Apologies

I want to apologize to those that read my second to last blog. I have been told and rightly so that I was wrong to be so angry. My parents and I should have all known to have a back up to anything on our computer but we didn't think wisely and now we are paying for that in the loss of our family pictures and our works of writing. It was not the computer guys fault though he is trying now to get the information he said he would. I was just really mad but I should not have let it affect me as it did. So I'm apologizing to any that were offended or think that I was in the wrong for my words that time.

Thank you JESUS!!!! I have my novel! It has been stored for I don't know how long on my USB port or whatever its called. I also found the notebook that has the timeline that I created in it. So I can get what I don't have there again. Since what I recovered from that little carry thing is not all that I had written it is most of it so I'm a little less stressed...but still really mad because all my poetry and other writings and all our family photos and photos of the puppies and everything is all gone....so the computer guy won't be receiving any thanks or forgiveness from me just yet. Harsh maybe but true.

TICKED OFF!!!!

Hello everyone! As I mentioned in my last entry we have had some computer difficulties. As in our computer crashed. So we sent it to a guy that said he would retrieve our files, writings photos music etc...and then install a new harddrive while he installed the new hard drive but forgot the other stuff that he said he would save for us. THat means that all my writing and my novel that I've been working on for years is gone. If he does not have it somewhere in his shop and get it to us I am going to be extremely mad. Not just a little mad no very very pissed off. I'm sorry I should be nicer but he said that he would be able to save our files but he didn't! And we paid him to not only add the new harddrive but to save everything and so if he doesn't have the stuff he better give us some of our money back! Alright that is my rant. Now to see if I can't somehow discover where my origninal notebooks of my stories have gone to. Brandi that also means the Tansia story is on hold since I don't know where the notebook with that is either and hence I don't have what I had written. So it will be a while before you have something to read over for me. Please excuse me while I go steam in silence...

computer malfunction

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. We have had a computer malfunction at home. The computer crashed. So I am currently at the Library using their computer while doing some research at the same time for a story. Things have been alright in my life but for the fact that one of my Great-Uncles passed away while my parents were gone. They were able to stay in Rockford for the funeral but I wasn't able to say goodbye to a great man. I miss him. He died from cancer. He was a life long strong Cardinals fan. I was able to attend a game with him and his wife this past summer when we all got together for the family reunion. Then a few months later he was diagnosed with cancer and then he quickly succumb to the disease. From what I gather from my mom his wife is struggling with the loss which is perfectly understandable. You could see at the reunion that they were still as much as in love as ever. Pray for her and his family, my grandfather on my mom's side was his brother. This is a hard time for us because we loved him dearly. Sorry that I haven't written much but I'm running low on time on the computer and I have more research that I need to do. Talk to you all later.

new looks

I found another site that is amusing and helpful in my writing. It is a makeover website, http://www.dailymakeover.com/makeover/virtualMakeover, it is fun to play around and it helps me figure out the coloring and face shape that I want to use for a character. I also am using it to try and figure out what I want to do with my hair. I love it long and still want to grow it out even longer but I would like to do something to spice up my style so I've been playing around on the site.

Now on to other things. In two days my parents will be heading to Chicago without me. My dad is going to be attending the Midwinter conference and I will be left here with the dogs for company. Now I'm not saying that is entirely a bad thing but I had really wanted to go to Chicago with my parents so that I could see my friends there. We just can't afford to put the dogs in the kennel for that long. Anyway I'll have to figure out something fun to do while my parents are away...and I'll have to do it around taking care of the animals...can't forget about cinnamonbuns our bunny. Well I hope that you all have a nice weekend. Take care!

found a new fun site!

Bonjour mes amis ! Je vous manque tout !

In English that means Hello my friends! I miss you all!

I found this website today to help me with my stories, I have a character that was born and raised french but living in the US. And though I have a small understanding I needed help to be believable in writing. So I looked to translation websites and found this one. http://www.freetranslation.com/ it is a wonderful site and very helpful. It won't just translate french and english back and forth but it will translate several other languages as well. It may be a little bit cheating but hey whatever works I think.

memories with fire

I had an interesting experience today. I went to light a match to light a candle for my mom and after I had struck the match on the box and it took flame the match broke dropping the burning part to the carpet! Luckily I was able to get the match and blow out the flame before too much damage was done. My mom was sitting there watching as it happened and said that she guessed I didn't need Heidi there to help me burn down the house. It was from an incident with one of my best childhood friends and a burning paper plate. If you want the details ask. But I still smile and laugh at how stupid we were to have candles and paper plates so near each other we burnt a mark into the tile of the bathroom floor. This time there is only a few fibers that will need trimmed to get rid of the melted carpet part. But it made me think of how quick a fire could spread. How we are supposed to be on fire for God. We are to spread that fire through our actions catching others on fire for God as well. Now I'm not saying take a match and light someone on fire that would be wrong...I'm saying go out and show others the wonder that is God and light a fire under them so that they are desperate to find what that wonder is and how they can have it for themselves.
