What have I done?????

I am in deep frustration right now for two reasons.
ONE:

Last night I (innocently)
got on the computer to download a few photos from 
Saturdays family bonfire on the beach.
I plugged my brand new sparkly Christmas Iphone into 
my Mac.
I have been LOVING my new 4S Iphone.
I am in Love with Siri....
even though she tells me that is impossible.
I love the look I set up with my new home page picture.
It is a photo of the Fulton's back yard....
a beautiful picture of their pool area and the river behind it.
I aspire to a view like that someday....
I like the other picture I had for my other page that shows my 
apps.  It was also a water scene.
My new phone was fast.
It did my bidding.

I say it was fast.
It did my bidding....rather than does....
because somehow,
in my stupidity,
I accidentally RESTORED my new phone to my 
Old....hated 3G everything.
I DUMBED DOWN my phone.
To include my old welcome page photos, etc.

I can't stand the sight of it.

It makes me physically ill.

K is Totally ticked.
Well, he is not the only one.
We worked like crazy last night trying to get back what I lost.
no.
I still have my old phone in my new case.

How is this even possible?!!!
Isn't a smart company like Apple smart enough,
to save their customers from themselves?
Why would this even be an option?
Someone is inadvertently going to take it and be insanely furious!
Help me not do stuff like this!
Take away the danger.
YOU GUYS @ APPLE are the dumb ones!
and you're mean.


For Christmas K bought me IMac computer classes at our local
Apple Store.
I am excited.
I have a list of questions and ideas I want them to teach me 
how to do on my computer.
This is almost like marriage counseling.....
I am forever getting stumped on things.
Kev please help me make this four to a page invitation....
Kev please help me figure out how to open.....
Kev PLEASE!!!
HELP ME!!!
He is not a bit familiar with Mac computers.
He will work with me for decades.....
but we usually end up where we started.
I leave my idea in a heap,
choose a different strategy....
like cut and paste.
and then we both move on and never speak 
of it again.

So I am grateful to him for my thoughtful gift of knowledge.
Knowledge is Power.

Hadn't really planned on taking up my first hour class,
tomorrow, 
on the hope and dream of getting my 
new phone back to the way it was.
Will it ever really be back to the way it was?????

..........................

TWO:

For the last few nights I have heard movement up in our ceiling.
A LOT of action.
I have not woken K up on purpose.
I was being courteous.
Patient.
Respectful of his sleep because he needed to get up for work.

Today was the morning I decided would be the best choice 
to invite him to partake of the sounds,
since it is a holiday,
MLKD.
At 6:48 a.m. (waited as long as was humanly possible)
I made my move.

Kev.....
hey Kev....
.....hey hon,
do you want to hear this noise?
Can you hear all that scratching?
Do you hear that scurrying?
What do you think that is?
Do you think you and the boys can get up there today 
and take care of that?
before you head out of town?

What?
Go back to sleep!

No.....I can't...... listen.....

It is all in your head.

Excuse me?

Anyway....
in the end, he heard it.
The ripping, tearing, shredding, running, scampering, chewing....
does not seem to bother him.

It is the beginning of the end (of this house) for me though.
We have had a good long stretch of rodent free living.
(except for cockroaches)
But if this is how it is going to be......
oh boy.

Kev shot down my plan of he and the boys getting up there.
He said there is no way to get to that spot.....
(apparently not if you're a rodent) 
It is blocked off.
FAN
TAS
TIC.

Please leave me with a new pair of ear plugs.
I will just await the day for when the thing burrows through
and drops on my face in our bed.
I will just relax with the earplugs until that day.
..........

I wish things were back to when I had my 
new phone.

Oh, I'm so sorry about your phone. Way out of my league as far as any help to you, but sure wish I could. And the rats/racoons/squirrels in your attic? Best to call a specialist and get it over with! If Kev won't do it, and I can't blame him, call someone who would love to help you, for some $ of course!! Good luck!

Oh man - how frustrating. I hope they can help you restore your new settings. It seems wierd they would have your old settings saved, but not the new ones. I agree with C and K above...get a specialist to get rid of the scratching; a little money now will save more money later.

I like the countdown.
seems official. but my first thought is definetly send the boys up. it just screams excitement and good blogging.

i for one cannot wait for you to write a book. you've definetly got what it takes girl.
