The bad news - I burned up my video card.
The Good News!? - it was ONLY the video card and not the entire computer! Whew! All files are intact and no photos were lost in the process!
Just before I took it in, it would randomly shutdown for no apparent reason. Every time I would turn it on, it would shut down a little faster until it would only stay on for 1-2 minutes at a time! I frantically plugged in my external hard-drive and started backing up photos. Turns out, I hadn't backed up anything since before CHRISTMAS! YIKES!!! That's a lot of photos that I would have lost!
If you are reading this now and you save photos - or any other keepsake type items - to your computer, stop right now and back up stuff!!! I was SO lucky!
There will be posts coming the rest of this week and this coming weekend about my photography endeavors over the last few weeks, but here's a teaser.
Have a great Wednesday! I'm still going to be busy on Thursday, but hopefully back to some PHOTOS on Friday! :)

| My first attempt at taking senior pictures of my son. Also the only picture in the group that has been edited. Since I haven't had my computer, I used Picnik.com to edit the shot. |
