new 'puter

My computer got a virus. A bad one. A message kept coming up that stated that someone was trying to get into my computer, did we want to block it-of course-we clicked yes several times.

Only then did I discover that each time we clicked yes, porn icons would appear on my desktop. How lovely. I'd delete and they'd reappear.

The virus grew and exploded. We couldn't download off anything that may fix it. We tried using the internet to fix it and it wouldn't let us go anywhere that would fix it. I grabbed as much off of it that I could-some pictures and homeschooling stuff. I have no idea if the thumb drive is now affected or not. I guess I'll find that out later.

I'm now typing on my brand new laptop. I opted for a laptop instead of my tower because its easier for me to move around and do school planning or homework. I can take it on the porch to watch the kids play outside.

I also bought an external hard drive to keep all my files on. Hopefully, this will help me out and I won't lose anything again. We'll see.

We have a busy week as my inlaws leave Tuesday, Tacty leaves back to Japan on Thursday, and my dad arrives on Saturday. We're heading to Cle Elum this weekend to see where they filmed Northern Exposure. I can't wait! Any Northern Exposure junkies out there?

Have a great week everyone!
