I need to learn not to touch stuff

I really need to learn not to touch stuff once I have fix it. About two and a half weeks ago I finally called about my hard drive making all kinds of noise and running very slow. I had just got the hard drive for Christmas this past December. I call Western Digital, it’s still under warranty. They sent me a new one and I had to send my old one back. I had already backed everything up. I finally got every thing replaced, installed and working.

I start reading about Ubuntu again. I really missed playing with it. I had it installed ages ago. I think even before I had my current computer build. I tied installing it and it totally messed up my new hard drive. It will no longer boot Windows nor Ubuntu from the install.

Currently I backed up all files on a external hard drive and trying to run Window’s Startup Repair in hopes it can fix my hard drive I just got from Western Digital. For some reason it turned my hard drive to a RAW state not a NTFS. Not sure what happen but whatever. I have learned my lesson. I just hope I don’t have to buy a new hard drive and this one will work. Otherwise I might be doing everything from the laptop until I get some extra money.

Right this moment I am saving every dime for next week when my Cammie will be here visiting for a whole week. We haven’t spent a whole week together since 2010. I need time with her more then my hard drive at this moment.

Evernote is love

I don’t know if I have said this before or not but I truly love Evernote. It has made my life so much easier for blogging, keeping all my recipes and keeping all my confirmations from online bill pay. I even have my friends linked to my recipes that way we can share food ideas. It keeps track of it all from my iPhone, iPad, computer and laptop. It handles it all. It’s worth the $5 a month for premium. I haven’t even come close to meeting my limit and I have copied over about 246 blog entires and still have many years to move over. I am a happy camper.

You know what I miss?

I use to be so awesome at this blogging thing and then I started working full time, school full time and a husband. WTF??

I miss the internet. I miss my web sites. . .most of all I miss designing for no reason. I really want to just sit down and code a site from start to finish just because. . . 🙁 This makes me a sad hippo!

Also, it was my grandmother’s 73rd birthday today. I took her out for dinner and we went shopping all day. I really enjoy those days. 🙂 My grandmother is an awesome women. And without her I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I am thankful everyday I have another day with her.

PS: Kyle got me a iPod touch 4th gen (Piggy is it’s name). I do love it! I like it way better than my iPhone, why because I can use it as an iPod not my life line.
