On Friday last week I lost my beloved friend, my laptop (sorry don’t mean to sound overly dramatic but I was and still am so upset.)
My son spilled water all over it and with tears and frantic sobs we took it to the Apple Store and sadly it was lost. The hard drive was saved but never will it turn on again
I know it is just a laptop and I had it for 6 years so technically I was due for an upgrade but I can still remember saving all my tips from waitressing to get this one thing I had wanted for years. I remember going in and picking it out paying with it on my debit card that had all my savings π©π©π©
So many Skype dates I had on it from friends all over the world π’
I will be sad for a bit but I am a dramatic person so this will past…
I am mainly upset because I noticed when I read WordPress Reader on my phone some posts didn’t show up like they did on my laptop. I never understood why but I didn’t bother to find out since I thought I would just have my laptop π’π© Hopefully I don’t miss too many posts but I do try to go through the Reader mainly at night or early mornings to catch up with everyone.
Anyways, enough of my self pity
Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday. It’s finally hot hot hot here so we are going to the pool to cool off.
P.S.
I posted this on our Instagram but wanted to share my new Bite Beauty lipstick. It’s from their Lip Lab Limited Release and I just love how they are getting better and better. Hope to post more about them soon
Xoxoxo

Cheer up Janet! Your Apple was loved. But yeah, I hate when that happens I still can’t find my missing iPad mini. π’ & I never loose things. I still have my Walkman from Junior high. Oh well, I should give up hoping for it to turn up since it has been months… Have a lovely day.πΉ

It was the worst! I went into Mall of America crying over a laptop and I think I looked really pathetic because they went from not having anyone able to help me to getting someone to help me right away. The effort was made and it was a sad day π

I freaked out when my touch pad stopped being able to click, and had to bring it in to get fixed, and they felt so sorry for me that they put a super rush on the repair and I got it back in four hours! So I totally understand the feeling!

Awe I’m so sorry to hear about your laptop Janet π¦ Don’t you hate when that happens? My Mom recently spilled water on hers and ruined it but luckily Ron fixed up another laptop for me to bring to her when I went to visit. Are you going to be getting another one soon? I know they can be quite expensive though. At least you have that gorgeous lipstick! β€ That color is so beautiful!!! π xoxo

Thanks Katie! That’s awesome Ron was able to fix one for your mom π He is a keeper! I almost bought a new one that day but felt overwhelmed and felt like it was all so fast and needed time to say good bye to my old laptop. It’s funny I am always the super dramatic one in my family but I get way too attached to certain things. I hope to get one in July or August. The lipstick is gorgeous!! I can’t wait to wear it π

So sorry that happened! Something similar happened to me, my daughter was jumping around on my bed and cracked my ipad screen so bad I couldn’t use it anymore and it had been a gift from my husband. He went and picked it out himself and the case I had said I loved and he had them wrap it up so beautifully. It just made me sad to not have it anymore! I get attached to things also! Hope you are able to replace it.

Ah, I can relate to that feeling! Secretly, I think I’m “married” to my laptop π
It was broken a few weeks ago, but it could be fixed, luckily! It’s around 4-5 years old, so I’m glad it is still working.
What laptop will you get next?

You were very lucky, I thought mine could have been fixed but sadly that was not the case π I haven’t really looked into which one next. The Apple Store and Microsoft Soft are right across from each other and while I love my MacBooks I am curious to see what’s on the other side π

Oh that really stinks! I once spilled ice tea all over my computer and it was fried. This was many years ago and I swear once it happens you’re so much more careful to have liquids around your electronics. Well, I guess this is the world letting you know it’s time for an upgrade. I hope you get a replacement soon! Xo
