Wishes do come true....

No words

SO Frustrated.

Very Very Frustrated

The kids dropped my external hard drive.  It would not read.  The connections seemed bent, so I decided to wait it out and take it in after Christmas. Tried to catch up on blogging, but Blogger would only let me upload one picture at a time.  An upload I was doing to Flickr failed.    Then the Laptop died.   Took them both in.

Both are gone.

10 years of stored pictures.

Everything that is blogged is saved, maybe not at 100%, but saved.

Christmas and my last couple jobs are still on various cards.

Everything else??  GONE.

Pictures, Kevin's grad school essay, templates, actions, Pictures!!

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Data recovery is an option we will explore when we have house stuff settled.  The laptop is a maybe, the dropped hard drive??  Most likely toast.  Of course that is the one with the oldest pictures on it.  Stuff that has not been blogged, or uploaded to other places to send prints.  

KICKING MYSELF

NEVER in a million years would I have thought that they would both be gone.

I know I have some stuff on assorted disks in assorted places.  If you have one, could you copy it and send it to me? I'll gladly reimburse shipping. 

And if you know the name of a great data recovery place that would be awesome.

***As a reminder to everyone.. make a disk today.  Not everything, that seems too overwhelming.  Make a disk, A disk, one week, one month, a bunch of random favorites, something.***

New Years Eve!

I don't know what the kids were up to (other than eating goodies and staying up late with Grandma and Pops) but Kevin and I sure had fun!

Mary blogged all about it here.
