My computer has been fixed. My brother is an angel, and so is my father. They helped me to get this all fixed, and really it was mostly my brother. My dad just gave me a new monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Love it!
So I have started creating again, and now I am working on some new kits. I have like 4 that I need to make, and hopefully I will be able to get some of them up on my other blog soon. YAY!!

SO the problems are ALMOST OVER!
Here is what has been going on, sadly I have to catch up a lot!!
So, the last time I posted was... A while ago. I have a season pass to Disneyland, YAY!! I got it when we went for Alex's Birthday! It was Fantastic to go and know that I can come back! So we went and I was able to see it through the eyes of a child which hasn't happened for a really long time. It was amazing to be so excited about everything. To see the characters, to see the rides and the shows, to see them all as if they were all real. He was so excited, he kept yelling out their names, and he picked where we went.
Then my best friend in Utah came down and stayed with me for 5 days. I was SO happy to have her come down, my mom came to the airport to pick her up with me. We got to go to Disneyland on Wednesday and go on the FAST rides. Surprisingly California Adventure had drained their lake and they were working on some new light show that is going to start next year in the spring and took out a few of the rides that are on the lake too.
We also went on Toy Story Mania, which by the way is SO much fun! And we then toured the Tortilla factory, and went over to Disney and spent the rest of the day there after lunch. We DID go to Build-A-Bear and built each other a stuffed animal and dressed them and all. (So my idea, I know, I am a nerd at times. But it was fun! And we have something nice!) I got a Snow White Bear, and she got a Belle Koala. VERY CUTE!
So we spent that time there, and I had to work sadly the rest of the time. But luckily we didn't have to spend ALL our time left at my job. We bought the Twilight Movie, we hung out, and laughed and talked just like old times. It really made me miss her. And then I took her to the airport on Sunday. It was SO hard to let her go back to Utah, because she is such a wonderful friend. But I did what I had to, and it was nice to have some time with my friend.
I have also helped my sister with sewing some clothes for her daughter. She is making 2 dresses, a skirt, and my mom made her some pajamas. My mother also made her a dress, so my niece will have 3 dresses when all is said and done. But the funny thing, the pajamas are HUGE on her. She is SO petite, and the pajamas are absolutely too big. It looks really funny, but she also looks VERY cute!
I am currently working with my brother on trying to get my computer to work, and getting my programs back on it for the designs I am doing, and getting the internet back on it so I can post more of what I am working on. I have a LOT Of stuff to do when I get the internet back, so my sister will not have to worry about me using her system any more. I AM SO grateful that she is letting me use her computer and internet.
Work is good, things are going well. I have regular clients now, and I have people referring which is always a pleasure. And I have a lot of headaches, but I am working on solving that as well. So all in all, it's a good life.
I am working on gettine more friends out here, I need to get more involved with the singles. I don't want to, really. They are VERY immature, and very annoying. But It's something I need to do, darn it. Just got to swallow my pride, open up, and say Hi. You never know, someone may be waiting for me just around the corner right?

So much has happened...
So I guess I should start with the MOST important one...
I KILLED MY COMPUTER!!! (Cries)
What happened is that I was working on some kits for the scrap booking thing, and it suddenly froze. It has been having problems with freezing lately, and programs not opening like it should, and so I thought it was just nothing. I thought I needed to restart it.
Well.... I held down the power button, and it went off. I pushed it again, thinking I had taken care of the problem to have a big, blue screen come up saying that Windows had an error and was stopped from running to protect my computer. I thought, hey no big deal. I had run a virus scan that same day, and nothing came up. SO I did what it said, and tried to run it in safe mode. Same problem. So I tried again, and tried again, and again, and again. Every time doing something different, trying to get it to come back up. And nothing worked!!!! I was so sad.
I called my dad, and he said to unplug it, and let it sit for a bit. So I did just that. And still, no dice. So I did everything that I could think of, and nothing. I called my uncle, couldn't get him on the phone. Called my dad again, and nothing.
So my brother got me in touch with a friend in Oregon whom is a computer genius. He heard the error, and knew EXACTLY what had happened. What happened is I CRASHED WINDOWS!!!
I crashed the OPERATING SYSTEM!!! The hard drive should be fine, but the operating system is scrapped. I have to get the recovery disk from my father to get it re-installed, and PRAY that everything is still on my computer. If anything else, I won't wipe the drive. I will take it out, and send it to my brother's friend to get everything off of it.
And it turns out, it wasn't my fault. It was something that can take 6 months or more to happen, and I got it from my family about 3 months ago. So that's not my fault! Laughs. But it is still something that happened to me, and still I don't have the portable hard drive that I need to back up all my files. My music is mostly off of it, but my pictures, that's what I want more than anything. And my videos. That would be nice to have on there too. Gosh, I just have the best of luck don't I?
SO this is my weekend. Besides being an EMOTIONAL WREAK and crying A LOT, having my computer die, and work not being as busy as I would like, it has been pretty uneventful!
I am typing this on my sister's computer, and so VERY grateful that she is letting me use it.
And my best friend from Utah is coming to visit me, I am so very excited! 1 week and 3 days until she is here!!! YAY!!!

Updates
`Sorry, I know it has been a while. So here is what I have been up to lately:
1) Work has been crazy! So many people want me to come in, so I have been living there lately. Fun huh?
2) I have another cold, I just got over one and it seems to have come back or another one piggy backed on the first one. Joy of Joys.
3) I have started digital designs for digital scrapbookers. I have a million and a half ideas for kits, the problem is getting them on the computer to look like what I have in my head. Sigh.
4) I have been trying to help my sister in the mornings. That means I get up at 7:30. I know, it's not that early to most people but to me it is!
5) I have been going to church, and had a breakthrough today. I was more myself, laughing and happy than I have been in a while. It felt really good. I think I shocked a LOT of people as to how open I was about my opinions, but they have to get to know me sooner or later. I just wasn't afraid to speak up when I wanted to.
6) I had participated in a health fair, and that was an experience. Free Massage Samples... Hmm... Let's just say I don't want to be doing that again anytime soon.
7) I did my laundry, finally. Now I need to put it away. I am always really bad at that part. I need to get better at it.
8) I am moving on with boys, and I am noticing the cute ones in my ward. I don't see the point in holding on when someone isn't interested in the fact you haven't tried to contact them in over a month. So... On to someone more deserving. And I will tell you, one boy in my ward is... OH MAN!! So cute! :D
That's about all for now. I am working on getting a scrapbook kit up that I designed, called Tre's Chic! So look for that in the next few days on Sunshiny Daze Designs.
