And so the Countdown begins!

Only 101 days left to the 60-mile walk! Should I be saying "Yippie!" or "Yikes!" LOL :)

I just ordered my second pair of asics - these are the same as the first pair but in black. And I ordered a self inflating twin mattress.

Its all about planning, preparing and training! Woohoo!

And yes, I do know I need to post the photos up from my last shopping expedition, and this one...

And I know I've been away, and not updating the blog. BUT its just been one of those (last) weeks! I lost a cavity filling on Thursday morning - which explained why brushing my teeth was so sensitive! And then in the office I ended up spilling a while grande cup of Starbucks coffee all over my laptop! I am never going to take the lid off and lick the foamy milk off.  Oh, and it was a triple-shot Caramel Macchiato! :(  So, you can imagine how yummy the foamy milk was! :'( On the way home, my SIGG bottle leaked on my Blackberry, so that was out of commission too!

Anyway, laptop is dead. Completely dead. Work shipped a replacement machine, which came on Friday. And I tried and tried to remove the hard drive from that and try coffee'd drive in there, just to see if it worked, and just couldn't take the darn drive out! I went to Frys late Friday night (just before they were closing - so imagine the long and crazy lines at the checkout) with the new laptop, and coffee'd hard drive to purchase a portable hard drive reader like this one. The technician looked at the new laptop when I explained I couldn't get the hard drive out, and he looked at me, as if I was a blonde, and said "it's screwed in!" DUH!  I mean, the coffee'd laptop didn't have the hard drive screwed in, so I didn't know! Who would think I worked in technology? . I tried the hard drive reader on the new machine, and then my home laptop with the new hard drive - just to check that the reader wasn't faulty - and it wasn't. I'm unable to recover my data from my hard drive. Its dead. I've learned a valuable lesson - always, Always, ALWAYS make regular backups and be more careful when you have a full cup of coffee near a laptop! :(

Oh, the BB is up and running again. On Saturday morning I surfed the internet as to how I could pull it apart, and came across several posts about leaving the phone in some uncooked rice. Uncooked rice sucks the moisture out. So, thats what I did. And on Monday evening, put the phone back together (battery, case, etc) and it works! :)

And so, I need to make a dentist appointment to get my cavity filled ... again! I only had it filled in February this year! Ouch!
