Oh. Mah. Gawd.

Today has been a bit….uh…nightmare-ish.

I ran out the door this morning like my house was on fire.  Sadly, I left without my cell phone (it’s been missing since yesterday).  I dropped Babisodes off at preschool and proceeded to Starbucks, where I began typing up this post….

1)    An older woman wearing far too much make-up was occupying my usual table (Grrr!). She was also charging her Crackberry, and it blocked the only 2 outlets available.

2)    My computer began running out of power so I packed up my stuff, threw her a dirty look and went home.

3)    While uploading my post into Wordpress….my Mac CRASHED!!!

4)    My life flashed before my eyes as I tried to give it CPR for 3 hours (none of Babisodes’ photos from age 2 to 3 have been backed up).

5)    I gave up and called Mac technical support. They refused to help me unless I gave them a credit card number so they could charge me $50 up front

6)    I was ready to end this love affair with Mac for good. Seriously. Serious as a heart attack.

7)    I brought the ill laptop to the Mac store at 3pm and begged for help.

8)    I waited there for three hours with a 3-year old, while many, many geeks worked on my laptop.  They couldn’t fix it.

9)    6:30pm- They gave up, and I needed a brand new hard drive. Thankfully they were able to restore all of my original files on their external hard drive. Best of all, it was all FREE!  My warranty expired, but they were so very kind and didn’t charge me a dime.  Love restored!

10)     Oh, and did I mention that I’m late. Yes, that kind of late.

11)    But… I tested negative.

12)    And I’ve retained enough water I could double as the Michelin man.

13)    Oh yea, and my cell phone?  I spent an hour calling my cell phone inside my house listening for the ringing. I finally found it upstairs under someone’s bed…
