MIA because Monitor Problems

So I bought my computer not even a year ago and already the monitor started to act up.  The screen kept blinking and making loud pitch sounds :(   Since I have a 3 year warranty, I thought I might as well put it to use since I paid almost $300 for it.  So I took the monitor back to where I got it from so they can repackage it and send it to the manufacturer to get it fixed.  I waited and waited for about 3 weeks until they finally called and said it was "fixed".  When I brought the monitor back home I quickly plugged it in and noticed there was a bunch of scratches and cracks on the screen.  A few hours later the monitor made again... made a high pitched sound and on top of that it completely turned the screen black.  So... I took it back, and they sent it in again... This time I waited over a month... I wasn't able to use my computer at all during this time and didn't really want to buy a new monitor for the time being because if I did... then this whole thing would have been a waste of time.  But at least this time when I got my monitor back, they fixed it correctly, I hope... It has only been about a week, so hopefully nothing goes wrong.  That's why I haven't been updating my blog :( I was going to do a loose buttons luxe box review (for those of you who are familiar with birchbox, this is the Canadian version of that.  But for those of you who aren't I'll explain it in another post when I do the review)  but I've received all 3 of them and figured it was already too late! Ahhh...  This totally foiled my blogging plans :( boo... lol
