So one of my Christmas gifts was my hard drive crapping out. I thought the sounds emanating from my computer possibly belonged to a squirrel storing nuts for the winter. Thankfully, Nathan correctly identified the sound as “imminent hard drive failure” and advised me to back up all of my data. Not two hours later, the hard drive had indeed died, and so my lifeline to the great big world out yonder had been cut.
Thanks to Fry’s and a handsome technically inclined spouse, I am now able to keep exposing the contents of my mind to you! I am so happy I just drank two glasses of wine.
So people, if ever your computer starts making gentle knocking sounds not unlike a small animal setting up shelter, BACK YO DATA UP. Oh, and find yourself a cute nerd and at least shack up with them.

I gotta back you up on this one, marrying a techie WAS the wisest move I’ve made to date…the fact that he’s your hubby’s bro just means we are some of the wisest women on the planet. Cheers.
