michelle my belle: plans change!

plans change!

i had to laugh when i reread the last post...
"spend some good focused time in my home studio painting & not on the computer."
i think i really made my computer mad!
it completely bit the dust on Sat.
thank my GOOD GOD that i actually had a back up.
i took it in to the mac gurus here in portland and they informed me that it has a bad battery, bad panel thingy (can't remember exactly what they said) and a bad hard drive. boooo :(
the good news is- it's still within the 3 yr. apple care and they are sending it back to apple to get it all fixed up!
i can't do without a computer so I ended up getting a new one and will be gifting that one to my oldest, who really needed a computer for college anyways.

now that i'm back up and running, and mentally over the dent in my pocketbook, i'm thrilled to have a new computer!

oh, and as far as those goals...
i accomplished them all except for the swim and a few peppermint patties. :)

Hey, I like the wallpaper on your new Mac ;-)

oh the joys of technology... and yes... what inspiring wallpaper... makes you want to reach out and grab a brush and start painting! Oops... that could be distracting when you're having to focus on business though.
