I’m sitting in a hotel room in North Carolina right now at the She Speaks Conference and I’ve just witnessed a miracle.
About two months ago, P and I sat on the couch one night and downloaded a bunch of our CD’s to iTunes (is that even the right terminology? I have no idea.)
All of a sudden, tragedy struck.
One of the CD’s got stuck in the drive of my beloved MacBook.
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
How am I supposed to make any more super awesome mix CD’s if I have no access to my CD drive?
So for the last two months my MacBook has been afflicted. It has been slow to perform even the most basic of functions, much like me after a day of trying to police Caroline’s wardrobe selections.
And sure, I kept thinking that I needed to take it to the Apple Store for some sort of tech intervention. However, the Apple Store is far away from my house and I could almost just buy a new computer as opposed to spending the gas money to drive all the way out there.
This morning Sophie offered to see if she could get the CD out of my disc drive.
And lo, Boomama laid hands on my computer and it was healed.
I may have shouted, “MY MAC HAS BEEN REDEEMED!”
It was a very complicated process that involved turning on the computer while holding down the eject button.
Which just confirms that I really have no business owning a computer.
