have your cake and eat it too

so i got a new laptop for my birthday last month from hubby! i got it right before we left on our trip to hawaii. my last laptop was fine untilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll some little boy stepped on top of it!! i suspect he's stood on top of it more than once. the computer still worked fine but just the screen would flop over if it was too slanted. it has a huge crack on the outside corner. i had to always prop it up just so. not anymore! i am still geting used to this laptop. when editing pictures, i thought i rotated the pic but when loading them, it still shows that it's still sideways. ughhhh. still getting used to it. the pic of the card above---- i had to upload it like 4x before i got it rotated right! not liking this photo editing program on this computer.
trying to finish the hawaii pics to show y'all. at the rate i'm going, they'll be a thing of the past!
also, if you would just give me your link to your blogs so i can bookmark them. i have to start from scratch all over again. if i've commented on your blogs within the last week, then i bookmarked you.another birthday present i received was the bloggie by sony. this present was from the boys. i still need to learn how to use that! [any reviews out there?] yep, i got techie toys this year! no crafty things, can you believe that?!

edited to add: the card above made the galllery here. =)
