It use to be a 3 bedroom condo with 20+ of us packed in there like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">sardines</span>. Now that we all have our own families and individual schedules with meals, naps, and bed times it has come to the point where each family gets their own condo on the same street! It's a tradition that we just can't break and for the most part of it I look forward to it every summer! The days of absorbing the sun and closing my eyes to enjoy the sounds of the ocean are LONG GONE! Now I'm counting kids every 3 minutes, packing huge coolers of juice boxes and P&J's, chasing shovels and boogie boards into the surf and taking bathroom breaks every 30 minutes! All that aside it's amazing to see my daughter running and laughing with all her cousins just like I did growing up.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">This year I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite things and what's going to be in my beach bag this summer...</span><br /><ol><li><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Cetaphil</span> came out with a NEW Moisturizer...</span><a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=205132&catid=21503"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">UVA</span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">UVB</span> Defense Facial Moisturizer SPF 50</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">!

I frequently remind myself that I need to back up my files ESPECIALLY all of my embroidery designs. Well just thinking about it obviously didn't help! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">The unthinkable happened this weekend! On Saturday I inserted a CD of Jpegs that I received in the mail from one of my wholesalers and with in seconds my WHOLE ENTIRE HARD DRIVE WAS DELETED!!!</span></div><div> </div><div align="center"><span style="color:#330000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:130%;">"FFFFFFUUUUUDDDDDDGGGGGGEEEEEEE!!!" </span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">I screamed like Ralphie from "A Christmas Story"... WTH just happened?!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">Unsure of what the black screen with blue text meant I immediately called 911! (My IT neighbor) and interrupted his family cookout. OMG, neighbor, I think my laptops dead! You have to come over....Stat! This man has 20+ years of IT experience surely he'll know what to do! After many attempts to reboot the look on his face told me the outcome looked grim!<br /></span></div><div><span style="color:#330000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Where's your back up drive, he asked??</em> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">I don't have one! </span></div><div><em><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">What do you mean?</span></em></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">What do you mean what do I mean...I don't back up! </span></div><div><span style="color:#330000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>You don't back up?</em> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND??? </span></div><div><span style="color:#330000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><em>Oh geez Kristen...you really need to keep a back up!</em> </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">OK, must we add salt to ulcers that are forming in my stomach as we speak? I'm about to loose my best friend to a deadly virus and you're giving me a lecture?? FIX HER!! </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">So off he went with my best friend in tow...across the street...I'll be back in a minute he shouted!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">I took that literally....I sat looking out the window for about an hour waiting for their return. Once I saw him flipping burgers on the grill I assumed my BF was in stable condition and it was replenishing its fluids or something. Never heard from neighbor the rest of the night...:O(</span></div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">After a sleepless night of tossing and turning I couldn't help but reminisce on all the "Memories" I hoped she'd remember...would she recognize me after she woke up...would she have saved all the gifts I had given her in the last year...how about all the contacts she had made...would she recognize them again? UGH...the pain was unbearable!<br /></span></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">The next morning I paced the floors...eager for her return! Although everyone I talked to was sympathetic no one really understood. I heard alot of "Kristen, it's not the end of the world", or "Things could be alot worse" and I agreed....I began to question my state of mind. Were these feelings warranted? After all it IS just a laptop! But I couldn't brush it off...I felt sense of overwhelment as my blackberry chimed with new emails...new orders...and Blogger Love! "Dear God", I cried..."Why me??" what am I going to do? EVERYTHING'S GONE! Months and Months of work down the drain...shoot me, shoot me NOW!!! Ok, alil Diva-ish and dramatic but at that moment this situation was right up there w/cancer!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">Then a knock at the door..."Good News", says neighbor! "I was able to save your embroidery designs, your emails and favorites! Bad News, The rest is corrupted and needs to be euthanized!" Ahhh...this is Good News!! The Cancer can be cured and although the recovery may take some time my BF will be surfing again soon!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;">"THANK YOU SO MUCH, NEIGHBOR!!! I'M FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU!!"</span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#330000;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Lesson Learned!! Just like my attempts to dodge cancer by not smoking or staying out of the sun . The way I obsess over cleaning mine and my daughters hands with antibacterial wipes to prevent the spread of germs...I will also back-up my best friend to insure her good health can be restored even after a "Brush of Virtual Death".</span></span>Chaotic Creations by Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12548647469685060245noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153688663897361457.post-76790828232980258442009-06-12T16:59:00.014-04:002009-06-12T20:51:01.388-04:00Have a GREAT Weekend!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOv_5_QAd3v1OVcYqNthw0b2STXLe6ih12YCZtqhusa9JL7Lg3RZshq9iNhG-qnUw4RtXSIYbw6C1cEUyh00cymNg1MCDVH_xcXXf7-gmcobQcA-TgAvY6dqp42w8fGPZOAHrtxObvF0/s1600-h/funny+friday.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346550232434711954" style="DISPLAY: block;
