Early this morning, while drinking coffee and playing Spider Solitaire, I did something stupid. I dropped my coffee mug on my MacBook, the couch, and myself. I don't know how it actually happened, but it did. The laptop immediately shut off.
After muttering a few choice words, I removed the battery from the laptop, tried to shake as much coffee out of it, cleaned up the couch, and went upstairs to tell Kevin that I just ruined my computer.
Kevin ran downstairs and began to take the computer apart. He was able to remove the hard drive, and we made an appointment at the Apple Store to see if they could resurrect the computer. The cost to clean and fix it was more than what the computer was worth, so we decided not to do that, and opted to buy a brand new MacBook Pro.
Next, we headed to Frye's to get a hard drive enclosure to see if we could transfer files from my old hard drive to the new one. THANK GOODNESS, the coffee didn't get to it, and I was able to access all of my old files and pictures!
My old MacBook lived a good life, and I was sad to see it go...but its files will live on in my new Pro.
RIP MacBook.

Today, I Almost Said...
Scrotum.
In class.
(Julie, I KNOW what you're thinking!)
By accident, of course.
I was reading an article about how the Plains Indians used all the parts of the buffalo. My kids were actively listening to all the odd parts that were used, and how they were used. I was quickly trying to get through it, and flipped the page over.
That's when I saw it (and almost said it)...Scrotum. I hope the kids didn't notice my eyes get wide as I fumbled over that word to the next one.
Can you imagine the parent phone calls and e-mails I would have gotten for that one?? Not to mention the awkward questions I would have had to answer point blank. I just thank my lucky stars I didn't make copies of it for the kids!
By the way, those crafty Plains Indians used the "unmentionable" for...ceremonial rattles. Odd.

Snow-mageddon
The view from in here is....
VERY SNOWY!!!
This might look beautiful, but underneath the 3 inches of snow, there are 3 inches of ice. My wonderful husband already painstakingly cleared the ice off the driveway yesterday, so luckily, he is only shoveling snow, but the front and backyards have sheets of ice beneath the snow.
I will admit, that it is beautiful to look at, but we've been stuck indoors for the better part of FIVE days, and it looks like there is no end in sight. This snow/ice storm has already caused us to have FOUR Snow Days in a row, and now there is talk of having us make up some of those days on Saturdays!
My question is, what did Indiana do to make Mother Nature so mad???
