Let me tell you about my weekend. On Friday my little white Mac laptop (her name is Camembert)* stop working. I took her to the Mac Dr. on Sunday and I was told that I had a system failure. Complete failure. They couldn't get anything off of my hard drive and a new one had to be implemented. I was crushed. Luckily I am a good wench and back my files up pretty regularly. Because of this I only lost my bookmarks.
On Sunday morning my Ma flew into town. Instead of spending time having pancakes and yumminess, I was at the apple store trying not to hyperventilate. Today I worked like a dog, and spent the better part of my free time re-installing everything on my computer. CURSES! Then I remembered that the deadline for the ACS retailer scholarship is May 1, and I hadn't finished my essay. So I did that, found a late night FedEx place and sent it off. When I got home after spending about $30.00 to print it, and send it (my printer is being cranky) I open up an email from a co-worker that says she talked to the ACS people and you can send the application by email. CURSES! Nowhere on their website, or application does it say that. CURSES!
So that's what's happened here in my neck of the woods. I'm hoping to get my mojo and computer back up so I can post more cheese love. Hopefully by tomorrow everything will be fixed. I hate ending on a sour note, and this post has had too much of the "woe is me" tone to it. So, I leave you with a joke. This is not a good joke. This is a great joke. It always cheers me up when I hear it and my brothers and I often say it to make the others laugh. Ready? Here goes:
Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick
I told you it was great!
*All of my electronics have cheese names. My ipods are/have been: Roquefort, Lamb Chopper and Cocoa Cardona. My last camera was Purple Haze and the camera I have now is Red Hawk. My new portable external hard drive is O'Banon and the big desktop one is Figaro. I am a cheese dork.

I love that all your electronics are names...ha ha ha ha. So excited to get the chocolate (did you send me your address with it?). And that totally and completely sucks about the computer..I would probably go a little crazy!
Yes, Cheesewench, you certainly qualify for the additional title of Cheese Dork! :)
Oooo computer drama!! I hate computer drama's... And you just reminded that I need to back up all my new stuff NOW... (am doing it as we speak actually) I am paranoid about losing stuff and double backup (I've had backup drives fail on me, so now I am double paranoid..) I'll let you know how (and when) the chocolate arrives! You never know with the mailguys...:)
