Had I only known....

During the last 12 months, although at times frustrated, my husband has been diligent to keep our Dell laptop alive. I had been extremely supportive of such endeavors. He had kept me up to date with it's status and even as the end was coming, I was still in denial ~ "Are you sure there isn't something we can do? I mean really just because the thing is dying, do we really need to pull the plug?"

And as previously mentioned we did end up replacing it with a Macbook. Well, due to my extreme lack of knowledge of the technological world little did I know how fun a Macbook could be!!!! After Dan had played with our computer for a little, he started showing me some of it's features. (I can only take small doses~ little overwhelming for me to understand and use all at once)

One of the benefits (huge benefit) is that I can now actually iChat with my mom and her husband (YEAH!!!) because it has a built-in webcam. I got to speak and see them last night for about 45 minutes! I haven't seen my mom since Thanksgiving so this was a really special treat for me. We are definitely going to have to do more of that!

Had I know about this feature, I may have encouraged Dan to euthanize the old computer a long, long, long time ago!

Another fun thing is the photobooth application! Just wanted to share some of our fun with you.

Yes, for all of you that notice. I did just get my hair cut and yes, I have bangs. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. I've had them long for seven years~ I'd sort of gotten used to my big forehead :-) Dan's says he likes them though :-) I trust his opinion.

Randomness...

Well, I did it. This is officially my fifth post in five days. That's right, one post every day this week. I am proud of myself and you should be too. To mark this monumental occasion, I present to you some randomness:

* I miss Beavis and Butthead. Beavis came up very randomly in a conversation with a friend this morning and I remembered that his 'Cornholio' skit is still one of the funniest moments in TV history.

* Megan and I have a date tonight. I am so excited. We're going to dinner at our favorite Sushi restaurant and are then going to see 'Leatherheads'. Should be a fun evening.

* I really really really want a black Macbook...

* The brown brick EVERYWHERE at RTS does nothing to motivate me to study.

* "I don't care if Monday's blue; Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too; Thursday I don't care about you; It's Friday, I'm in love."

* One day I would like to sneak into a grocery store after it has closed and absolutely rearrange everything on the shelves and change the signs around just to confuse the manager and employees the next morning.

* I really need to get our VW looked at. The transmission is kind of acting up and I am horrified at what it might cost to get fixed if there is a serious problem.

* I am preaching at Ambassador Pres (our home church) next weekend on 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. I've tentatively titled the sermon "So Spiritual". Surely I can do better than that.

* I just noticed that my friend Matt changed his facebook status to say he is eating Cadbury eggs. Matt, I am jealous and demand that you save one for me next weekend. I'll trade you three Resse's cups for one cadbury egg. (Speaking of Facebook statuses (stati?), I wonder if Link is playing the recorder...)

* Today I actually missed something about the ole' hometown. I miss taking off from lunch at work to go see a Cards game at Busch. Plus it is a good reason to drink beer at noon. Oooh, I also miss Imo's Pizza and gyros from Majestic and that really-bad-for-you-but-oh-so-amazing-tasting Chinese food from Hon's Wok. This reminds me that Hon's was right next door to a Cat Clinic. Hahahaha. Folks, I am not making that up. It was classic.

* I need new flip-flops. And a pedicure...

Have a great weekend, friends!
