Far From Wordless Wednesday

I dropped my external hard drive a while back, and my heart is still bleeding over it.  Stealing my own pictures from Four Squares and mindlessly playing with Poladroid helped to get me through the worst of the mental anguish, but I still lie awake nights and sigh over that picture of my Goobs that didn't make the blog because JellyMan was wearing boxer shorts and a jester hat and Anemone had chocolate in her hair.  Not that I would ever be ashamed of chocolate smeared, half nekkid Goobers.  No, sir.  It's just that those chocolate smeared, half nekkid Goobers would string me up by my toes and use me for a dart board if I ever dared post a picture like that.  Jeez, just writing about a picture like that subjects me to enough drama to make my eyes bleed.

"Mom!  How could you?  You're ruining my life!  I wanted to be a Supreme Court justice, and now nobody will nominate me because it's in print that I was photographed in boxers and a jester hat!"

"Mom!  How could you?  You're ruining my life!  I had chocolate in my hair!  That's so boring!  Why couldn't you tell them I was wearing boxers and a jester hat?"

Anyway.  Now the hard drive in my practically new (I haven't even spilled anything in the keyboard yet!) desktop has crashed, which means that I've lost every digital picture I've ever taken.  Again.  Except for these:

 

 

 

These were in an email I sent to myself a few months ago.  This particular email also contained a recipe for "Swiss & Mater" pie, a knitting stitch pattern, and this lovely haiku:

The bird poo in my
hair feels better than the cow
poo in my sneaker.

I must have written that haiku about JellyMan because, as you know, girls don't work the farm.

You know the military is forever all about back-up. Harping and harping and harping on it. A lot of it is simply redundant.

Yet, I'll be backing-up my photos today to disk.

I'm so terribly sorry for you!

[Applie]

I am sorry about your hard drive. :(

At least you have the haiku, that is very important.

Why did A. have chocolate in her hair?

[Tressa]

I am so, so sorry. :(

Hi Melanie,
Hope all is well with you. I was going to ask why you haven't posted lately but then I realized I haven't posted since the same date LOL. Plus I know you are probably way busy with the move. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you:)
