I have so much to blog about, including our trip to Jamaica and finally finishing our fireplace facade build, but I really try not to do personal stuff on my work laptop, and typing this on my Kindle Fire HD is not very conducive to blogging, especially since I can't easily get my photos on my Kindle. Luckily just by chance I did a big hard drive back up on Sunday, so at least I didn't lose much!
I'm still holding out hope that my husband might be able to fix it with some tips I found online about soldering the power source back to the motherboard, since I'm not really in the mood to spend money on a new laptop, or learn how to use Windows 8 at the moment. I hear it's a lot better with a touch screen, but touch just seems awkward to me on a laptop, with constantly having to reach over the keyboard. I might not have much choice though, if my old laptop can't be fixed soon--I'm already having withdrawals and it's only been a few days!
In other news, my husband sprained his ankle playing soccer on Tuesday. We think it's sprained anyway, not that he's actually been willing to go to a doctor yet. So yesterday I went out and bought him crutches, so we could still use our tickets to see Dave Chappelle last night in downtown Raleigh. This was the second time we'd seen him live, and he was just as funny was he was back in 2004. Fun fact, the first time we saw him it was for the taping of his live show at the Fillmore in San Francisco, and you can see us a couple of times when they show the audience in the video, since we were sitting in the fifth row. Last night we were only in the 10th row, but it was still a great show.
His ankle might put a damper on our weekend plans though, since we were planning on kicking off our garage makeover on Saturday. We've decided that tackling the garage just makes the most sense to work on next, since I have all of this furniture I want to make, and we're constantly in and out of there when working on all our other house projects. And as you saw in my last house tour, it definitely needs some help in the organization department!
