Help! My Computer is Rebelling!

Well right now I am using an iMac with 2/3 of a screen.  Here is the story...
Our iMac is a 2005.  This model was made in Korea.  This batch has a fault in the LCD screen.  It gets dead pixel lines vertically on the screen in a variety of colors.  Then you get blocks of white or/and black.  So instead of buying these with our tax refund:
MacBook Pro 2011

{I still covet one of these in the worst way! So if anyone wants to give me one that would be awesome!}
We just have set up an external screen.  But the cables to do so are on order.  I really love Macs but I wish is was easier to do thing with non-Mac hardware!  Real Pain in the butt!



What's your favorite tech toy or tool?

My 4's




4 shows I watch:

1. Grey's
2. Private Practice
3. Bones
4. Victorian Farm


4 things I’m passionate about:
1. Creating. It doesn't really matter what the medium is.
2. Chocolate, Cheese, and Bread. The three evils. But don't get me wrong...they have to be great. I don't like the crappy variety of any of them.
3. Learning
4. My Family

4 phrases I say a lot:
1. 'I think my head is going to explode!"
2. to myself '1...2...3...4...5...6..7...8...9...10...ok what do you want'
3. 'Do you need grumpy mommy to come out?'
4. 'You are not hungry Ezra!'


4 things I have learned (YET STILL DO) from the past:
1.That if you go to bed with a dirty kitchen your next day is going to be playing catch up. All day long.
2. If I indulge my Chocolate problem I will always regret doing it the next day. Guilt sucks.
3. Having a 'day off' makes the next day the worst day of the week. It's just not worth the day off.
4. A Sale doesn't mean that you aren't spending the money. It just means you are spending less...and did you really need that?


4 places I’d like to go:
1. Italy
2.Greece
3. New York
4. North Carolina again. this time with more money and time and not 30 weeks pregnant!

4 things I did yesterday:
1. Laundry
2. Dishes
3. Bathed the kidlets
4. Took a shower, did the hair and makeup...pretty damn proud of that one!

4 things I look forward to:
1. Totally redoing the house. Top. To. Bottom.
2. Seeing the people my kids turn into.
3. becoming self-sufficient
4. getting a garden...finally. I have not had a garden as a married person yet!


4 things I love about winter:
1. I like the snow on a sunny day.
2. Making touques
3. Hot chocolate, really good hot chocolate. In our house there is the normal hot chocolate and then there is mommy's.
4. Sweaters.

4 things on my wish list:
1.  a cow
2. to have all red appliances.  I really do mean All
3.  A heated dog building...so the 9 dogs in my house can get out.
4. hardwood flooring
