Life….
Well one can prepare for the little things in life, but it still slows you down.
We moved!! I have my very own office! Most of all, my husband has his very own office!! Very exciting. Not so exciting is that the internet took 2 weeks to install. If you use on-line proofing or Outlook, you can only imagine my pain!
Once we got internet, I needed to install a wireless internet conecter to my computer (hub is in hubby’s office). In the process of doing that…..my computer died. It may be the processor, it may be the mother board…good thing…it’s not the hard drive with all the photographs (doesn’t really matter…I am well backed up on location and with offsite storage!). Offsite…yes I did say that…of course that is where I sent my PS disks also.
So my first weekend of maternity leave (no more weddings to photograph) will be spent rebuilding my computer from the ground up. Oh the joy!
I hope all is well with everyone! Thank you for your comments and checking in!!
Piece of advice…BACK UP YOUR STUFF NOW!! ALL OF IT (my documents, actions, outlook, quickbooks, etc). My planning ahead for a rainy day saved me alot of heartache!

I am not as good at backing up as I should be. I back up about once a quarter (except images, those are burned instantly and then agin after I touch them up etc). The worst part is all that software that we use for everything: labs, online photos, actions, slideshows, burning, etc etc…. That takes the longest because you have to download it from their websites etc! Yuck! Best of luck to you!!!
Congratulations on your move. I can’t image two weeks without internet, much less, one day. Thanks for the backing up tip. It would definitely be devastating!
