THE destroyer of all things electrical

So it's been a little over a month since I've been posting (AND pinning, oh the withdrawals are killin' me).  You can thank this little nugget of fun for that (see THE destroyer, left).  All things both expensive and electrical seem to be a magnet for him.  His first victim was my iPhone.  That bad boy is smashed to bits and pieces (SO glad I updated to the new 4S just weeks before).  He next set his sights on my laptop.  First it was just a little flashlight thrown into the screen.  That only did minor damage, denting a few spots here and there.  The following days are where the real damage came in.  The remote was the next airborne object, resulting in lovely cracks up and down, right  to left as well as eliminating a few choice keys from the keyboard (who needs "U" anyways?  It's only a vowel).  The only good news here is that he does in fact have the pitching arm of his father and we're about 90% sure he could be a lefty.  I was doing alright for a few days, until the little chicken nugget did a stealth move and yanked the screen backward from behind.  Esentially cracking everything in two  for a split second.  That's when the blue dye started creeping in (see Exhibit B, below).  It was downhill from there and resulted in total computer elimination over the next few weeks.

Exhibit B

As of today, I'm now using my husband's Dell computer circa 1999.  Not really, but it feels that way since there are zero programs on this bad boy since the only thing it's used for is to check Facebook and fantasy baseball stats.  Did I mention that it has to be plugged in at ALL times or it totally crashes and everything you've done gets erased?  Oh and that the plug is held together by one of my Goody hairbands so that the outlet thingy stays attached to the battery thingy.  We're super high tech around here right now, so bare with me a little bit.  Anyways, I promise for more posts ASAP as long as you promise to donate to my KATENEEDSANEWCOMPUTER fund ASAP as well.  Really, it's a win, win.  Happy Monday!
