I want I want I waaaaant!!!

Take a minute...soak it all in....the sleek, skinny, sexiness that is MacBook Air

My laptop took a dumb and died about...like almost a year ago? I don't know it's been a long time, too long to go without a laptop. I usually use my iPhone, or Pete's MacBook, but it's not the same wonderful experience as having your OWN laptop. And especially one as sexy as a MacBook Air. 

For a long time I've been hesitant to get a new laptop because if I'm on a computer I'm usually only on the internet, and given the fact that I can get to the internet and really do anything I need to do through my phone, I felt it would be a waste of money. Then I saw the Chromebook commercial which totally had me sold "Look how happy everyone is, that laptop looks like so much FUN! Why do I feel an urge to be friends with that laptop? Must be the music montage..." and I thought I had found the perfect solution to my laptop woes. But much to my dismay, I went to Best Buy, just to see a Chromebook in person and I was VERY disappointed. It felt cheap, it looked cheap, and it functioned cheap, because of course, it is! It's just technically under 250 bucks.

So after my disappointment settled in I searched around through all the other cheaper laptops hoping to find something workable. But I am really NOT a fan of Windows, let alone Windows 8 and most of them were HUGE and UGLY (I really know what's important in computers, obviously). I thought about perhaps going with a tablet, but they're really just a bigger version of a phone and I like having a keyboard. Some of the tablet/laptop hybrids looked appealing but they run on android and I don't know if I want to go there either. AND some of those hybrids are like 6-7 hundred bucks...I feel like it would be worth it just to go big and really get the best bang for your buck...insert MacBook Air.

And if someday I actually DO go back to school, it would really be a necessity

So have I talked you into talking me into thinking this is something I DEFINITELY have to get??

Maybe I'll be responsible and save up my money to get one....or I'll just put it on a credit card....ahh!!

Grandma Pants

This is harder than I remember....

I was TOTALLY excited to write a new blog post and to declare for the fourth? fifth? time that I AM BACK TO BLOGGING! And I was going to go through the whole thing again about how I was gone and now I'm here and tomorrow I'll be gone again but then I thought I'd try to play it cool and just BAM! spit out a new blog post as if blogging is still a regular thing I like to do. I had this whole blog planned in my mind about my Grandma Pants (as Pete affectionately calls them) and I thought it was going to be like SO funny, and had typed about four sentences when I realized I was blogging about a dirty cat hair ridden pair of pajama/yoga pants that I practically live in and I got discouraged. I know, why right? Writing about a pair of dirty cat hair ridden pajama/yoga pants is TOTALLY the sexiest way to bust back into the blogosphere! Maybe one day I'll complete my blog post about Grandma Pants, IF YOU'RE LUCKY, but for now I guess this awkward attempt at a first blog post in like a million years will have to do.
