Hello blogosphere! I'm back! I haven't been writing for the past fews days at least and I missed it!
I feel like I've been to "Hell" and back!
It all started last sunday 4/12. The only thing good about that day was that it was my brother's birthday (he's now 48 yrs old going on 10 (mentally anyway!)). I wished him a "Happy Birthday" that day, then everything went down hill from there!
The "Hell" started when my husband innocently logged into his facebook account and found that it had been "hacked"! After his reaction of "s*&%t", he changed his password and warned his friends not open anything from him.
Well, before we knew it, our computer had been completely infected with a very nasty "virus". A security scan revaled something like 22 "Trojans" and several "spyware and malware" viruses had taken over our system! AGH!
Apparently my husband had hit some kind of trigger that "opened the flood gates" and let this virus take over! We then called every company we have accounts with and changed our passwords and got new account numbers assigned just in case to protect us! "Hell!"
We weren't even able to access our security programs on our computer to erase the bugs, or go on the internet. Each time we tried we got redirected to a fake "website" stated we had to "purchase" "their software" in order to log onto the internet asked us to enter in a credit card number, we're smart enough to know not to do that. Oh and by the way , our emails were also "hacked".
Finally after 2 days of nonstop virus fighting, as of last night I was "victorious" in the battle! I finally got our system restored and the virus is now long gone!! Today I feel like I've been to a mental "Hell" and came back a winner!

Small World
The song "It's a small world after all..." has been replaying in my mind many times the past few days! It first started last Saturday night when my husband and I saw this mysterious cute little boy run down our driveway out of nowhere! When my husband went outside to see where this little guy had come from and gone, he realized he was part of a family of two parents and three kids that were visiting our friends next door (who also have three kids) for at least a few days! Wondering why my husband was outside for what seemed a while, I started to hear some laughing and chatting, so I also went outside and was immediately introduced to the "visiters" and was told that they are from Alabama, nothing odd about that, where the "small world" thing comes into play is that they also used to live in the San Francisco bay area which is where I grew up and lived un til about 8 years ago! We spent the rest of the night playing with all six kids and talking about life inthe "bay area" and how much we all miss it.
Later that night while I was still saying to my husband and to myself
"what a small world, meeting those people here some 2,000 miles away from the bay area!" I logged onto my page on Facebook, only to see that one of my friends who I met in 1st grade and was friends with all through school until we graduated high school, and have just recently connected again with through Facebook (she still lives in my hometown in the bay area) is travelling with her three kids across the country for the first part of the summer, and is documenting every place they stop in along the way was staying the weekend only a few minutes from my house! Keep in mind that we have not seen each other basically since high school ( which I hate to say is over 15 years ago), we reconnected just recently through Facebook, and during her journey across the country with her kids this summer just happens to be staying a couple nights just a few minutes from my front door, at least 2,000 miles from her own front door! We arranged to meet for breakfast this morning to "catch up and take a walk down memory lane" before they hit the road again for another new adventure. I have been singing the song "It's a small world" in my head over and over again, and right now I believe "It's a small world" more than ever before!
