I Am Not A Bore, I Promise!

So I guess I haven’t written in a while. Yeah, my mom mentioned it on the phone tonight. You know I haven’t written in a while when my mom mentions it. I could blame my lack of writing on busy-ness because work has been a little a crazy and home has been a little crazy, but I hate letting busy-ness be an excuse for not getting things done. Truth is, I’m of the opinion that I’m pretty boring; therefore, I’m of the opinion that I have nothing to write about. But when I think about it, I know I’m not boring. Here is the evidence:

  1. I bought a Mac this summer, and now I have become a Mac snob. I’m certain that had I not become a Mac, I never would’ve finished that triathlon, gotten bangs, or seen So You Think You Can Dance on tour. (OK, the Mac association is probably a little extreme, but I think it has some merit…)
  2. I am reading Hemingway. I got four of his books for Christmas and have spent the last few weeks reading two of them. Gotta say that The Sun Also Rises was sorta weird, but I liked A Farewell to Arms. Working through For Whom the Bell Tolls right now, and then all I have left is The Old Man and the Sea.
  3. I am a little obsessed with fleur-de-lis right now; hence, the new background on my blog. I have another blog in the works to explain this. I’ll get it up soon.

I don’t know what I’ll be writing about in the coming days and weeks. I’m not training for anything right now–just doing some periodic running and weight training. But stay tuned…things are bound to get interesting!

I am Officially a Mac! W00t!

Omigosh! This week has been insane! Of course, I’m playing catch-up at work from being out ten days (OK, who are we kidding, it’s taken maybe two collective hours to get up to speed).

No, the biggest distraction of the week is my new MacBook! I am finally in the club! So I’ve been playing with that all week, and pretty much, blogging has gone out the window. My Gateway laptop started having problems again last week (I’ve had problems with it ever since I bought it in 2002), and Chris and I started checking out used Macs on eBay. We sent an email to some of our friends to see if they knew of anyone aching to get rid of a used Mac laptop, and one of our friends bit! Turns out, she compulsively bought this computer last week, felt like she could’ve put the money to better use, and offered it to us at a reduced rate. And the money we paid is going to a good cause, not just our friend’s pocketbook. Everyone wins! God is so frickin’ good!

More later, I promise! I have some sweet Independence Day weekend photos to share (once I figure out this iPhoto thing).
