  instead it was the motherboard.  

mother WHAT?!?!  how much?

"$300 for the part and labor"

it would be about $400 (including the $90 we already spent) for them to remedy this whole situation.  no thanks.

we ordered an apple.

while we anxiously waited for the arrival of our new purchase, our other laptop decided it would call it quits on us too (coincidentally, it died on the same day we ordered the new computer).

needless to say, there has been no blogging going on since last week.

but here we are.  my fingers revived from the week's rest from typing.  

ready.  set.  go!
