disaster(s) and total shock

#1 My computer has a serious virus- right now a "critical system warning" just popped up- apparently I have the dreaded Trojan virus, and who knows... right now I could be infected and my identity could be with another dozen people in America. My fingers are crossed this in fact doesn't happen, but in the meantime I've tried my hardest to avoid using the computer. Alas, there have been no updates as promised. Sorry!

#2 I still can't believe this. No joke, I was in total shock when I read this... CHECK IT OUT!!! I must have been hiding under a rock yesterday b/c I didn't even notice this until this morning!! I can't wait for this season (read the link and you'll know what I'm talking about)!!

#3 The potential renter for my condo fell through last night, at the 11th hour. I've only shed a few tears (surprisingly), but then again with all the hesitations surrounding this on his end, I'm really not all that surprised. You see, this guy wouldn't move in unless he could have DirectTV. Apparently the GB Packers games are THAT important to him. We didn't even get that far though, because yesterday he was served divorce papers (which we both knew was coming), but what we didn't know was that his soon to be ex-wife decided last minute that she didn't want their house, so now they are both stuck paying half the mortgage until it sells. He told his wife just last week he was moving into my condo, so according to my lawyer friends out there, this is just a strategic move on her lawyers part to ensure she doesn't have to pay the full mortgage and can instead split it with her almost ex-husband. Sneaky, and yet good lawyer move. Ugh, I hope I never have to deal with stuff like this! And as for the condo, yes I'm sad, but hopefully this means I can get someone in there asap! Back to craigslist I go! :)

#4 Right now I have a plumber (minus the plumber's crack, thank God) in my basement fixing a leaky pipe. All our belongings in storage were misty and wet, and after digging around we discovered a baby pin hole in the main water pipe. Needless to say, my 1940's era home still has lead pipes (who knew?!) and it's an intense process to fix them b/c they have to be careful and not allow any of the lead into the water system... because we drink it! On top of the financial restraints caused by #3 above, this is not looking good. Seriously, can I catch a break?!

#5 Going to Mizzou this weekend! It's my friend Jen's husbands 30th bday, and she's throwing a surprise party! He's gonna be so surprised, and then it can begin the crazy drunken weekend of tailgating! I can't wait! :)

Everyone have a great week, hopefully we'll get this computer stuff figured out asap!
