But aside from that, she's still completely normal

to laptop or not

I think I need some advice.

Do I buy a laptop or not?  I will have the money from our refund.  however, I’m not sure I should spend it on that or debt.

Then again – this other refund – that rebate thingie for the economy – is found money.  I didn’t work for it, I didn’t earn it, so heck, why put it towards debt?

I have an old clunky laptop which is fairly unuseable.  When talking to those in the know about such things, they basically said “Go new…  Even if you try to upgrade the old one, it’s just not meant to handle that much processing.”

OK fine.  I won’t upgrade, it would be new.  Then there was the mac vs pc debate…  Which I still haven’t reconciled.

Why do I want one?

I have a desktop at home, and one at work.  They both are fine.   I have no complaints there.

But every once in a while I would like to go sit on the couch instead.  Every once in a while, I’d like to go to starbucks and write without the distractions.  And – if I’m totally honest – I’d like to take it with me to BlogHer.

Is all that enough to spend that kind of money though?  I think this is a case of guilt vs. want.  Which is going to win?

What would you do?  No, seriously, help me out here!

I am really really struggling today.  The kids are annoying me.  Joseph stole a Diet Dr. Pepper.  He argued constantly about what he should bring to school…  We ran out of the house late, and so I have no makeup on.  Just one of those freakin’ days.  I prayed.  About my attitude.  ‘Cause this sucks.

And further more – this project of Joseph’s was for his Student of the Week.  Jesus, am I a bad mom or what?

twit. me not you.

I’m officially twittering now.

Figured it was an easy way to rant a oneliner – rather than posting a blog about how I’d like to bop someone on the head. heh.

So yeah – let me know if you’re a twit too.  I’ll follow you.

Genuine listening means suspending memory, desire, and judgment and, for a moment at least, existing for the other person.-Michael P. Nichols

So.  You may have noticed the new button over there on the right.  It’ll go away in April.  It’s part of Sonia’s March Birthday Party.

I’m turning 33 on the 29th.

I have a sneaking suspicion it’s going to be forgot around the home parts – it’s been a bit crazy.  So – if this is the only recognition it gets?  So be it.

It’s my birthday month.  I’m celebrating.
