re booting

Got my computer back tonight. Now I'm working on putting what I had backed up back onto the computer. It seems I lost every photo since moving to Texas. That is really unfortunate. All the little photo shoots I had with the Honeybadger, his first birthday, Thanksgiving, the Hanson concert...all gone. I do have the few that were uploaded to blogs/facebook. I'll have to see what kind of quality I can get from those though...if they will be any good when printed out for scrapbooking.

Thank goodness for my friend David (not the baby). He has really been helping me fix up this new hard drive. I owe him lots. To make me feel better he sent me The Givers album "In the Light" which I am listening to right now. It rocks. I know I talked about them on here earlier, but ya'll need to go listen to their stuff. I love love love it.

Hard Drive

I haven't been writing as much as I would like to because last week I dropped my laptop. That's right. I dropped it. I don't know what happened. I picked it up, and then it just fell out of my hands. I destroyed my hard drive, which means I lost everything that wasn't backed up. The last time I backed up everything was in Oct or something, so this means I lost all of Honeybadger's first birthday photos, and my trip to the Grand Canyon with my Mom (among other things).

Let this be a lesson to you all. Back up your computers!

SXSW

It was another crazy week. Right after my Mom left town, my friend Joe came in. He stayed Wednesday-Tuesday. I just dropped him off at the airport this morning before work. He had super convenient flights, I was able to pick him and drop him off without missing work!

Austin was super crazy this week. One of the largest music festivals, South by South West was going on. We spent a lot of time downtown this weekend listening to bands and partying it up. St Patricks was a freaking blast. I ran into Taylor Hanson (of the bad Hanson) on the street one night at SXSW while wearing my Hanson tshirt (how freaking sweet) and ran in to Perez Hilton (celebrity blogger) and ran into Atlanta based DJ, La Castlevania in a club. I can't even tell you how much fun I had.

I am listening to this band all day. Joe bought the album last night and we sat on my patio drinking beers, listening to the Givers and enjoying the Texas storm we had last night. We saw this band Saturday afternoon, and they are def my fav to come out of SXSW.



Meanwhile, while I was out partying, Honey Badger was getting sick. He came down with a fever of 102 on Saturday afternoon and threw up all over the house. It is Tuesday afternoon and I am still washing furniture. Now he has this terrible cold again where has green snot running down his face 24/7. I've just been leaving a bib on him so catch it all and using it like one giant tissue. It really is as disgusting as it sounds.

It has been a crazy last two weeks. I haven't had any time to update this because both my mom and sister were in town visiting. The schedule has been completely thrown off with shopping trips, sight seeing and eating out. I just dropped my mom off at the airport, and David is sleeping. I'm getting ready for the house keepers to come later today.

I moved on Saturday from south of downtown Austin, to north. Same distance from where I work though, just a different direction. My new apartment is a huge upgrade. I have my own bathroom and a much bigger bedroom. My mom's friend in Austin gifted me a queen sized bed and box spring, so now I have a grown up bed (I was sleeping on a twin before because my room was so small, and beds so expensive). I'll post pictures of my apartment later this week after I get it more set up tonight.

Oh, and just for the record, David massively vomited in my car last week, while my mom and sister were in the back seat with him. So they got it, he got it, and most importantly, my new car really got it. He is still in a rear facing car seat, so he threw up all over my middle seat, ant then rubbed is feet all over it and smeared it everywhere. We had to pull over at Toys R Us and take everything out. I ended up taking my car to a professional car wash and having the seats shampooed and washed out. Yikes.
