Macintosh rocks, for realsies.

I hate looking dumb or sounding dumb but it seems that I sound dumb more and more often. It's like my children have sucked the brains out of my head and grilled it on some kabob stick for the mountain lions up here to consume.

BRAINS ARE GONE.

I hate when I sound dumb or if I spell something wrong but lately, almost every morning (and only in mornings before coffee so maybe I'm not dumb just caffeine deprived?), I say something so wrong, Geoff asks if Yoda is speaking.

Which is why i was kinda afraid to tell him that I'm pretty sure our house got hit by lighting.

Twice.

Also my husband is all serious smart-pants. Really. He has this computer job where he looks at stuff and comes up with answers and when I ask what he is doing he says, "looking for codes" which to me looks like he is staring at the back of a Highlights magazine looking for the pictures that don't belong but I don't see pictures or even words. I see jumbles of meaningless things that are all important and crap and he knows what they are, what they mean and what to do to make the world not explode.

So I didn't want to sound dumb and say lighting struck the house if that means that I sound dumb because maybe if lightning ACTUALLY hits your house, your house catches on fire or something but I DON'T KNOW because I've never had a house that got hit by lighting.

All I know is I was by myself on the couch when it seemed like the air just lit up. Almost like there was a bolt of lightning without the bolt but with light. Ummm, kinda like a strobe light went off for half a second.

And during that there was the sound of radio static in the air.

When I told Geoff that last part he asked, "Where? WHERE did you hear that?"

But there wasn't a "where", it was everywhere. it sounded like static took over the air.

There was thunder too but I never SAW any lighting.

And the internet went out.

I walked into Geoff's office when it happened again, the radio static, the strobe light thing throughout the air. I wanted to turn on his computer to see if anything went wrong. Did lighting REALLY hit our house? I used a pencil with a rubber eraser to actually press the power button because WHO KNOWS where lighting travels through to fry me up like the english muffin I left in the toaster too long last week.

His computer turned on but no internet.

When I told him what happened, he went to fix stuff to only realize that our wireless router was completely fried.

And lighting hitting our house might be the only explanation.

I'm not dumb.

I'm not Yoda.

And since he had reason to go into the Mac store to get the AirPort checked out, he also took in my MacBook that took a big crap several months ago after, I S-word you not, a LIGHTING STORM.

My macbook is about 2 years passed warranty.

We got a BRAND NEW AirPort.
I'm getting a BRAND NEW hard drive and casing.

Because they said, "customer satisfaction".

I love you Mac, I'll never EVER go PC again.

My macey-book gets to come home tomorrow. If it wasn't for the lightning, the poor thing would still be up in my closet sitting next to my Amy Winehouse wig, I'm so excited I could just PEE!

But I'll spare you the pee because like we tell our two year old, "Big boys and girls go in the POTTY."
