I’m in love
Written by RobynDeHart in Jaunty PostWell, I finally got it. I brought her home the Wednesday before I left for RT (which I’ll tell you about soon), and man-oh-man was she ever worth the wait. The whole Mac store was a great experience. I set up a personal shopping appointment since The Professor and I were buying two computers, we felt we needed the personal attention for any questions we had.

About an hour later we walked out of the mall with an shiny new iMAC and my beautiful, sexy new machine. It even came in its own special bag just for the Air. Now you’ll remember that I’m a PC user - or I was - and I’ve always been pretty handy on a PC able to do things above and beyond the general user. So when we came home and I unpacked my lovely, you can imagine my surprise when I didn’t have to do any of the stuff I’m used to doing in order to get the computer up and running. There was no typing in all the email smtp.whatevers, my baby knew just what to do based on my email address. I didn’t have to tell it where to go to find my router, nope, she found it straight away.

The move from Windows to Mac OS X-Leopard has been very smooth, so far no significant issues for me. I’m able to easily navigate it and have worked through my issues with the programs not docking like windows do - with all the other perks that come with this operating system, that’s an issue I can totally deal with. I’m loving the uber cool touchpad with the scrolling/finger swipe things you can do. The keyboard has a great touch and lights up beautifully when the overhead lights are off. The screen is so bright, frankly I’m surprised I didn’t go blind working on my old laptop. Yes, it’s super light and thin and sleek, but those are just aesthetics, the machine itself is more than I need and so far is a perfect writing companion.
So my big question for you, what should I name her? I figure she’s a girl, although all my previous computers have had boy names. So she should have a sleek name that fits, something elegant, yet hip. Any thoughts? Y’all name your computers too, right?













It really just doesn’t get any better than that.
They’re just so pretty and so feminine and they make me happy.
But I love getting new recipe ideas and learning techniques. And it really stretches my creativity for cooking. It’s also perfect background noise if you just need a tiny afternoon nap.
My Crocs are purple and they look like Smurf shoes and they just make me smile when I wear them. I know I must look ridiculous, but I simply don’t care.
It’s the mineral based make-up and it’s the only stuff that covers my redness without making me look like I’ve spackled my foundation on. And it doesn’t feel heavy. It’s just great for looking natural.
Ever tried this stuff? It’s so yummy. And great on all kinds of stuff. It’s good on apples, celery, wasa, pretzels, crackers, your finger, uh…well, that’s just in a pinch if you can’t find anything else.
