Back up your computer!

My laptop crashed and I had to have it rebuilt. Guess what I forgot to do before that?!?! - Back up my documents.

This is a fairly new laptop so I didn't have much - but what I did have - sigh.... my 14 page 3 Flat Acres business plan and my draft farm budget excel spreadsheets. I have been working on these documents since October. I have a dated version of the business plan (from January) on my jumpdrive but Bill and I have literally have put in hours on this document and all of that is gone.

Just a warning to all of my blogging friends - get a backup schedule and system and stick to it.

This is such a drag. I can't even fathom starting over tonight so I think I'll go sit on the couch with the cat and read a book. This is a mistake I will only make once.
