Computer crashes again...............UGHHHHHHHHH

I had a lovely laptop that made me happy everyday. I could get up and check my email,facebook friends, and generally do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it, if I wasn't working or doing those things we must all do in our lives like Housecleaning, cooking, or taking care of our families and their needs. One Saturday morning February 27 to be exact. I turned on my computer with the intention of checking emails and then getting off to do housecleaning. Then I couldnt get online at all with out my computer tryng to do a virsus scan from a program that I didnt have on my computer. Whenever I checked into it the program wanted me to pay for the new program. I followed my gut reaction and didnt buy it. Good thing I didnt because I found out it was a virsus and it would have taken my money and information and given me nothing in return. Now this happen the day before I was called to be primary president in our branch. I proceeded to take my laptop to a person who knows enough about computers to have him try and remove virsus come to find out it is a virus that very few people know much about but it will take over and it goes in so deep that you can't even find where it started. The advice given is to just buy new computer. I dont have the money for that right now. So he loans me an extra computer he has. I get it home hooked all up and then after having it about 3 weeks I turn it on one morning and it wont work. It starts running a scan I know from previous experience this is NOT good. I call and he says sounds like a virus again. Needless to say I am at library on the computer any extra time I have. He has the tower so he can clean it up and I can use it again.
Two things I have learned from this issue is that I need a computer at home so I can do and visit sites I need to for work and church anytime I can. The second thing I realize is that I don't have free time when library is opened. So I have to learn to reorganize my time. I also have to have an agenda when I come to library to use computers because they have an 1 hour limit unless no one wants to use computers. I have been lucky so far. I have been able to be on one for the time I need. So if you email me and I dont respond quickly don't take it personally cause I am coming whenever I can. Amazing how much we use technology in our lives these days.:) Talk about withdrawals of the technological proportions. You never really realize how much you use them for. My suggestion now is to put all pictures, family history, and any other things you dont want to lose on a a memory stick so when the computer monsters want what you have you wont be crying because they got your precious memories or hard work.

Random Thoughts from my rambling mind.....

Random Thought # 1
A couple of weeks ago I said that I like to read other peoples blogs. But,,, Some of the ones I follow don't update as often as I would like them to. But how can I judge them for not updating when I am not consistent either. Yes that is a rambling thought.
Random Thought # 2
Let's see I have now been in my new calling for almost 3 weeks now. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything yet. It has kept my mind busy lately. There has been moments of frustration (trying to figure out who would make good counselors and teachers) also moments of enlightenment (questions that I have had for years have been finally made clear to me.) Why are people so sure our church is true. I realize that I need to read the scriptures more and prayerfully contemplate what they are saying to me.
In being in this calling I am learning the Bible stories again.
Random Thought # 3
Why do we complain that it is too cold, or there is too much snow in the winter and wish for Summer but in Summer we want it to be cold again? I love winter but I also love to be warm. Makes no sense to me.....
Random Thought # 4
Am I being petty when I want to be acknowledged for my ideas and the work I put into my curriculum at work. Should I be upset when both of my co-workers in the classroom constantly call in sick (about once a week for one of them) but yet they get credit for my ideas when I am not there.
Random Thought # 5
Last but not least. I have some pretty cute little puppies that are playful and loving. I want to go scrap booking tomorrow but then I don't want to. I should go prepare my lesson and sharing time for church on Sunday instead of waiting until Saturday night.


See I told you my mind was rambling ! !

Inactive to Active in a nutshell

Who knew that after 8 years of being semi-active to totally in-active that I would with the encouragement of a friend decide to return to church.(Thanks Stacee I knew I should have given up the chocolate & coke instead) LOL. after going to church for most Sundays for 5 months every Sunday except for Fast Sunday that I would be where I am right now. We have a new Branch in Winterset and after a meeting with our Branch President on Sunday, I have been called to be the...............
PRIMARY PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am nervous and excited at the same time. I know this is what my Father in Heaven wants me to be doing right now. So hopefully since I am doing as he wants he will bless me with the knowledge and strength I need to accomplish this. Basically I am starting from scratch. I spent the day visiting with a friend who is the Primary President in her ward which I was a member of until February 14Th, getting her advice and some ideas on how to get started.(Thanks Kathy). Now I have to explain the night before this my computer became infected by a Trojan virus. And if there is anything I have figured out since then is that I NEED a computer. I use it for work and now I will definitely be using it for church. Thanks Brother Tory for letting me have use of an extra computer until I can replace mine.I was saying I needed something else to do on my days off and weekends besides being on Face book well now I have it.

Watch what you pray for................ LOL
