I learned a valuable lesson about downloads. They carry viruses. Yes, it was painful for me to discover that not everyone out in cyber-world can be trusted. I was raised to be honest and so I would never think that someone would deliberately want to hurt my poor little computer (inadvertently, me).
So, I have spent the last few days and MANY hours, painfully and slowly pulling three years of pictures, documents and more off of my laptop. I am putting everything on our desktop so that I can restore my laptop to fully functional (prayer). I have used several CD-R, two jump drives and my photo SD card working to accomplish this process and I am still not finished. Unfortunately, I haven't even ventured over to my hubby's side to pull anything off for him. I think that is better left to him. I wouldn't want to delete something he thinks is important.
Well, I decided to throw this tidbit of painful lesson learned so that if there is anyone else out there relatively new to downloading, you can learn from me. Please be careful. It's crazy that I was so naive. I guess all my prior experiences have been things I looked for when I was teaching or getting my masters. Now I'm looking for crafting ideas, delicious recipes, digital scrapbooking ideas, cheap fixes, and anything else that gets my creative puppy up and barking.
On that note, it's back to the: what am I going to serve 13 people at my first Thanksgiving? It feels like another hopeless challenge made even more difficult by the death of my laptop. But, I will prevail thanks to the ideas of many amazing women that I am so VERY thankful for this season. I promise to let you all know what and who helps me!
Blessings and we all prepare for LOTS of love, thanks and full tummies!
