technology fail

I've never thought of myself as technologically challenged, until lately. All the awesome things we can do these days make me want to sing Kip's wedding song to LaFawnduh. (I don't have to link it, do I? Okay fine.) But, these past few months it seems like it's been one technical difficulty after another.

First, I lost my camera a few months ago. Then, several weeks ago our internet started acting up. Then, a few days ago I ended up with a dying laptop battery, no power cord and still spotty internet... but at least, at least I had my phone. And finally, on Saturday, my very last connection to the outside world went down the toilet. Literally, Isaac threw my phone into the toilet. Even after being instantly rescued by a friend (who will remain unnamed--but wow, when your friend reaches into a toilet for your phone, that's love) it still sputtered out and died.

The good news is, things are looking up...

New camera: check.
Computer and power reunited: check.
Internet fixed, hopefully for the last time: check.
Replacement phone: on its way.

Sigh. When I started this blog, one thing I was wary of was that it might start dragging because I would feel obligated, rather than excited, to keep it updated. But blogging is still so fun! If it weren't for this massive, continuous technology fail, who knows where we would be today. My guess is, realistically, not far from where we are today. It's always something, right? Ah well.

Okay technology, I forgive you.

But don't ever do it again.


Imagining the future conversations we'll have about these pictures...
Mom, what were those big green things?
What's mail?
What's paper?
Oy.

  1. I'm so glad you're getting a new phone. That was a doozy!

    No more excuses after this. I need at least one post a day from this blog...at least one.

    And the paper thing! So true. Does this make us sound old saying stuff like this? Yeah.
