I Need a New Laptop!

I realized today how totally, utterly and completely attached I have become to my computer when it died last night! My poor old laptop (circa 2000) has been on it’s last legs for a while now and I knew I’d have to replace it soon. My son was checking it out for me and in the process, actually hastened it’s death! It died a quiet, quick death.

Ryan, my son, being Ryan and somewhat OCD (Obsessive Complusive Disorder) stayed up half the night trying to fix it despite my objections. He finally passed out around 3 a.m. Poor baby, he has to be up at 6 for school.

When he got home from school, he was right back to work on the laptop trying to repair it. He felt so guilty about being the one to break it though it really was on it’s last legs.

I feel like I’m missing an arm or a leg. We do have a monstrasity of a computer in the family room that I have been using today instead but it’s a poor substitute. It’s not small or portable. Nor does it have my tricked out firefox toolbar and all my stuff just where I want it. But at least it gets me online.

I have been trying all day to win a pink laptop on ebay and it hasn’t been easy! I have lost 5 auctions in a row. Don’t these people know I’m lost without a laptop?

I’m going to keep trying and victory will be mine! I shall have a new (to me anyway) pink laptop. A wahm can hardly do without one!
