Fried the laptop, not a fan!

I know I am way behind in posting on this blog, and it's been due to many problems going on in my personal life. Nothing to do with Boxer per se {she's a pain the ass but doing fantastic}! just other crappy things that have been done to me by people whom I had trusted. I have been let down in a way you cannot imagine, and betrayal is too kind of a word to describe the situation. Let's just say that sometimes you give someone a nickname as a joke, and the nickname is actually the reality. I'll delve more into this at a later time.

Right now I just had to fire up the old desktop to lament about what I did to my laptop. I spilled an entire cup of hot cocoa onto it, thus frying the laptop and damaging the hard drive. The bad part {aside from not having a lap top anymore} is that every single photo and video taken of Boxer was on the laptop from May 2009 - present. EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. Of course, I have had to hear "don't you back up?" about 100x a day, which propels me back to when "Sex & the City" was still on the air, and Ms Carrie's laptop died, thus causing her to lose everything she had written, and all of her friends kept saying "Don't you back up"??? Ugh. Sad thing is, last time I backed up was May 2009. And even then I didn't back up the videos. What makes this situation even more shitty, is that many pics of Angelo were on there that are NOT on this desktop, as well as my pregnancy pics taken in the hospital {I had transferred them from another source and had them on the laptop}. What a Christmas delight this is. I had to take the hard drive to a specialty store which wants to charge me a sum of money that I do not have to try and salvage something they do not think can be salvaged. So for now, I'm clinging to the small ray of hope that the files can be restored, and that someone will buy me a winning lotto ticket so I can pay to get them back. Until then, I only have the pics I put up on facebook or photobucket to hold on to, and there weren't many of those. Plus no videos. I could kick myself in the head, and I vow never to drink hot cocoa again. My fat ass doesn't need it anyway.

Just needed to vent. Boxer is running amuck right now as I sit at the desk, and is currently climbing onto the night tables, which will more than likely result in a big ol' bruise if I don't stop her now. I have a blog entry I've been working on that I will be posting soon with all sorts of cool updates on my little Boxer girl, who is my miracle on Earth...

Be back soon!

I'm sorry to hear about your hdd, but contact onetrackrecovery, (i work in the IT field, and we recommend them to users) from my understanding they only charge what they can get off. If they can't get anything you wont be charged. Its worth a shot.

Oh I'm so sorry about the hard drive! Those pics, that does make a person just ill. :(

Wendy said...

Good luck, D. I hope that they can get most or all of your pictures. I would be so upset, too. I'm sorry.

Can't wait to hear more about Boxer...she must be getting so big now.

AZAlyssa said...

Argh! I have my fingers crossed that all your pictures and videos can be restored. I am looking forward to hearing more about Boxer, too! She must be so big by now!

Good luck with the hard drive - I hope the IT elves work their magic for you.

Keeping everything crossed...

I am SO glad to hear that you and Boxer and still alive and well (in relative terms). It sucks about your hard drive. I lost a lot of stuff when my desktop crashed a few years ago and I too learned the hard way about backing up...who really has time for that shit in the real world?? Anyways....happy holidays and I hope you get the rest and relaxation you deserve.....and the winning lotto ticket :)

Shit! Soooo sorry about the hard drive--I've done this not once, but TWICE (and am now allowed to work on my computer only with an adult-version sippy cup on my desk). I'm crossing all crossables that they can recover some of your precious pictures and videos.

As for s-boy...I can only imagine that's the reference at the beginning of your post...double shit. Shitty shit shit. Dee, you really don't need that on top of all that you've been through (though stress does strange things to families, and I know that from first-hand experience). Hang in there, funny girl. Wish I could give you a big squeeze.

(((hugs))) I am so sorry for everything that is happening. I hope that you and your precious little girl's world turns right side up soon. I am praying for you. I've been there on the lost pictures... it sucks big time. I've done it twice now. I really need to back them up again...
