Stupid Fates harping on my ass!

As soon as I mention saving money for Jacon all hell breaks loose. As I was driving home I started hearing an odd noise from my engine. It sounds like a penny in a mason jar. I didn't hear it this morning, but I wasn't really paying attention.

Our computer was also hacked yesterday. It's got some oooold virus on it that I can't get rid of completely. It also isn't allowing active desktop and a file error pops up every few minutes. I've run spybot as well as adaware. I can get online but it's sloooooow. I'm going to try a few things from majorgeeks.com tonight, but if that doesn't work I'm going to have to take it in. -_-; I feel very stupid right now.

The good news is that through calling on old debts, gathering lose change, and digging through my emergency cash I have about $150 already. Woot! Worse come to worse I can use my 'I'm going to have this card forever' for gas and reg. I don't want to, but I can if I need to. I really want to go to Jacon. I need an escape.

Of course the only IM I use anymore is aim. lol

I found a tutorial before I left for work this morning. I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens. I'll shoot you a message when I either figure something out or give up and scream. ^_^
