How was your weekend? Mine was AWFUL! It all stemmed from 1 event. Well, 2 actually. While trying to edit the Color With Me video, i was desperately running out of space on my computer. I only realizedthe space was an issue after about 5 hours of frustration editting. SO there was problem 1. So i moved every extra file i had over to my backup hard drive until we got the space issue resolved. I never delete any programs or files on my computer that i KNOW i didnt put there myself. So all of my pictures (like every single one since Jack was born 3.5 years ago!) was moved over, every music file, every single digi stamp file, every PMS file, every video, etc. Space issue for editting fixed. Then my hubby helped get rid of the files i didnt need on my computer (turned out i had a backup of all my programs on my computer, probably from the info transfer when i got this computer) so that made almost 10 GB of space. Thats a LOT of space. Phew. So now i got to move all my beloved pictures and other things back. But uh oh... wait a minute... the back up drive is UNREADABLE?!?!? It has decided to corrupt itself and i cant get to anything inside of it! Now there are things that are frustrating as all get out to lose, those digi stamps that i bought that there is no way i'll even remember them all to go back to the order page, those music files, the package inserts for the stamps, thats all crazy annoying. But what kills me are all those family memories... just POOF! I have some pictures printed, but not many. I have some uploaded to places like facebook, myspace, but just a handful. There are thousands of pictures. There is probably a hundred videos, baby's first steps first words, first tastes of food, just poof. gone. It makes me want to vomit. And my whole weekend has just been a wreck because of it. Yes there are data recovery specialists. I've spoken with one. The cost starts at $700 and tops at $2700. Of course i do have the option of having them recover jpg files only and it will top off at $950, but that means all those videos are gone. I'm telling you, it just makes me sick.
SO, first i'm sending the hard drive off to my dad who is pretty good with these sorts of things. I'm praying he's able to resolve the issue when he takes it apart. Until then, i just pray that is all works out. :(
Ok, here's a quick card because I know most of you dont care about personal things on blogs, but i had to let that out.
This card uses a
Shirley's 2 Girls stamp. Copic Colors used on the pooch are E30, E33, E35.
Sorry for the shortness in the description, it's about all the energy i have.
Hope everyone else is having a better monday than me!
