Busy busy

I know it's been forever since I have posted but the last couple of weeks have been busy beyond belief. I have had more doctors appointments than I can count, many school functions and a heartbreaking computer issue that turned out all right in the end.

On that last note; Learn from my gigantic enormous mistake. Do not get lazy in backing up your digital pictures. I had over five thousand digital memories stored on a USB mass storage device that decided to poop out on me. I was able to recover over 90 percent of the files (Thank you Troy for the link to the fantastic "Recover My Files" software) but it took four days and hard cash to fix my error. I sobbed when it happened and cried when I got it back. If your pictures are irreplaceable and priceless to you then BACK THEM UP ONTO CD!!!! It is a heartwrenching feeling when you think they are gone. BUT if you make the mistake of not doing so and you think they are deleted or your drive accidentally gets reformatted google "recover my files" they let you download a trial version of the software to see what can be recovered before you have to pay $70.00 to buy the program. The only issue was that I did not have enough hard drive space on my main computer to save them (you cant recover and save to the same drive)so I ended up having to buy a second USB storage device. Anyway, it all worked out in the end. Now I will have to go and buy two hundred CD's and have a back up party!!!! It's just easier to back them up as you go along.
