TO-MORROW!

Internet,

Please accept my most sincere apologies for my absence. I have also forgotten to shower and brush my teeth this past month, so don't think you're the only thing I'm neglecting! :)

But guess what?!

Tomorrow, I become an AUNT! (My poor S-I-L has been in the hospital all afternoon.)

Excitement Level 1,000,000,000,000,000!!!

She will get to share a birthday with my baby brother too, which he can't decide if he's ok with or not.

But this I DO know.
I can't wait to meet her.
And kiss her smooshed up little face, and hands and feet and neck.
And teacher her all about Broadway Musicals, and making chocolate chip cookies, reading books and buying her ridiculous toys and clothes and makeup, and getting phone calls when she decides her parents just don't understand.
And all the other fun things that only aunts get to do!


Hurry up baby girl, we've got so much to do!
Love, Aunt Krystal

Why NOT to sleep with your laptop on your bed...

Hi Internet!

So, 19 credits this semester is gonna be a BEAST. Have no fear. I've written everything down in my planner (that isn't my favorite Franklin Covey one cause apparently they discontinued it. BOOO!) and I think it's manageable.

BUT. Here's my crisis. So, I'm taking all these credits and some of them require that I have a laptop... Well guess what homegirl did last week? Yep, fell asleep watching Jersey Shore on my laptop and I guess I was like thrashing about in my bed and shoved my laptop onto the floor. The hard drive is fine, but the screen is TOAST. So, I can still access my programs I just have to hook up to a monitor or my TV... Not too convenient. Can you imagine me walking to class with my laptop AND my TV? haha So, yeah, I've basically converted my laptop into a desk top. Lovely.

My Laptop Screen. Post Fall.

SO, I kind of need to replace it. 

But I'm stuck. Mac or PC?
(Dang blogger won't let me upload a pic. Use your imagination.)

I know that Macs are all sorts of fancy and never get viruses and that's what I'll have in my classroom with the school district here.... But they're SO dang expensive. (And did I mention that I'm 19 credits BROKE? haha) But deep down, I kinda want one.

And then there's the PC thing. I'm SO down with how they run. The Mac mouse and funky set up throws me off all the time. Like how do I Right Click?? And What happens when I minimize a screen, where in the CRAP did it go??? And don't get me started on Excel for Mac... I find it easier to use my PC than the school Mac. AND, they're cheaper.

Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed and encouraged.

Happy Wednesday!
