Snow Day! Snow Day!

Yesterday was fun. Shawna and the kids were out of school. We played games, listened to J.T. present a lesson he plans to present at services tomorrow night, and had a good day together. Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather, the youth rally the church hosted today was cancelled. Thus, we have another day scheduled for family fun.

Oh, What a Day

So, here is the situation. I got up this morning and began updating my computer. Here it is almost 10:00 o'clock at night and and I am still at it. I updated, turned the computer back on after restarting, and found that my files were not where they normally are. I moved them to what I thought was the right location and had to restart again. I moved them to the temporary file! They deleted when the computer turned off. Oh, well, good thing I back up my files once a week, right? I backed up this past Wednesday so I thought I would restore, and only loose two days of information. And, for the most part, it worked just like that! For the most part. The backup file of MSOutlook was corrupted. I tried to repair and restore it. It did not work. Long story short, I lost ALL my Outlook information. No contacts. No email (for the past five years). No taks. No calendar appointments. At this point, my thought was, "Oh, well, I have all but the email on my phone." As it goes, I will sync it and all be okay and only be out the email (a big loss but small compared to the over 85 gigs of inormation. As it turned out, when I synced, the computer erased my phone instead of getting the informaiton off my phone. I had the setting wrong.

Now, I feel so ... empty.

It motivated me to find a backup program for my phone and will probably find a better system for the computer.

Oh, what a day!

Desk

As you can see from the title and the pictures, this is a desk.

I worked on it over a period of one week with my grandfather. It was not really a full week because there was one day we were not there. I had to rearrange my room to fit it in. And, we decided to get rid of my television in the process. Now, I think I am going to go because I am running out of ideas. Keep reading the family of N.
