This pretty much sums up what I think of computers! We had another virus infect our home computer a couple of days ago. This one was brand new, and a good one! Technically it was adware or spyware. It gets into your computer and pops up warnings every time you try to get online that say that your personal info has been compromised. It won't let you go to any other websites except, surprisingly, the website where you can purchase the the product to get rid of the virus! Interesting. Somehow, that site works just fine!

Everyone needs a computer guy in their family, ours is Dale Sloyer. I called him up and he walked me through the troubleshooting process for an hour or so. He said that the company that is trying to sell me the anti-virus software is the one who infected our computer in the first place. Shouldn't that be illegal? In any case, it sure is frustrating.

Long story short, I ended up fixing the problem and killing all the "cooties" in my computer. Thanks Dale. I'm sure the first thing you want to do after fixing computers all day is to help fix my computer!

In other news, Amanda had her blood pressure checked again today, because it was high last time. Everything is back to normal and she keeps truckin' along. She's getting pretty uncomfortable as she continues to grow. Her belly now measures the same size as most full term singleton pregnancies, but she still has another 2 months to go!!! Let's pray that we can make it to full term!

Looks like the possibility of snow is still lingering out there. That would sure be nice!
