Burnt and Broken

BURNT
So, Sweetie and I went to the beach yesterday. I brought sunblock and failed to put it on (typical me). As you can see to the right, I'm a white girl...haha So we had a good time lying on the beach and looking for sea glass for a good 4 hours. I thought I wouldn't burn as easily since I had been working on a base tan. But sadly enough it was not not as substantial as I thought it may have been. I got pretty red. So did Sweetie, I feel really bad about that! :(

It feels nice to walk in the sand (or rocks when looking for sea glass). I feel as though it's good streching and strengthening for my hip. Toward the end, I was getting a little sore. But I woke up this morning just fine! AND I can FINALLY sleep how I used to. On my stomach, with my right knee bent to the side. BUT I've gotten used to sleeping the other way! lol so I'm sure I'll be whining again when I get my other hip done that I can't sleep how I want to again...lol

So then we left the dreaded beach and went to go see Tropic Thunder. He had seen it the night before and thought it was so funny that he wanted to take me to see it. I have to admit, it was really funny. So if you are looking for a good laugh I recommend Tropic Thunder or Pineapple Express (which we saw last week). We see a lot of movies. Wifey made the comment last night that watching movies is pretty much all we do. And it's pretty much all I CAN do at the moment. I want to try bowling soon, and no one will take me ice skating. They're too afraid for me...hehe

Broken
So the other night I went to turn on my computer and realized it wasn't turning on. It was plugged in and had been plugged in all day. All it does when you press the on button is flash on for a few seconds and then flash off. You don't hear the harddrive "thinking" or the fan turning on. It's awful! :( Luckily my Uncle M used to work on computers. So while Sweetie and I were getting charred yesterday, Uncle M took a look at my poor machine. He thinks it's some connector in the motherboard. Meaning, a new motherboard all together.

This is why I always need to buy the product replacement plans on my electronics. I always end up breaking them. The last 2 years, I've gone through 8 phones. Yes, EIGHT phones! Luckily, I had the insurance on my phones so I only had to pay 2 replacement fees. I suppose I'm a little too hard on my equipment. They should let me test things to see how they hold up...lol

So I decided so far, I'm not going to fix my computer. A new motherboard is around $150. I recently bought an external hard drive to put all of my music and pictures and files on and loaded it up a few weeks ago. I would be more inclined to fix my computer if I actually had stuff on it. For now, I will use one of my parents' computers. I would really like to wait and get a Mac! But for those of you who know me, know how impatient I am...
