It Happened!

I GOT A MACBOOK!!!

Okay, I was planning to be all clever and build suspense with my revelation of this fact, but I am just too excited.

I HAVE A LAPTOP!!!

My own, my love, my precious!!I kiss you, you beautiful, beautiful thing!

For those of you who have been around here, you'll know that my lack of laptop has been a favorite gripe of mine for at least a year. This is a post, well over a year ago, in which I was whining about it.

So yesterday, when my awesome, amazing hubby called from work and said, "Let's get a Macbook tonight on our date," I was blown away. I actually was thinking, I'll believe it when I see it. And now here it is, in my hot little hands.

I have already given him a name (yes, it's a him. Because I want to kiss it, a lot.) He shall be called The Beloved.

Here he is. Just look at him. Look at the starry eyed way I look at him. Ah, my friends, I am so happy.

How could you--

You said--

All those LIES you told me!

I am searching every dark corner of the internet until I find a mac virus. And then your little Beloved is getting a one-stop trip to a little place I like to call obsolescence.

Natalie-I've been squealing all day! I think I'm way too happy too. :)

Kiersten-Thanks!! I'm pumped!

Renee Collins said...

Oh Laptop, Laptop.

Don't you see? I'm a woman with needs. How long did I wait for you to leave Kiersten and come away with me? How many nights did I cry into my pillow?

I had to do what was right for me. So when Beloved came in with his clean, white lines, and shiny Snow Leopard operating system, I couldn't resist.

Remember the good times, Laptop.

And keep your filthy PC hands off my Mac.

Your beautiful sleek mac makes my laptop look like a clunker. I hope you and The Beloved have a long and prosperous relationship. I'm sure you'll make an inspiring team.

You are so cute! CONGRATS! It's a beauty, that's for sure. May you write forever well on it!

Awesome. I love the name.

I got an ibook in college, but he is old now and wearing on me. He doesn't even have wireless, is missing a question mark key, and has really outdated windows. However, I can't let him go, but between you and me (I'm typing on husband's laptop so this will remain between us) your beloved is way hotter than mine.

Renee Collins said...

Candice-I do hope we'll be productive. Right now, however, I'm still distracted by playing around with his many bells and whistles. :)

Amanda-Thanks!

Becca-Yes, we definitely need to talk Macbooks. I'm still afraid I'm going to somehow mess it up.

Michelle-I'll drink to that!

Tara-heh, thanks.

Jessie-I know the feeling. Many a time I would use my big PC to look up pictures of Macbooks online. But don't worry, I won't tell your laptop. :)
