The After Picture

I've just begun my weight loss tracking blog. Please stop by The After Picture and give it a read. I know the first post is long, but the following posts probably won't be as long winded. Thanks!

Why Coke and Laptops Don't Mix.

My lovely Dell Inspiron laptop finally went to laptop heaven just shortly after Christmas. It's really amazing that it lasted so long, considering some of the abuse it's taken. I spilled on it twice (the second of which was the final blow), and I slammed the top down too hard once, resulting in some malfunctions, and later on, just before the final Coke-tastrophe, the screen completely blew, requiring the use of an external monitor. I think that may have been related to the top-slamming incident.

Well, now we have a brand new desktop, complete with a 22-inch monitor. I'm preparing to study medical transcription online, so I wanted to have a good computer system to work with. I'll also be using it to work from home once I finish the training program.

So, I'm back online, and I'm hoping to start a couple new special interest blogs - one for weight loss, once I start my weight loss journey, and one that will follow a very new road for our family - Jett's upcoming speech therapy and upcoming occupational therapy evalution. The path of speech delays, sensory processing disorders, evaluations, and organizations is becoming a very scary one for us, and I think I could use a specific outlet for some of my fears and concerns. I'll post here when I get those blogs rolling.
