Laptop Fire!

In case anyone was wondering, which I'm sure NOBODY was........I have not posted in a while. Our laptop had a minor fire/sparking explosion....okay I'm totally exaggerating, but there WERE sparks. The laptop is back from an expensive Dr's visit, and now until the new charger we ordered arrives, I am unable to access/upload pictures to post. I have yet to figure out how to do all that via my NEW IPAD Ryan got me for my birthday! Another tragedy was that I left my camera at work over Christmas break, which means no pictures from the HUGE blizzard, Christmas OR New years. I have some video but uploading that to the computer is something I am not willing to venture towards just yet. Life is the same.....work, work, and more work. I am attempting to try to make our new condo feel like a HOME, and not an apartment, but it's tough, and expensive. We did though get plantation shutters installed this weekend and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy! They are super cool. I am slowly realizing just how badly I want a new camera.....but try telling Ryan that, when we just bought one this year. I cannot afford a nice SLR like I want, and I settled for the Canon SX210 IS which although it's great, it doesn't quite perform as I'd like. Unfortunately a camera like that isn't even on Ryan's priority list, not even at the bottom!
