SHE'S BACK!!!

Posted by Picasa
My computer is back home where she belongs.
And the best part?
So are the tens of thousands of photos that I thought I had lost.
Excuse me while I go burn all my photos to Cd's, upload them all to web albums, and put them on a flash drive.
I have learned one can never be too sure.
And my poor heart can not stand another scare like that.

LazyCrazyMama said...

Yay!! Oh, the pictures... I also need to do some backups. That would so totally suck!

Hailey said...

Congrats on getting her back. Because of your scare, I am now on top of backing all of my pictures up.
I don't think my heart could stand a scare like that at all.

I am glad it is back! Everyone deserves to have a working computer.

Stephanie said...

Oh yay! That must be a great feeling to know you have all your photos. Whew!

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? said...

Whew! That was a close one! Now, go buy and external drive (less than $50) and back those puppies up!

Grammy Staffy said...

So glad that it worked out well for you. I keep saying that I will burn my pictures to CDs....maybe I'd better do it instead of talking about it....or get an external drive like Krystyn suggested.

I'm happy for you

What a relief. I'm happy for you.

Unknown said...

Phew! So relieved for you! Like I said, I've lost some in the past and it's PAINFUL.

I am happy that you were able to get all of your pictures back. This is a good reminder of why I need to get caught up on burning my pics on a disk.

Susan said...

Yeah...so happy for you! I have started the process of burning but really do need a burning day to get it all done.

This post made me think back to before we had computers. What did we do?? Yep.. I'm still thinking. I can't really remember.

Anyway, glad "she's" back and thank you for keeping up your blob. :)

Thank goodness it's all back! Don't we all learn our lessons the hard way?

I learned a little tip from a photo-maniac friend this summer - burn your pics to DVD instead of CDs. They hold WAY more stuff (I managed to get more than a year's worth of photos, and I take a lot) onto one DVD with room to spare.

And now I'm doing it all the time. Stories like yours freak me out enough that I will take the time to ensure that my precious memories don't end up lost forever.

I never did get the story of the "gifter" of your laptop . . . was it Chad?

Glad you don't have to share your internet anymore!

Rachel said...

yeah.....i am so glad for you. Pictures mean so much to me so I could understand completely what you where going through. I am glad it all worked out ;-)

Unknown said...

Wendi, I am so happy for you!!

Yay, yay, and yay!!!

Lisa said...

What a relief! I swear, that would make me cry like no other!

So glad that all was not lost!
