Lemme just say to you productive bloggers out there: Where do you get the energy? With all the blogging, amazing projects, holiday madness, and having a real life n all...seriously, how do you people sleep?
Still having hinky computer issues, and I'm lazy so check out the post about it on the official jewelry blog:http://bluedartdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-end-in-sight.html
Hoping to be back in business within a couple of weeks, woohoo! Happy New Year folks!

Computer issues (AGAIN!)
(For those of you who follow both my blogs, I apologize for the double post in your streams!)
A quick note (using an old rickety laptop with a usb keyboard since the laptop is missing half its keys) to mention computer issues....again. My laptop crashed for no apparent reason, and R's laptop (same model as mine) is also broken-the power pin ripped out when he unplugged it. Awesome. Mine had that problem on three separate occasions. We are not happy campers, and plan on raising a fuss to have the laptops returned and our money refunded. We bought the laptops in April of this year, and this will be the 4th time mine is going in for "repair." It wouldn't be so bad if the customer service rep didn't try to tell us it's our fault every time. "Oh, your power pin snapped off? You'll be charged for that!"
Apparently, one is never ever ever supposed to unplug a latptop. Ever.
Crankypants.
If R's desktop (from the same company as the laptops) hadn't crashed a few months back, this would be slightly less of a crummy situation. He's only had the desktop for a couple of years, and it's DOA. Guess who we're never buying computers from again? These guys! Ranty blog regarding how crappy this company is, coming soon! When I have a better functioning computer to use, that is....
If only MAC's weren't so expensive, and could run our sizeable collection of games & software without needing to shell out even more $ for software compatibility programs.
Fortunately, I have a smart phone and can at least access email (though, sadly, not Etsy at the moment) so I can keep up with any sales and mail out packages quickly. Just no fancy pants printed invoices at the moment. Grumble!
