note to self

one day last week i was not very good at multi-tasking. i was:

-listening to music on my computer

-sewing a pillow

-drinking hot tea

-drinking water(i don't know why i had two different things to drink...i guess i am part camel)

well, one thing led to another and this is what i remember. i finished sewing this pillow, which knocked the hot tea all over the floor. no big deal, just kind of messy. i kid you not, in the process of cleaning up the hot tea i knocked over water....INTO MY COMPUTER!

i turned the computer upside down to get the water out of it and a few seconds later...it died.

i tried to remain calm, cool, and collected. my dad suggested i put rice around it to soak up the water. the problem with that is i didn't have the rice BUT my roommate did!

we took the battery out and placed rice on a cookie sheet and my computer on top of that then put a little rice on the key board to soak up the water. and presto! 24 hours later, i had a working computer!

occasionally there are pieces of rice that fall out of my laptop and they are friendly little reminders to stay clear of water with my laptop.
