Playing Library

I thought I would share a funny story.

So when I was little, my siblings, cousins, and I would play a fun game we liked to call Library.

After gathering tons of books, pulling out the tower of my parents' computer, and finding our library cards,

one person would stand behind "the desk" and be the librarian.

The rest would check out books and then after a little while we would return them and check out more.

Sounds exciting right?

Well, the best part was we would pretend that the floppy disk drive was the library card scanner.

So obviously everyone wanted to be the librarian because that meant you got to slide the library cards.

We'd stick it in and pull it out quickly.

But you HAD to make sure you held onto the card 

or it would get stuck in the floppy disk drive and then our game was over...

because isn't it obvious?

We'd get in trouble.

I'm not sure exactly how many library cards we got stuck in the floppy disk drive, but it was quite a few.

So I told you that story to tell you this story.

As I mentioned in my blind hem post, I took pictures yesterday as I was hemming my pants.

I still had a little while before I needed to get ready for work
so I figured I'd put the pictures on our computer and write up the tutorial
while it was still fresh in my mind how to do it.

Our laptop has a cool little card reader built in,

which is SUPER handy because then I don't have to find my cord to upload pictures.

So I take my card out of my camera and try to stick it into the slot.

Of course I did it without looking because I do it all the time.

Well, the first attempt I hit the side of the computer, 

so I figured the slot was just up a little more.

It went right in.

Although, it wasn't the card reader spot...

it was CD drive!

Our CD drive doesn't pop out it is just a slot...

And you guessed it, I let go and the card got stuck!

After I tried getting it out for a little while, I was afraid I would scratch something if I tried too long, 

I sent my sweet husband a text.

After telling him what happened, 

he sent me a text that said,

"Playing library?"
