Heather's Birthday!

Well, not today; it was April 3rd. Alas and alack, I was late in getting the blog out. There's an interesting story about that, though, and a lot of history surrounding it. Let me tell you about it...

So, a few years ago, on my somethingth (I think 16th or 17th birthday - not sure) birthday, Mom and Dad gave me a computer. It was one that they had bought a while ago, and to me it was precious, because I could write whenever I wanted, without having to wait for other people to finish whatever they were doing on the kid's computer we all shared.

It was all set up, and perfect.

A few months later, it freezes and I hear this "click, click" coming from inside the computer. Well, okay. Reset. No good. Still doing it.

I call my extremely brilliant brother Daniel over. "Can you fix it?" Sure enough, he fixes it.
For a little while.

It has done this clicking thing every few months for about three years, now. What causes it?

I asked my Dad that very question. His answer? "It used to be in our closet, and it fell out of the top shelf and hit the floor."

Ouch. I guess it has a right to act up now and again.

Anyway, there's the story. So, because of the clicking and freezing, and because Daniel was working and so unable to get to my poor little computer right away, I missed posting on Heather's birthday. :(

But, Happy Birthday wishes and plenty of love and hugs none-the-less, Heather! :D
