High-Heeled Foot in the Door: Just one of them days….

Ever have one of those days when you just want to get back into bed and start all over again?

This is exactly how I have been feeling all morning.

Woke up a bit late. Started blogging right away. Logged on to my laptop started downloading pictures of latest projects so that I could edit them and feature my reveal today.

Finish editing all pictures and I’m clicking on Windows Live Writer and bam! Black screen!!!!!! Laptop totally dies. I keep trying to reboot, remove battery, pray…Nothing is helping.

I occasionally walk by it and bang on it, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I think I need some professional tech support. Totally freaking out about all my images disappearing!

Go to work on desktop to try and still post reveal. This desktop is from my college years. It’s slow as a snail and due to many viruses basically only works for internet. So I can’t download pictures on to it.

I called Jon crying and cursing HP for their crappy laptop!!!!! I’m now begging and pleading for a new MAC that will love me unconditionally and not shut down on me.

The only thing keeping me going is that I get to attend this tonight:

Of course now I’m stressed over what I’m going to wear, because it’s already 11 am and I’m still in my PJs with no idea about my outfit choice for tonight. It must be the perfect thing to let Michelle know she must be my BFF!

So dear lovely readers all of this rambling is to let you know that at the moment I can’t post pictures of the reveal. I’m trying to get my hands on dear old mom’s laptop so that I can post them.

Stay tuned…

It sounds like you are due for a Mac for sure! Finger's crossed!

(As I type this on my junky Windows laptop at my office) Sigh.

Yessir - You've earned enough blogstress points for a Mac - I'm sure of it.

AWESOME invite - can't wait for the deets!

Aw, I hate those sorts of days... but at least there is a bright spot in all of the laptops dying and causing stress. Have fun tonight!
AileenOctober 13, 2009 at 12:26 PM
I don't think your mom would appreciate being called old hahaha jk!

Hurry up and post them! I'm dying over here!

How exciting. Sounds like a great event. Sorry for the computer problems. One thing that gets me so ticked is when the computer crashes.

Have a blast tonight!! You might need 3 glasses of bubbly after your day!!

I feel your pain! I had a computer catastrophe last year about a month after I got back from studying abroad. All of my Europe pictures...gone forever!

What I learned:
1. Always back up your computer!
2. Memories are more important that pictures.

Good luck with the computer issues!

Aww, I'm so sorry you are having one of those mornings. I really hope your laptop gets fixed soon and that you find just the right outfit for tonight, I'M SO JEALOUS!

Ooh... You will love a Mac. I think you most definitely need one for sure!

Hope the rest of your day looks up!

Sorry to hear about your laptop. Ugh. That invitation sure is cute. Can't wait to find out what you decided to wear. : )))

Bummer girl! I am with you on the searching-for-a-mac train....let us know what you end up finding :)

XO - Katie

Poor thing, focus your energy now on looking fabulous for your party. You can post reveals another day :)
Ms. BrightOctober 13, 2009 at 3:12 PM
We've all had those days. I personally will never buy HP anything again! The invite is adorable and just remember, after a glass or two of the bubbly, you'll feel much better! I just know your outfit will be stunning for tonight!
Jami - XOimagineOctober 13, 2009 at 3:43 PM
At least you get to have a few cocktails tonight! Watch some of your favorite programs or read a magazine - it helps me when I'm in a funk!
AverillOctober 13, 2009 at 3:55 PM
How frustrating! I've had similar crashes before and it always leaves me in tears (and blaming my husband -- and it's never his fault).

Enjoy the party; I'm so jealous you're getting to meet Michelle!
RachelOctober 13, 2009 at 4:03 PM
Hope things are looking up!!!

I'm sure you'll look cute tonight no matter what you wear! Have a great time!

Oh no! I totally had one of those days last week and I wish you the best of luck! Computers are evil sometimes and I say that even though I can't live without htem. It's a double edged sword!

Have a blast tonight! Tomorrow will be better :)

I love my Mac!
No matter what you wear, your personality will shine!
Have fun!

I feel for you. It's been that kind of week for me. Have fun this evening!
UnknownOctober 13, 2009 at 6:22 PM
You deserve a Mac! I had an HP and within two months of owning it the hard drive completely crashed. I had to send it to HP and they had to rebuit it which took over a month plus. So I switched to Mac and have had zero problems.
Can't wait for the post. Hope you have a great evening at your Soiree.

Maria KillamOctober 13, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Awww that sucks. I totally get your pain! You are funny though!
Dallas Landrum-MartinOctober 13, 2009 at 11:02 PM
I'm sending happy Mac-themed thoughts your way and will wait patiently for the reveal ;)

In the meantime you HAVE to check out my lamps; I think they'd get your seal of approval.
::levina::October 13, 2009 at 11:52 PM
hope you've backed up your stuff on a regular basis. i learned that the hard way a couple of years ago...btw, my macbook is one of the best purchases i've made this year ^_^.
AnonymousOctober 13, 2009 at 11:55 PM
Oh I hate that for you! I have a Mac and it's great but it is still not crash proof. Unfortunately no computers are. I still do CAD from a flickering laptop that made it through college. Ahhh lifestyles of the rich and famous. :)
Hope you get it worked out! xoRH

'Black screen' issue is how I got my new laptop. Fortunately, my computer doctor was about to save everything.

At least you had a fun party to think about. I hope it's great.
KwanaOctober 14, 2009 at 8:07 AM
Darn. What a frustrating morning. I know the rest of the day went up. Can't wait to hear.
Haven and HomeOctober 14, 2009 at 9:35 AM
I sorry the day started out that way but I hope last night was a blast!

Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I heart them!
