The dreaded 'black screen'!

Finally happened. The laptop was sitting here, behaving well, and then it's world went black! :( The computer was still running--but there was nothing to see! The screen is dead. And I've only been using this laptop every day for 4 years, since I bought it refurbed on eBay! LOL! The timing stinks, of course. The money tree hasn't begun blooming yet...





When it does, I either buy another laptop on ebay, or struggle along with this ancient piece of technology that I dug out of the closet, or buy a stand-alone monitor, or buy a $75 used screen and put it in.... *sigh* What I need is for Jerry and Marie to live next door so he can scrounge me some parts and make me a computer.... :D





Meanwhile, it's a blustery, 53 degree day here in IL. Tonite's low is supposed to drop to the teens. It rained all nite and should snow some tonite.... It's the Midwestern Winter Rollercoaster!





I finished the baby quilt! Started it 2 years ago, when my niece and hubby started their adoption process, but didn't want to jinx things by actually finishing it (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). The baby is here at last and there's a shower next week--and I'm ready! :)

Still doing the job-hunt thing. It'd be simpler if his resume and all the contacts weren't tucked away in the screenless laptop...but we'll manage! :)

Enjoy your Sunday!
