{screaming}

This is me right this very second. Ok. So it's not REALLY me (this chick still looks pretty when she screams and I'm pretty sure there was nothing pretty about my version a few seconds ago), but had my camera been set up directly across from me about 2 minutes ago and managed to take a picture of me all by itself, THIS is what you WOULD have seen.....literally...hands to the head and all.  I am seriously not even kidding. I started blogging about 2 hours ago..and hadn't stopped typing until 2 minutes ago when INTERNET EXPLORER decided to shut down on me. And if you could see how fast I type, you would know how much I had typed in that 2 hours. :-) The ONE TIME that I wasn't backing up my entry the whole time...just in case this were to happen...and within 2 seconds, despite my shouting, "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" at the monitor, it was GONE. I put off this particular entry UNTIL today (part of Memory Monday, which we now no longer have...I apologize for that), simply because I knew it would be a more lengthy one (that shouldn't shock you..they are all pretty lengthy. LOL!)....and I was very literally on the VERY LAST PARAGRAPH when my internet died out! I seriously could just throw something. I ALMOST threw my laptop at the wall. Ok...so not really, but maybe something that wasn't worth so much...like a shoe or a banana or something. LOL! I am so completely exhausted and tired from blogging and now so angry about having to do it all over again, that i just have to go to bed before I continue screaming and wake my kiddies. *sigh* Dang. I could really use a Dunford Donut.

So maybe today's Memory Monday should be this....WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SCREAMED LIKE THIS? What was it that made you this angry? Yeah..that's a good one! Go for it! And I am off to bed! ;-)

(The irony of all of this, is that our Family Home Evening lesson tonight was on how to deal with anger. LOL! So according to the cute story that I read to my kiddies, right now, I should either walk away, climb a tree, take deep breaths, run, ride my bike or talk to someone. LOL! Guess I should take my own advice, huh?! I'm still thinkin' that a donut might make everything better though....at least until I have to sit down and type everything all over again. And if not, it would at least muffle the screaming for a minute. LOL!)

Ohhhh, I've had that happen. I don't blame you for wanting to throw your laptop at the wall.

Heather, I have honestly given up on writing my blog entries actually IN typepad. I just write them in my word processer (I'm so archaic, I still use WordPerfect!), edit and spell check there, then copy and paste into typepad. I only save it until I've posted it, and then I just delete the file. But, I hear you loud & clear: that is SOOOO frustrating!!!

Oh Babo, that is absolutely awful!! I like to think sometimes that my computer or other stubborn inanimate objects have feelings so that when they shut down and I get REALLY mad, I can pretend they feel bad and that I showed THEM what's what!!

[Kerry]

That is the PITS! I am sorry! Does Typepad not automatically save your posts? I know blogger does. Seriously, I am really sorry.You deserve a donut in a big way!

So sorry Heather. I use Windows Live Writer when I write my blog then it just uploads it from there pictures and all. I love it.

Oh how horrible! I didn't know there was such a thing. I guess I should be grateful that blogger automatically saves mine. I think I would have out screamed you if that happened to be me! : S

I know. Not funny. Man do I feel your pain.

i was having a moment similar to that today--unfortunately it got directed at my children too--not one of my better moments. personally i'm blaming pms.
but for your blogging woes--i used windows live writer--it will post directly to my wordpress blog. it should work w/typepad too.
