Technical Difficulties

July 25, 2010 by Jessica 7 Comments

Hi everyone ๐Ÿ™‚ I just wanted to share something I learned last weekend: get a surge protector for your phone lines. We came home from vacation last Saturday to find our computer, modem, and phone Jack fried. Lightning had struck it. Now our computer was on a surge protector, but the cable running into it from the phone Jack was not. So everything was killed. They fixed the phone line yesterday and we just bought a new computer today, so hopefully I will back to blogging this upcoming week. Thank goodness our renters insurance covered everything! And that at least my phone still let’s me get on the Internet. Talk to you all soon!

    We had a similar thing happen a couple weeks ago! We’re in Bountiful, Utah. The main electrical line “burnt up”/shorted out. It fried the treadmill, the phones, the microwave, the baby monitor, the sprinkler control system, and my radio I use when I sew! Because we technically own the electrical line, but the city maintains it, we were responsible for the damages. Luckily we were able to replace/fix all our stuff for a little over $300, but it still was a nuisance doing it all for a whole week! I got us some new/additional surge protectors. They’d better do the trick. Hopefully it will never happen again!

    Oh how annoying!
    One time we got back from holiday and my bro in law forgot to turn the power back on after fixing a power socket while we were away.DERR! ALL our food in the fridge and freezer were off… At least you have no one to blame but nature!

I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantl I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantle and these fun confetti hearts I made are going to be a part of it. You can find a tutorial to make your own from @amanda_evanston . A few of the items I used in mine were: shredded Anthropologie shopping bag (and cut up the fabric handle too), cut up newspaper, hole punched card stock, fringe from yarn, cut up gold circle confetti, crinkled gift filler paper, etc... It was fun using all kinds of random things ๐Ÿ˜Š
