Best subject I could come up with. ;)

Basically, my computer broke. The power supply failed. (it failed dramatically too.) So I am essentially with out a computer until the new one arrives, which will be at least Wednesday . :P That means no NaNo, no talking to ya'll, no email, nothin'. :P

So, till then, Farewell!

*sniffles* We'll miss you! (And rejoice when you return!) *hugs* It will be nice to have a new computer, I'll bet. Did you get all your information off of it?

Why didn't Melody tell me?? I guess it was your computer's power supply that made the burning plastic smell... I'll miss you, here and elsewhere.

:'( That is so frustrating. After a full month of working sooooo hard on a novel, and then this happens. You'll be missed. Wednesday of next week, right?

Well, she will find a computer here and there to use. Sometimes I bet she'll borrow mine... ;)

Depends on what kind of updates you want. <grin> And sometimes, she can just plain use my computer...when I'm not needing it for something. :)

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Um, so, the package arrived right on time. The power supply works perfectly.

I still don't have a computer.

Because, it seems that the power supply, malfunctioning, fried the motherboard. And the motherboard and the other things we'd have to buy to fix the computer would add up to a good bit over a 100 dollars. That's money we're not going to put into an old computer as of the moment. So, Dad set up his laptop for me and my brother to use. It's slow, but it works. :)

Therefore, I am back. But not back. At the same time. :D

I'm glad you're partially here at least! Welcome back, and we've missed you!
