how i made my millions part 416: MACBOOK FRENZY!!!
OH HOLY CRAP!!!
i'm getting a gorgeous refurbished macbook in about five days (or however long it takes to ship). let me just say i'm a bit excited. it will be my first new computer experience since i got this old laptop through college back in 2002. i wanted a mac machine when i got my first PC back in 1999 or so... but to my great dismay all i could afford at the time was a really cheap old compaq. so many years later i wait in eager anticipation for my first apple computer. this will be my second apple product, as i received a lovely black 30 GB video ipod from my lovely soon to be hubby for Christmas. the only thing i'm sad about is getting used to OS X, at this point i have been using Ubuntu Linux for about a year and this OS is like a comfortable old pair of shoes. troy reminded me that OS X is like a new pair of the same kind of shoes, but better and more shiny.
Petie Gets A Mac
troy is ordering a macbook too and thinks i should let him take the first one that gets here. he better think again!
in other news...
the first dual-family holiday went rather well. my parents attended Christmas Eve festivities with Troy's family and troy attended Christmas Day festivities with my family. all went well and much delicious food was consumed. all in all, it was the best holiday i've had in a long time.
wedding is now only about 17 days away. after much prep i feel that most everything is done except some small and less important details. we have finally made reservations for the honeymoon and found a preacher, those two things alleviated a lot of the stress involved.
pet news- molly and linux are getting along very well. i think linux taught molly how to drink out of the toilet.
