do over
Could someone please loan me a time machine? I had a great weekend, then just as I was going to bed on Sunday night everything started sucking.
I picked up my water glass from the coffee table on my way to bed, and managed to smack it right into one of the two beautiful, hand-blown etched glass tumblers we'd gotten as a wedding present. The tumbler broke right in half. I can't tell you how sick I feel about this.
The next morning I got up and started reading my e-mail on the nice shiny new laptop. I reached out with my right hand for the same water glass, and spilled an ENTIRE glass of water right into the keyboard. I could see the screen fizzing and sputtering as I frantically turned the power off. Needless to say, it's totally destroyed and Acts of Stupidity aren't covered under the warranty or our renter's insurance.
Plus, I feel like crap. Can't I please just start again from Sunday?

Well, I'd start by throwing out that water glass, it is clearly evil.
"Clearly". Ha! I crack me up.

He does have a point about throwing out the water glass. Might I suggest throwing it against something so it breaks, thus destroying whatever evil resides in it?

Maybe a sippy cup is what you need. The old glass can become a vase that you keep outside.

I wouldn't dismiss the laptop just yet. What make and model is it? Chances are if you completely take it apart and let everything dry it will come back to life. You might have to replace a few things, but it will be less $$ than a new one, or a trip to the repair shop.
