One more birthday present

I blog so infrequently that I forget what I have (not) said. Sue me.

To celebrate my silver + cotton birthday, I got myself a few pair of sneaks. 5. One pair was replacing some I’d had since 9th grade (remember when I threw them out in England?). The other 4 I got just ’cause I wanted them.

I <3 Chucks

2nd custom pair

That brings the count to 10.

Of course, I was (and am) happy with my present to myself. I wanted more Chucks for the non-winter months here and, even when I try other shoes (Pumas, adidas, Nikes), I always go back to the classics.

I’m rambling. I’m trying to get to the point where I bought my new computer. I did. Last week. And I love it.
I was in the store alone and texting friends asking for advice on what to do. Honestly, after about 10 minutes in the store, I had convinced myself that I needed a new desktop and a new laptop. Seriously. But after a special someone in New Orleans convinced me that I didn’t need a desktop with the additional power I would get in a new laptop (going from an iBook G4 to anything is a major improvement), I focused on my budget…and stuck to it!
So, here’s my new buddy, a 250GB, 13″ MacBook Pro named Jude.

it doubles as a mirror

One of my favorite features is the built-in camera. Now, if only my friends had cameras too. *sigh*

fun with Photo Booth
