I had a secret goal of posting to this site once a day for the whole month of August.  I was doing pretty well too. But I forgot to write something on Wednesday night and then last night my computer got a virus – fun right?  I trying to figure out how to fix it (without paying someone else to do it). When I turn on my laptop all I see is the wallpaper and curser – no icons, no start menu, no nothing.  The good news is that all of my files (photos, scrapbook pages and supplies, and documents) are still there and we should be able to, at the very least, save that information.  My preliminary internet research has found other people that have had the same problem, but none of their fixes are working for me – so I’ll just keep trying.

So anyway, that’s where things stand with us.  In much more exciting news than computer viruses, we closed on the sale of our house in Virginia today.  Dave got to meet the new owner and she told him that one of the main things that drew her to the house – the paint colors.  Ha!  Nice.  Anyway, I’m going to go do some more digging around and see if I can find a solution to this stupid virus.
