The Power of a Band-Aid

Don't you wish everything was as simple as putting a band-aid on and everything feels better? It's amazing how one little thing will make everything feel better for a 3-year old. This morning Luke had a scrape on his hand & he was crying (not really crying, more like pouting) about how much it hurt. So, he's getting in the car & he's still pouting, so I was like, let me see it. Well, when he showed me I could see some of the skin had come off, so I kissed it thinking that would help. Oh no, "Mommy, it hurts, I need a band-aid." So, I went back inside to get him a band-aid (I've learned to keep a supply on hand), I might add, this is no ordinary plain Jane band-aid, this is a SpongeBob SquarePants band-aid. When I got back to the car I put his band-aid on & he commented on it being SpongeBob, so I asked how his ouchy was & he said better. So, when I picked him up from day care I forgot to see if he still had it on (knowing it wasn't on there); so I asked - "Luke, do you still have your band-aid on?" He said, "No, I took it off at day care. I'm all better, so I didn't need it anymore." I want a band-aid like that! :)

So, I accidently deleted a lot of digital pictures last week and just realized it last night. Erik & I were talking this morning about what could have happened (at this point we didn't realize it was me) & he mentioned it might be a virus, because it was only certain pictures that were deleted. Well, when Luke and I had our conversation this morning I had an idea... maybe if we put a band-aid on the computer it would fix it. So I called Erik, but couldn't explain what I meant when I said we need a band-aid on it, because that is when he informed me that when I was setting up my Zune I probably deleted the photos since it was certain ones. See, the Zune will play a slideshow while you are listening to music, so I thought I would put some of Erik, Luke, my family & friends. We have a lot of pictures, so I was (what I thought) deleting the ones off the Zune that I didn't want. Boy was I wrong. :( So, I don't know if they can be recovered or not. Luckily the ones of Luke are still on there & most of the other ones we can get a copy somewhere. But, of course there are some that are going to be gone forever if Erik can't recover them. As Erik said, there are people who lose all their stuff in fires, including pictures, so we lost a few hundred, no big deal.

Well, day three of exercising & still going strong. I really like my dvr - it is what gets me thru exercising. Hopefully the writer's strike will end soon so new shows will come on. I'm slowly running out of programs to watch. But, then again there is always my music... at least that didn't get deleted.

Hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
