I'm feeling a little puke-ish

So I took Joel's computer to the repair store yesterday {remember, Max dropped it, the screen was blank} and the guy's like, "No problem-lah." {which is like saying, "Easy peasy, no worries} And I'm all like WHEW. I'm gonna get away with Joel never even KNOWING.

Then he goes on to say, "We can fix it. It should take about 2-3 weeks." {Insert stopped heart here}

My husband cannot live without his computer for 2-3 weeks! So you know what that means, right? He will be commandeering MY computer. {sob} We still have my old almost 4 year old Dell, which is missing keys, has to be propped up since the hinges on the monitor came off and sometimes mysteriously gets like possessed. But I've kept it so the boys can watch movies or play the computer.

Only today I go to load it up with some of my stuff, hoping I can utilize it while Joel is borrowing mine, only to find that as soon as I turn it on, it automatically shuts off. It's never done that before.

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.

So now I will have to face the wrath of Joel AND be without my computer for the rest of the month. I was *this* close to ordering a new computer and having this group from Montana that is here now bring it out with them, but I decided to wait until we go back to the States this summer. Clearly, I make bad decisions.

I need you guys to really miss me while I'm gone, okay? And I'll try not to be too productive while I'm offline or else he may never let me have my computer back.
 
Aw...I'm gonna miss you like crazy!!! :( I'll say a prayer for you that his wrath isn't too harsh! :) (((hugs))) Don't stay gone too long, k?!
 
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille.

I know it's not funny, but that absolutely cracked me up. The only lyrics I know to come after that are NOT good, lol (thank you Pete's Dueling Piano Bar). I just googled them, and they are definitely NOT part of the original Kenny Rogers song, LOL!

But, that totally blows Kellie :( Computers are just the worst sometimes.
 
Oh, no! I can't imagine having to be computerless for that long. I hope the repair is a lot faster than they estimated!
 
NO!!!!!!! Okay.....you just need to find some free places to play online. Even if you can't scrap *gasp*, you can come and play on the forum. Libraries are good about free internet! I am sure that there are some other ideas too I just can't think of them right now. Maybe Joel will give you some time every once in a while on the computer.

Seriously, you can't leave for almost a month!!!! Start shopping Craigs list for a cheap used computer to hold you over! Or better yet, maybe a friend or family member will have pity on you and let you borrow a computer! Okay......*stepping away from the computer*. I just need to learn to let go.

Like you said, don't be too productive while off line! That will ruin the return! ((HUGS))
 
dang big {{{HUGS}}}.....that is why we are not allowed to touch DH's computer!!! he would DIE or we would...so I feel your pain! and we will totoally miss you:hugs:
 
oh man! that's just devastating that you are having such bad luck.
I do hope that you can at least find ways to check in with us and let us know how you are doing.
 
ok - so men are simple...isn't there SOMETHING you can......uh..."do"....to get some computer time? :p

15 minutes and you should be back in business...

MWAHHH HA HA HA HA! :w00t:
 
Well, once he stops being furious {did I mention that I washed his Blackberry this week and broke it?}, he might let me use the computer at night. Fingers crossed. He gets home in a couple of hours, so we'll see if I survive. Thanks for saying you'll miss me. :)

BTW, Beckie, I unfortunately did not marry a man who is manipulated by, um, that. I might try it anyway, just for fun though...
 
That sucks Kellie!!! As for his blackberry, why was it in HIS pocket? Pockets are not your responsibility. My rule is if you don't want it washed, clean out your own damn pockets...
 
You really have ZERO idea how much I will miss you-I will tell the boys to not do anything STUPID-or exciting-while you are away-we will sit like bumps on logs because I can't risk the chance of not having you here to sound off of.
I love you Kel! I will miss you like forty seven ten fifty-I used Landen's quote there-it means I'll miss you A LOT!
 
This is SO not fun! Here's hoping he'll be in a good mood when he gets home so you can get a promise of computer time!
 
That sucks Kellie!!! As for his blackberry, why was it in HIS pocket? Pockets are not your responsibility. My rule is if you don't want it washed, clean out your own damn pockets...

Wasn't there an entire thread about this awhile back? Complete with a poll? I'm pretty sure I remember the overwhelming response being it was the wearer's responsibility, haha.

That really stinks Kellie! I have to say you are a much nicer wife than I am because there's no way I would totally give up my computer just because his broke. Share it, sure, but completely give up, no way. :p
 
Oh no!!! I can only imagine how hard it is going to be!! Last year when my laptop would take like 2 hours to boot up....I borrowed my mom's computer!! There was NO way I could live without a computer and wasn't going to go in the dungeon and scrap!! Well.....my parents ended up buying me a new computer a few days later b/c she was missing her computer too!!!!! LOL
