Pfthhh.. blargh

Can't add pictures through blogspot again. Grrr... Not that I have any very recent pictures to add.

Last weekend we were all invited to a Superbowl Party. I decided to make a cake. Mark asked the host if there was anything else needed at the party, and he requested my potato salad. I was later told that he loves it because it reminds him of his mom's potato salad. (Awwwwww)

I freaked out and turned the power off to the camera, followed by unplugging the USB cord quickly. Still beeping. HORRIBLE BEEPING. I held down the power button on the computer. A big nono, I know.

When we got home, Mark tried to fix the computer. He said he was pretty sure it was "fried". I pictured three years worth of digital pictures lost. I haven't taken hardly any film pics, and printed only a few of my digital since my youngest was born. Since October '03 I have
