Broken

I knew it was going to happen, but it's still frustrating now that it has: My laptop is dead. :(

Most of the things on there are also on our file server- yep, we've got our very own little network thanks to Branden and his impressive computer knowledge- so I won't be losing pictures or anything like that. On the other hand, all the links that I'd bookmarked for wedding ideas are gone. Not to mention the fact that I've lost a lot of other links to things like recipes and interesting websites. Branden thinks he may be able to get something off the hard drive so maybe I haven't lost it all.

Branden has wanted a laptop for a long time but we've been putting it off. Now mine is broken and... I know it's a luxury to have two computers but we're accustomed to having two. So instead of giving Branden the gift that I've been planning on buying him, I'm going to give him the money that I would have spent and he'll use some of his tax return to buy himself a new laptop and I'll take this one. His new laptop won't be the best one in the world but it'll be faster than this one. And this one is faster than my old one so we're both upgrading. :) I don't really need a fast computer for the things I do. I'll just be happy to be able to watch a video without it freezing up half-way through.
