Ha.

I was going to do a print screen so I could paste it in here and you could see what my desktop looked like but I just realized I have no idea where the print screen button is on my new keyboard.

Or the “end” key or the “home” key and it’s driving me a little crazy! Let’s not talk about the no right click thing either.

I am the proud owner of a brand new totally awesome iMac! IT IS AMAZING.

Okay- amazing for the whole 30 minutes I’ve been on it- but hey- that’s a fair amount of time to make such a strong assertion, right?

Oh and why do I feel this intense urge to beg those of you that have a Mac to iChat with me? I don’t know why- but it’s uncontrollable.

I’m sort of getting off track (and looking like a big tech nerd- which we all know I’m most definitely not), but I’m so darn excited about this freaking gigantic 24 inch sleek and sexy screen that I can’t help but want to brag on my new computer.

I’m like the annoyingly proud parent that no one wants to sit by at soccer games because you can never get a word in edgewise. You’re constantly hearing how great Hunter is and how he’s so smart and athletic and talented and so much better than your kid.

Cringe. When I put it like that I realize how ridiculous I’m being. I loathe Mac Snobs.

No more Mac talk.

Actually, I have lots of “real” stuff to talk about! Probably boring for most, nonetheless something I feel l ought to “document” so one day when I’m 30 and old and feeble (ha ha) I have something to look back on to remember how wonderful my 20s were.

You know, because life ends after 29.

You guys know I’m kidding right?

Well, sort of kidding.

Anyway, let’s move on.

My family visited this past weekend! It was so wonderful. I hadn’t seen them since last September so we were long overdue for a visit. It was so nice to get to spend time with them. We didn’t do anything overly exciting, but it didn’t really matter at all because I just wanted to make sure I took advantage of spending time with them while they were here. We ordered Teds to go on Friday and just hung out around the house catching up and relaxing. Saturday was spent at the mall followed by the Cheesecake Factory and house hunting.

I think my sister moving back to the states has hit my parents hard, especially my mom which makes me sad. I think she’s beginning to miss life back in America, so we spent a large portion of the weekend looking at houses and meeting with a realtor- which was so fun for me. I love house hunting and seeing new places and getting ideas for my “forever house.” That’s what I call the house Will and I will build exactly how we want and live in forever one day.  It was fun looking at houses and it seems that perhaps my parents return to the states may be sooner than I had initially thought. I figured they’d be over there several more years, but maybe now it will be less. I guess we shall see.

Sunday was spent eating and house hunting and eating some more. To say it was a weekend of gluttony wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Yesterday my parents told me and Will they wanted to buy us our Christmas present early. They wanted to buy us an iMac! They thought we could use a new computer and not only that, but with a Mac we’d all be able to iChat as a family so that’s fun too. It will be so nice having my sister in the same time zone. I’ll be able to verify that my outfit looks cute via iChat before walking out the door each day.

I took yesterday off and we did more of what we did the rest of the weekend (read: eat and look at houses). It was nice to be off. I made the mistake of checking my work email yesterday afternoon so I then spent too much time worrying about work stuff. Note to self- if you have a day off don’t check your work email!

I said goodbye to my family early this morning. It was sad, but the good thing is that I’m actually going to see them again next weekend! Knowing that made everything much easier.

It was a really great weekend and next weekend is shaping up to be just as good and maybe better.

So that’s what’s been going on in my life lately. I hope all is well with you and you had a great weekend too.

More posting to come (from the iMac!)…
