I named her Lola, for she is a showgirl…

So – miss me? What, ya didn’t even know I was gone? Harumph! See – I got up yesterday morning, and hit the little button on the computer that makes it turn on? And it went “……….um….no.” There was no beep that said it had done the POST and there was no nothing afterwards. Insert. Panic. HERE.

So – since this CLEARLY was not anything I could nurse along until it got better, I did not get my naptime yesterday – instead, I got my car started and took my computer to see the Computer God. On the way there, I figured out what happened – I had sat in a new computer chair on saturday, and lusted after it. And alas, my baby felt slighted, and also realized that “oh! mom has money!” and thus decided “I must go see B! I LOVE B!” even though seeing B and J, the computer gods, always costs me money. Sigh.

So anyway – Said computer gods checked into it, and found my processor had gone BOOM! (or possibly more of a ‘fiiiizzzzt’ – either way, it no longer worked.) and then! then they found out that no one MAKES that processor anymore. So Computer God B took the processor out of HIS machine and gave it to me. AWwwwwww, no WONDER my baybee loves B! And lo! it all worked! And as the COmputer gods B and J had been bitching that my case was TOO SMALL for all the stuff I had crammed inside, well. I finally broke down and got my baybee a shiney new set of clothing.

And I have named her at last – her name is Lola. For she is a Showgirl.
