For Rachel O

A small reminder:

Just this last Saturday my harddrive crashed and since I had not backed up my computer since Tatum's birth, I lost 8 months of my life. All pictures, RS documents, family projects, emails, contacts, bookmarks and videos. The only thing keeping me from jumping off the nearest bridge is my blog. Thankfully I posted with all the best pictures of the most significant events so I have that. What a blessing.


Don't make the same mistake I did. Buy an external harddrive or make an account on Windows Live to automatically back up your computer.


The following post might seem a bit insignificant to most of you but it was important for me to document and I am realizing this more so than ever.


Last week I hosted a crockpot class at my house. Let's just say the women weren't a fan of my can opener I have had since college. Ol' Rusty has seen better days but being the cheapo that you all know I am, I just kept pluggin' along with my carpal tunnel inducing mechanism.



However, there was one gal who thought I deserved to be treated better.


Sorry dear utensil friend. We have opened many a canned soup together but you have been replaced by something much prettier, younger and easier. So typical these days.


Rachel O...you are my new favorite person. It works like a champ.

I love the frowning face in the reflection of the can opener. Nice touch :)

I'm so sorry about your hard drive!! That's awful. Mine has crashed several times- and even if the hard drive's completely gone, my husband has always been able to get at least some stuff off of it!! Cool new gadget :)
