So I spent a fair amount on money this evening and bought a new laptop. Brand. New. I've never had a brand new laptop before. I'm a little thrilled. Well, thrilled, alternating with stomach pains every time I think about the price. That should pass though (I hope).
It's going to be a bit while I get used to the new keyboard, also, which is annoying. Also the mouse pad/pointer thing is not sensitive at all and I have to actually press down to get it to do anything.
I'm in the long and involved process of moving all my files from the previous computer to Adam's external hard drive so I can put everything onto this one. This one, in case you were curious, is a shiny white LG R580 and though I'm running Vista, I'm happy enough with it. It does not fold my laundry, which I wish it did, but we'll get through. I have pronounced it male and named him Alejandro. I think we'll be happy together.
Shopping was going to originally be Adam, Katie and I, but Aimee and Trishka ended up tagging along. T and I played in all the elevators (alternately called 'alligators') at Sears while the grownups looked for fancy clothes to wear to court. I will have you note there are no elevators (or alligators) in our local Sears store. Good times were had by all.
Speaking of good times, the sales rep at Future Shop was very cute as well. And he gave me a hundred bucks off which was good. But he is not single.
The winningest part of all of today, of course, is that I AM CONNECTED TO THE WIRELESS. Oh yes.
