I guess I should be grateful

That Ky's laptop lasted this long. Longtime flisters know that I borrow it whenever I go on vaca, and it always has a crisis of some kind wherein I think it's broken forever and ever. This is one of those times.

I accidently apilled a seriously tiny amount of water on it, and then it was blue screen error galore. Something about memory parity errors? + loud computer beeping. Then I tried restarting and it came up with a new one which told me to restart. So I did. Then it was a DOS grey screen asking for a password. Tried putting in Ky's, but it just made it beep really loudly. So I tried restarting again. It'll go through the first 3 seconds of starting; begins to spin the fan, etc, but then turns itself off immediately before anything shows on screen.

Any ideas?

Yesterday, we did IKEA. I spent $96 and bought the rest of the black-rod-kitchen line thing for my new giant kitchen. yay! Then Carrie and I made dinner for the family: breaded fried chicken, scalloped potatoes (Carrie, from scratch) and a blackberry cobbler. Mmmm. We also had to have used every single cooking/baking dish/pan they had. Seriously, the entire counter was filled. I think that's the most impressive mess I've ever seen, and I grew up with 3 brothers.

Today was a lazy day. I slept until noonish (Carrie beat me by about 15 minutes), came out and spent the day on the couch with the cat sleeping on my arm. We went to her sister's and I made dinner while they built an Ikea shelf, but otherwise, I did absolutely nothing but cuddle with the cat. Yay!

Tomorrow: Seattle. Anna is joining us. I suggested we tell her 11 so she'll come around 1. *whistles*
