Mac Attack

After numerous heart attacks caused from my old and not so trusty Mac anymore, I'm typing this post from my very own brand new laptop folks. Ahhhh!!! This has been a long loooooooong time coming for me and I'm so happy that this day is finally here. I have been saving and saving and saving then used half of my tax return so that I could pay for this bad boy. Not only pay for it with cash, but pay for it comfortably to not feel like I entirely broke my bank. Seriously?! What's happening to me that I'm becoming so fiscally responsible?! Whatever it is, I love it. No more stress and worries that keep me up at night about money and no more waking up in the morning and thinking how am I going to get gas, groceries and pay bills all in this same week? I'm also happy to announce that because of all of this and my entire 180 I've pulled on my views about spending and saving that Jordan has also jumped on board with it! This makes us both more conscious about what we're spending and where it's going....can't have babies or that dream house without a good financial foundation! Anyway, that's not the point of this.


I traded in my old iBook...yes, I was still rocking an iBook which they don't even make anymore. And I upgraded to an HP. I figured, I'm not making movies or doing anything fancy with pictures that I can't do a pc so I might as well get something that's worth the cost of what I'm going to be using it for. This new computer has everything I'll need to get me through grad school, wedding planning, and beyond. I love all of the special features about it. A fingerprint swipe for passwords and a built in webcam for skype? Um yes please and thank you. I'm feeling like I'm finally part of the cool kids club and I can now sit for 7 hours on the couch without being plugged into anything. Well, that's what the computer claims the battery can do.....and I just might have to test that out some day to prove them right or wrong. Whenever I can find 7 free hours to just lounge that is....


Well I've already crossed one thing off my craft to do list. Last weekend I tackled the tying of ribbons onto the bubbles and I'm so happy to say that's done. Now I'm working on the monogram E for the headtable and it's turning out cuter by the second. I will have a picture for sure when it's done. For now, I'm going to keep playing with my new toy and see what other cool features I can find :)
