No Laptop = No Blogging

It's been awhile thanks to the blue screen of death on my lap top. Yes I have a desk top computer too but I don't like using it. Why? Because my well meaning son has it so secured that I can't do anything on it. Seriously, every time I get on it, I get the message that I am headed to an unsecured website. Now I agree being on facebook is not a the best thing for any computer but my bank's? Every time I tried to check my accounts, I would get a warning message that I would have to click once, twice, three times to get to the page THEN tell it to show all content.
I have to do this with every page I would go on........
Which leads me back to the lap top. It crashed thanks to what we think was a virus. But not to worry, I bought the extended warranty six months ago from a national chain store known for it's geek squad.  Funny story about this: I took the lap top in, told the geek about the blue screen of death, and all he wanted to do was sell me a program that costed more than the lap top. Of course I showed him my paperwork that showed I had paid for that extended warranty. Geekman told me that it didn't covered my problem. For the first time in my life I was speechless but luckily I found my voice and asked him what it did cover. He told me only damages. I informed him that I was willing to take the laptop outside, smash it in the parking lot and bring it back in. My son stepped in, started talking geek, my laptop was sent out, and now it has a new hard drive and running like new.
I'm glad to have the laptop back, I missed it so much. But during my three weeks of hell of no laptop, I discovered some interesting things about myself. Mainly, that I can get a lot done when I don't listen to the voices in my head that tells me I should be on the lap top. I also learned that I don't have to get up two hours before work to get ready since I spend an hour of that time on the computer. But I also learned that I don't like watching tv without a laptop, surfing the web, playing never ending games of solitaire, checking everyone's updates on facebook.
Ah yes facebook, it might have been the cause of all the problems but I just can't help myself. I do hope to be around to all of my favorite blogs and catch up, leaving a comment or two along the way.
 That's after I finish my updates on facebook............
