What, ya didn&#8217;t even know I was gone? Harumph! See &#8211; I got up yesterday morning, and hit the little button on the computer that makes it turn on? And it went &#8220;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.um&#8230;.no.&#8221; There was no beep that said it had done the POST and there was no nothing afterwards. Insert. Panic. HERE.<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; since this CLEARLY was not anything I could nurse along until it got better, I did not get my naptime yesterday &#8211; instead, I got my car started and took my computer to see the Computer God. On the way there, I figured out what happened &#8211; I had sat in a new computer chair on saturday, and lusted after it. And alas, my baby felt slighted, and also realized that &#8220;oh! mom has money!&#8221; and thus decided &#8220;I must go see B! I LOVE B!&#8221; even though seeing B and J, the computer gods, always costs me money. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway &#8211; Said computer gods checked into it, and found my processor had gone BOOM! (or possibly more of a &#8216;fiiiizzzzt&#8217; &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p>And I have named her at last &#8211; her name is Lola. For she is a Showgirl.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a class=\"tt-flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eclat\/93684933\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Lola\" class=\"tt-flickr\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/28\/93684933_0c3008b92a_m.jpg\" \/><\/a><a class=\"tt-flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eclat\/93684811\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Lola\" class=\"tt-flickr\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/21\/93684811_3688ab2358_m.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a class=\"tt-flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eclat\/93684751\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"134\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Lola\" class=\"tt-flickr\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/19\/93684751_ace7ae8068_m.jpg\" \/><\/a><a class=\"tt-flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eclat\/93693951\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"199\" alt=\"Lola\" class=\"tt-flickr\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/38\/93693951_4d4b5c682e_m.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">THE COLORS! omg!
