lost at c
I had an entire post written up, it was brilliant and took me a ton of time and effort, but my computer farted/burped/barfed/fucked me over and I lost everything. This is not the first time this has happened to me and yes I should have saved it sooner but fuck me this should not have happened at all. I’m pissed about it now and I don’t have enough time to rewrite everything. We came in from the lake last night and I worked all day today and we’re heading back out tomorrow as soon as I am off work and the groceries are boughten. If only I had a word processor that I could take out with me I could post like a madwoman when I get home every week without scrambling trying to put it all together in a hurry.
I’m crabby now.
I guess my tale will have to wait until next week to be told or I may just say ‘fuck it’ and not bother rewriting it at all. Like I’m punishing my mac for being a cunt. Yes, I said the “c” word and I meant it!! Maybe I will take a pen and some paper out with me tomorrow and try to write the old fashioned way…blah. Now that I can type if blows to have to write longhand, not to mention that my long hand is shit and most of the time I can’t even read my own scrawl. Maybe I need a dictaphone…or ice cream.
Hmph.
Beyond all of that I had a good birthday, I appreciated all of the greetings and a special thanks to Miss Krissy (Honeychild) for the beautiful necklace and earrings I received this afternoon in the mail. I love them, they are gorgeous and I am so touched that she thought of me. Thanks sweets, the gift means more to me than you know.
Alright, enough blathering about since I am not posting anything terribly noteworthy I might as well keep it brief. I would like to apologize for being a lousy blog friend at the moment, as I mentioned I am not home much these days and while I try to catch up with everyone there is a time factor…I am on a hectic camping schedule! I will catch up eventually but until then know I am thinking of all of you, I miss you and hope you are all well and enjoying your summer…or winter depending on your hemisphere.
Speaking of winter…it’s supposed to get down to 6 Celsius here tonight, yes that’s 42F(ucking) degrees American and bloody near freezing!!!! I’ve said it before and I will say it again, GLOBAL WARMING MY ASS!!! It’s the end of July not the beginning of October! After our seven months of winter I was hoping for a hot dry summer and it’s been cold and rainy. I’ve been determined to enjoy this summer despite the crap weather. Oh yeah, that and the fact that my husband has been laid off again (for two weeks this time and when they return it will be to three shifts a week), plus we’re having issues with the boy’s health care coverage while he’s working in Indiana, plus plus plus I think I am PMS’ing which doesn’t help anything at all. I am trying to let go of all of the worries so that I can chill and just enjoy life for a while without the stresses and pressures. It’s not total denial, we know we have to make some decisions soon but the cabin is our priority at the moment…we have to get the roof on it before snow flies or we’ll lose everything we’ve put into it. Let me just say the universe is not making stress free living easy for me right now. My cunty computer isn’t helping either. Apparently the universe thinks I need a lesson in patience. I’d be happy with a lesson in document recovery.

Oh Ben, that sucks cock! I bet the post was stellar too!
I’m sorry to hear things aren’t looking up with hubby’s job. Damnit, I was really hoping things would turn around.
I’ve woken many times this “summer” to temps sitting at +5C. Whatever. I’m still wearing shorts. Fuck it!

Happy Belated! We would’ve called, but we knew you were not there, so screw ya! (much love nonetheless)
Tried to msn you, but was denied for some reason. I’ll try not to take it personal
Has your MacUnt had all of it’s software updates done, because that might keep it from bleurphing your stuff. I know on dial up it would probably take a hundred years… maybe take it in to Trixies and abuse her connection for a day (that just sounds wrong, but I’m not deleting it)
Make sure to get all that shitty weather out of the way by the time we come back to the lake, please.

Happy Belated Birthday Ben! I’m sorry to hear that your computer is acting up, that always sucks and is frustrating. I’m also sorry to hear about your husbands job. I hope things work out when he gets back to work.
You know how much I love winter, but 42 F(ucking) degrees right now wouldn’t feel that great at the end of July!

That sucks! I am usually too lazy to write a post at all. Let alone a good one. Let alone write the whole bloody thing twice…!

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope Heiny gave you a wonderful present.
I soooooooooooooo wish I could join you at the lake. I have seen the pics and think it’s absolutely glorious looking. I cannot imagine just being able to escape to the mountains that way.
In any case, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! There is plenty of time for blogging and catching up on blogs during the cold winter months that are lurking around the corner.

Happy Birthday, I don’t like that it’s late and I’m telling you that now, but it still counts right??
Come to Idaho, and you’ll sweat your ass off, and perhaps get a nice sunbrun at the same time. hehe

Happy Belated B-Day ben, I’ll have to fashion something for you…let me know colours, size and things like that.
About everything else (and I’m a fine one to talk…not!) in with the good out with the bad. Breathe baby it’ll be okay.

All I can say is…HAPPY BERFDAY!!!
And don’t worry about the patience thing, I don’t have any either. If it’s supposed to come with age, I must still be 22 years old.

Happy birthday, my fellow Leo!
I certainly don’t blame you for taking as much lake time as possible, especially with as many sunny days as you have left, and as AWESOME(!!!) as your lake is.
I want a lake.
I’m jealous.
But… Um… I have Le Tar-Jay… so… umm… Nanner-Nanner-Nanner!
(Not a fair trade off. Your Lake might be better than Tar-Jay, but I’ll only admit it just this once.) :p

Happy Belated Birthday, Beautiful Ben!! I woulda said something sooner, but was in Oklahoma when the birthdays hit for you & my daughter. *sigh*
Spend as much time at the lake as ya can, enjoy every single minute of it. If can can’t get the entire cabin’s roof on, at least get the wood down & then nail a couple of tarps to the wood. At least, that’s how the poor hicks I’ve known in life do it.
If nothing else, relocate to S. Dakota. We’ve got jobs, we’ve got lakes and we’ve got houses. And then you & I could go to Tar-Jay & the lakes for fun.
