I hear Mac's are less temperamental.

I promised myself I wasn’t going to do this.

This post was supposed to be happy! A joy to read! A positive pick-you-up-and-slap-you-on-the-ass account of my past weekend at the beach. I had pictures to share, stories to tell, and today I give you NONE of it. All because my alarm clock did not go off this morning.

And without it, I woke up too late to beat the computer into uploading my pictures.

I would write off this morning as a fluke, and try again later tonight, were it not that I’m now entirely convinced that my computer is out to wreck my life. That she’s begun recruiting other appliances to join her rank of rogue electronics who are all hell bent on making my life as miserable as possible. And I have evidence to prove it.

In the past few months the following appliances have turned on me:

1) The dishwasher, who technically quit working around Christmastime, but has been steadfast in its commitment to refusing any treatment. We’ve yet to purchase a new one.
2) The a/c in my nine-year-old car, who decided last month, that blowing COLD air was now optional.
3) My blow-dryer, who coughed and sputtered its way through it’s last performance a week ago.
4) And now my alarm clock, who apparently does not believe I deserve a shower or time to apply mascara before rushing off to work.

And I’m positive that the force behind all this treachery is the bulky, black, dust-ridden, agent of evil that sits atop my parent’s desk. It’s drafted a few other neglected electronics.

And now it’s my turn.

(Okay, seriously? I'm going to try to upload those photos again later tonight. But I'm not kidding about my shitty electronic and appliances luck latley.)
