My Christmas to Me!!
11
Tue, 12-22-2009 - 3:13pm

Today I went to my local Meijer store to pick up a couple of "last minute" gifts.  The store was offering discount (as Meijer Bucks) on items priced over certain amounts.  Plus I had a 10% off card and a certificate for another $6.50 off.  So.....I bought me a present!  It is an external hard drive that has 380+ G of space!!  I got it for just a bit more than half off!!!!


I have all of my pictures stored on it now and will move a bunch more of my stuff to it soon.  Now,  no worries if I should have a computer crash...nothing will ever be lost!  Unless the external drive dies for some reason of course!!!!  I have always backed up my files regularly to disc but I am always scared of a hard drive crash....BTDT a time or two!


I told my DS how much space it has and he says that we'll be doing some rearranging of things the next time he comes out to see if we can make my XP run faster now!


So Merry Christmas to me - early!!!!


I'll be going out to Syl's Christmas for Christmas and to my DS's "new" home for Christmas Day.  I'll cook and take along to both homes but I don't have to fix a whole meal and clean up afterwards either time!  Hooray!


Today at my TOPS meeting my gang gifted me with a "thanks" for being a "good leader" for the past year.  Such a nice surprise!


I are truly a blessed person!

I didn't realize you were the Leader of your TOPS group, Katie.
It's always nice to be appreciated, isn't it?!
Nice surprise!!


You KNOW how I love a bargain.
Loved hearing how you applied and got all your discounts on your purchase - that makes it ALL THE SWEETER!!

I so rarely ever benefit from discounts or sales that when I do like I did today I am tickled pink!!!!


Hearing that the group thinks I've done right by them makes me feel great, Deb!!

Good for you Katie...nice gift and great deal! I bought myself an external hard drive at the beginning of the year and downloaded a ton of stuff to it. The big problem was...I had a virus & a worm and all kinds of stuff when I did it and now it's all on my external hard drive. Any ideas what to do now? I'm afraid to reconnect it to my computer as it will reinfect me. Grrrrrrrrr

Blue,
When I got the new "Dell" couple of years ago , my hard drive crashed and only had it for a week. We ordered a new one and hubby put it in . That is his job networking so I have my own "Geek " in the house Haa.....

I went out today to go to William Sonama to pick up those big Turkey Forks to life the turkey out of the pan . Oh, the cars on the road where was everyone going today rushing here and there and not a smile on anyones face . When I was a kid use to see people smile more at Christmas , not much anymore .

Kt that was such a lucky find. Then get it almost half price. I'm never that clever with coupons and all. I either forget them or let them run out of date..sigh. I'm like the others, some of the best gifts are the ones I give myself.

Give me a few days and I'll do some digging to see if I can find an answer for you, Blu.

OK...I'm just afraid that if I connect it to my computer it will reinfect right away.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
