Short (unplanned) Break

December 28, 2011
tags:

While I had many posts and reviews planned in my head, I hadn’t gotten around to drafting them in WordPress and scheduling them. The hard drive died on my computer (cue tears) and so at present I’m limited to what I can do via the iPhone (I love technology).

Hopefully will be back with reviews and real posts soon…

In more exciting news, I got a new bookshelf for Christmas from my Opa and I set it up last night. Best thing about it? The fact that the model is called a ‘library’ :)

    I love that your brand-new bookcase is completely stuffed. :-)

    Good job, Opa!

      Well clearly. Though in my defense this shelf replaced one that was smaller, so most of the books came from it Amanda.

    The bookshelf looks great! And like I said on FB, so sorry about your computer :\ I hope there’s some chance of recovering the lost files.

    I hope the problems resolve soon. The bookshelf looks great!

      Thanks maphead, I’m quite happy with it. Also, it’s almost all nonfiction on it :D

    Oh man, I’d be crying, too! I hope it’s fixable…or replaceable?

    Also, Opa did good. That’s a lovely book shelf.

      It is the work-laptop and still under warranty so replaceable Jill, thankfully, but eecks really hoping I get some of the files off but it’s not looking likely.

    Losing your hard drive stinks! I’m impressed that you were able to post from your phone – you’ll have to show me how if you ever come back this way. It looks like your Opa knows you well.

      I have the iPhone Kathy, and WordPress has an app! Hopefully I am back in that area to give a tutorial :) Good reason for me to go back. heh

    That rots about your computer ;( However, I love your new bookshelf! And its called the library – how awesome is that!?! Makes me want to get a new bookshelf. Hmmm. Anyhow, love the pic of the new shelf and all those books :)

      Thanks Nadia, I’m glad I have the new shelf to make up for loss of computer. And yes… I really want another one now ;) heh

    Love the shelf and the way you organized it! I am sorry to hear about your computer though, and hope that it gets fixed very soon! If I don’t see you again before the new year, I wish you a very Happy New Year!

    • December 29, 2011 9:05 pm

      Thanks zibilee, I’m a big fan of it too. And sadly seems like no fix until next Tuesday perhaps. But I guess could be worse! Happy New Year to you as well :)

    Your bookshelf looks very cute all set up like that. :)

    I’m impressed by your achievements on the iPhone! I can’t blog on mine at all. Sorry about your technological problems.
