I'm home and all is well.
Came home sick from Florida but am finally starting to feel better.
Turns out that spending two days in the air and two days teaching without much sleep is hard on the immune system.
And I got my computer back from the repair shop today.
Turns out that if you unplug your external hard drive on a regular basis without 'ejecting' it first, it will slowly but eventually corrupt your hard drive.
Josh Downs warned me about that but I didn't listen. (And thankfully, he's not the kind of guy that says, "I told you so.")
Back soon.
Annie's hair is really long! What exactly is she mixing up? And love your sink you area a lucky girl!

Welcome back, hope you recover quickly. I have wanted a sink like that for a long long time, maybe someday.
Glad you're back to blogging, we were missed.
I'll keep dreaming about the sink....

Such a cute photo..I am sure your kiddos were very happy to have you return. Glad you are feeling better, take care! Thanks for the info about the hard drive...I had no idea! Enjoy the crazy weekend!

Glad you're feeling better.
I had to do a double take on the shot of Annie, I thought she was standing in the dishwasher at first glance. Cheers.

You know what else corrupts it? Carrying your laptop around in your bag while it's sleeping. I figured shutting the lid was good enough... nope.I got the big, fat "Told you so!" from my husband. Now I listen :)

I would have taken one look at that sink and counter top and scooped up that house as well! Wishing I'd also scooped at that dress this summer at Target.. the one your darling daughter is wearing! We got the the little brown floral one instead ;-)
Glad you're back and feeling better, 'puter, too! Will be 'there' Monday night. Hope to make the class! Finally feel like it's time. My guy and I just celebrated our lucky 13 and we nearly escaped unemployed (he got a call for a new job the morning of our anniversary; It's nights.. long nights, so it's the perfect time for me to take a class. Now I cross my fingers. And if not this time, another time will be perfect too :)

Sooo glad you are back, and blogging again - you have been missed ;o) and I bet your kids are happy to have you back as well.
Ànni lookes so cute as always - her hair is getting really long now.

So sorry that you got sick on your trip --- but really glad that you came to Fla. I was in your Orlando class and wanted to tell you that the light bulb came on with your explainations and instructions. Thank ou for the best photo class ever!

So glad that you are back and feeling better. I have missed you. We are in the middle of another big move (from Florida to northern KY, to then SC in less that 9 months) I have not been online much the last few weeks but I have made sure to check your blog to see when you were coming back. This made my day to see you again:)

Wow! Good computer tips girls! Thanks for the heads-up!

Why is it that we have to learn the hard way??? Love the pic of Annie I remember when my kids used to do that. They loved "washing" dishes!!

Good info to know...I've been shutting my external hard drive off without ejecting it...I think I'll change that habit!!! Thanks for sharing that tip!!
Posted by: Tina G. | October 30, 2010 at 09:57 AM
Thanks for the tip & glad you're back. When I am running myself ragged like that, I start taking Airborne & drinking more water. Seems to help.

Even not feeling well, you take a great photo! I can't even do that on my best days. Hope you're feeling better day by day.
Posted by: Mallory | October 30, 2010 at 06:54 PM
Please post Halloween pics! Hope it's a good one-we are all still here!

This is filling me with dread & horror...do you mean that switching your EHD on & off & not clicking "safe to remove hardware" was the problem? If so I'm in trouble as I've been doing that for 2 years with mine because it is permanently plugged in so I checked with my hubs & he said it wasn't necessary to do that! Oooops....please clarify so I can sleep soundly again ;-(
Posted by: Helen Tilbury | October 31, 2010 at 04:29 AM
Yes, please. More clarification, por favor. I unplug my external from time to time--more, now that I have a laptop and not a desktop. What do I need to do first? How do I save my sanity? Everything is on that hard drive and corrupting it would mean I would have nothing left to live for.
Posted by: K | October 31, 2010 at 08:49 PM
holy crap, nobody has ever told me that. nice. which was corrupted, your external or your 'c' drive/regular computer. I have been having problems for the better part of the year- bet I know the problem now....
Posted by: JoAnn | November 01, 2010 at 04:00 PM
Thanks for the tips! I adore this pic.....it's priceless!

Good to know about ejecting, I have done the same thing you did a few times. I won't do it any more.
