John went to Best Buy last night and came home with my early Christmas present.
(I know he just had surgery five days before, but he seems to have forgotten, so you must too, and instead of lecturing him–it’s been tried–simply LOOK at what he came home with!!)
For me. :) My very own laptop, complete with red laptop bag–at least, it’s red in real life, not the 70’s shade of peach or something it appears to be in this picture–and even a red mouse.
I’m quite spoiled.
This isn’t the only thing he came home with from the electronic superstore and his personal Happiest Place on Earth, but I’ll spare you that list. Just suffice it to say that he was able to mark several things off our “to get before he heads to the Sandy Spot in January” list. Things that are good to have, like, you know, a printer and phones that work.
But the laptop I’m typing on right now? The best of the bunch.
Although I’m not sure whether it’s the laptop itself or the hip and cutesy bag it goes in that I’m more in love with. Because the bag, in all its redness, is pretty awesome just by itself. Not that it’s much good without a computer to put inside it, but oh well. I don’t have to worry about that predicament. Because did I mention that for the first time in my life I have my own computer?
I feel like a full-fledged blogging mama now. Just picture me, typing away on the couch or from the kitchen counter while dinner’s on the stove. Or sitting in bed after the little people are in bed. Since coming up with all sorts of wonderful and eloquent blog posts is exactly what I’ll feel like doing when John’s Over There and I’m here with an infant and a toddler, instead of, you know, SLEEPING.
But, just in case, you can still picture that scene. It’ll make me feel all nifty spifty. Kinda like my new computer and laptop bag.

No, as a Momma Blogger I picture you blogging on your new puter at the kitchen counter with a nursing baby in one arm, a toddler playing at your feet, the washer, dryer and dishwasher humming in the background, stacks of folded laundry on the couch, muffins baking in the oven and stopping every few minutes to stir something on the stove or answer the phone. Such is the life of a busy Momma! Enjoy!

That bag is to *die* for cute! /jealous!
However, I feel it my civic duty to inform you that your new computer is not an apple. :*( Sad times, sad times.

Oh, how exciting!! :) I’m happy for you. :) I’m still brainstorming a way to get myself a laptop before our new baby’s born… somehow, I just don’t want to not get online for 7 weeks like I did last time… :) My plan? Write and sell an ebook. :) We’ll see it if sells! haha But first, we have to fix some technical problems with my website… :| :)
