We had a big weekend, money-spendingwise, with the purchase of my new laptop! It's beautiful. It's a Toshiba Somethingorother with all kinds of impressive specs. The tough part is this means we've finally gone over to the dark side and embraced Vista, which neither of us is thrilled with. But as my wise IT friend said, time to embrace the future...
I had much more fun picking out the new case for my laptop. There were two super-cute ones that ultimately weren't all that great in terms of functionality. So I ended up with a boring black one that will hold not much else besides the laptop and its power supply. And maybe a pen or two.
I also got some kickin' new shoes, they're like what you'd get if sandals got eaten by clogs and then gave birth to sneakers. And they're red! I hope they'll be my all-purpose who-cares-if-they-get-wet-or-dirty-or-peed-on shoes for kennel cleaning and running around with my charges at school.
The best gift of the weekend was from Dave; it's a binder with a great big list of everything - what to pack, what's left to be done, a bunch of maps and phone numbers and important stuff like that. I had been telling him that every time I had a single thought, it was immediately followed by seven other related thoughts of stuff I had to do, and that it was feeling overwhelming to try to keep it all in my head. So he made me a binder. Love that boy!
