First we bought Big Red, which depleted our savings. Then, several small things took bites out as well. Then there was Christmas and, well...let's just say our savings account will be thrilled to see our tax return come February.
We got so many gift cards for Christmas that Luke finally said yes. We purchased a laptop at the Dell Outlet store (which for the life of me I don't know why I'd ever buy a personalized one now), and I anxiously checked my Dell account for a tracking number that never showed. I even called the Dell folks to see if they could help me track my laptop. Notta.
Wouldn't you know, FedEx would decide to deliever my new laptop just as I was 1 wipe into a smelly diaper. I had not yet showered, had on no bra, was wearing my glasses and looked, well...interesting.
Nonetheless, my new laptop loved me just the same. It was a sweet introduction and I briefly thought about grabbing my camera and taking a picture of the FedEx guy walking up to the door, but I didn't want to freak him out any further (I mean, since I looked so fab and all).
Tearing into my new toy
Isn't she lovely? Let's call her Gizmo, okay?So now, as I sit in my bed, and write his post with Gizmo on my lap, I realize that this could evolve into a bad, bad thing. Oh well, I'm always looking for ways to test my self-control...wait, no I'm not.
NICE...
ReplyDeletebefore our laptop crashed, i wrote a blog post in bed and it was SO NICE...dangerously nice. The kind of nice that makes you think it can't be a good thing :-)
Enjoy your new toy...
Oh, I am SO jealous! I have been hinting (begging) Noah for a lap top so that we can be on our computers in bed every night together. Romantic, huh? Instead, I sit in my office, while he sits in bed on his computer. So unfair. Not to mention one of the perks of being the "head of the creative department," his computer is an Apple iBook Pro on huge amounts of steroids.
ReplyDeleteI think being on computers in bed together would bring us closer, don't you? I mean, at least we'd be in the same room! :-)
Unfortunately, my list of desired new toys is pretty long, including a new (used) van, an iPod, an SLR camera, a new roof on our house, etc. A lap top may not fit in at the top, but one can hope.
Have fun with Gizmo, and ask her if she has any cheap Apple sisters.
I found your blog through MckMama's and I really enjoy reading it! Since I actually have to get off the computer and clean my house I'll have to come back later and read more :) Stop by my blog sometime if you get a chance...I love visitors :)

congrats. i've also been thinking how nice it would be to have a laptop for the same 'easy' reason. and today i had someone picking up a changing table they bought from me off of craigslist. i probably looked exactly like you, except i had a bra on. only because i'm nursing and NEED it on. :0) i can't believe i just told you that. lol.
ReplyDeleteHello dear, I never did get that text you sent. I'm still in school, counting down the days until I get out. My apologies for all the f bombs.
ReplyDeleteNow, blogging is portable! Yeah! What will we talk about now that you won't be cursing your computer everytime I call you?
ReplyDeleteHey there...I just popped over here to tell you that I thought your entry on MckMama's blog was hilarious. And now I also have to tell you that I LOVE your header! It's beautiful! Did you create it yourself? I am considering paying someone to do mine (we don't have Photo Shop), so I was just curious. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so much fun I got my lap top for Christmas and I LOVE IT! It does some not so cool things every once in a while but I will write that off to technology and...well... me! hahaha. Enjoy! She's a Beaut!
ReplyDeleteyeah for new laptops! have fun and don't stay up all night!!
