i brought my laptop to a repair center so now i'm borrowing dad's for the weekend. based on the little research i did on the 'net and talking to the tech on the phone, it sounds like it could just be the monitor's inverter. if that's the case then not only can they fix it but they'll do it for much less that sending it to HP. AND i won't have to ( Read more... )

OBLIGATORY EXPLANATION

hello, everyone! as usual i've not been keeping up with my blog very well. as moo mentioned in her blog, i also tend to just get by with tweets or facebook updates. *lazy lazy* it does not mean i will discontinue with lj, it just might take me longer for the next entry to come along.

i'm so glad it's summer. i've been waiting patiently for it trying not to mind the cold. telling myself that it'll eventually end. it wasn't until this sweltering weather finally arrived that i realized how much i missed it. i love you summer. it should be spring now, though. virginia has a season like spring, but this year it seems to have ( Read more... )

the 'bean turned one year on the 19th, had her check-up on the 23rd, and her birthday party on the 28th. it's been a busy week ( Read more... )

it just keeps snowing and it's driving me crazy. i didn't want any to begin with but this winter has been overkill. we had a light snow today but it followed up with a light rain which usually helps to melt the snow. there was a bit of sun as well ( Read more... )
