Eh, I’ll try NaBloPoMo again (I skipped it last year, since we were in Disney World). A post a day for a month? I think I can handle that…though it would be easier if our 2000 computer wasn’t so darn slow (it can no longer do 2 things at once, and cannot display text as fast as I can type it). Yes, that’s right, 2000. We are the least techy people ever! We have tube TVs (and no, we aren’t just waiting for them to die before we get Plasma or LCD…we replaced both our TVs last year, with tube TVs), no IPODS, and were the last among everyone we know to get a DVD player (we used VHS until around 2004) and a digital camera. We are looking at getting a new computer though…as soon as the man and I figure out what we want and where to put it!
His (stupid) plan: To build a computer desk into half of his walk in closet and get a new PC. He has actually started. About 2 months ago his ripped apart half of said closet. He then, instead of building a desk into it, proceeded to fill it with the things (junk he has been keeping forever and will never use) from the office that should be a nursery by now, and topped it up with his dirty laundry. Of course, there are no doors on ripped apart closet, so our bedroom is a disgusting disaster zone due to his project. I’d take a picture, but I think he’d get mad at me!
My (awesome) plan: Get a lap-top. We can just use it wherever and wont need a designated computer area. Put the doors back on the closet and hide all the man’s shit treaures.
This is actually becoming a source of significant stress to me. We cannot start to set up the nursery until we get the computer out of it (though the man is supposedly on the verge of painting the room, right around the computer)…and I really really want the furniture in there already so I can start sorting and organzing things.
Oh well, in more news, I visited Chrissy today. Though I am sorry for the circumstances that brought her to Toronto, it was great to see her after over 2 years and finally meet her husband!! Again, lets all send *baby stay inside* prayers and vibes and wishes her way.
And, for your viwwing pleasure, The Girl last night..as Hannah Montana, of course!

I vote for the laptop. I love mine. I don’t think we will ever get a desktop for the house ever again. We do have 2 desktops for Dh’s business office.
Good Luck

i’m glad you got to see Chrissy! and to meet J! She seems in good spirits.
The girl looks super cute!! E wouldn’t go up to any house with a pumpkin so trick or treating was cut really short this year!
I also vote for laptop except for one thing…i personally find the keys too small and make way more typos on laptops than on PC keyboard (but would probably get used to it in time)
Our computer is also really slow and really annoying!! we got it in 2004 so i can’t imagine yours!

Dad, you’ll have to ask her.
I agree Dina and Wendy, Lap-top is the way to go. Even if the man does finish his computer area, we can use it there. We really need ot get on top of getting one, as I want a new computer and I want this one out of the nursery (which the man started painting today…yeah!). I had a lap-rop at work for a few year, and got used the the keyboard eventually.

Go for the laptop. You won’t regret it– just tell the man he can surf while pooping (Apparently this is heaven to men) and he should be swayed.

My computer is from 2003 and often has the typing thing too. I’d totally get a laptop. If I were you I might go so far as to hit the first Future Shop in your path and plunk down your Visa without taking him along! Putting off the nursery is one thing, turning your bedroom into a disaster area is another. Having my bedroom clean after having a baby is a big deal to me. Especially when I’m going to spend 40 mins nursing every other hour all night.

Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for coming by the hospital on Sunday! Totally made my day! I was also soooo happy to see Dina on Saturday too!
I was so glad we got to catch up AND finally chat a bit. Also glad you got to meet my husband finally! Oh, and you look AWESOME!!!
Funny how it takes “Junior” being possibly delivered prematurely to get me back to T.O. to see everyone! Thanks again for everyone! Love you and Dina both! XO
Happy NaBloPoMo-ing!!!
