I’ve decided I want a Mac.
A Mac laptop or I think they are called Mac notebooks. Talk about not being cool enough for a Mac, but I am hoping it will accept me into its circle of hipsters and it won’t make fun of me as I pull up to the Internet cafe in my mom-mobile.
There is also a boatload of software I’d like to buy. I was thinking at 4:30 this morning during a baby feeding and a few hours after getting beat down by my parents over the kids and just generally having an incredibly shitty day that I want to do something for me that doesn’t involve the kids, the baby, or anyone else but me.
What’s that, you say? Take a trip? Get away from it all? Logistical nightmare. Three kids, two or three houses for drop kicking over the fence post, and one of those houses is more than 300 miles north of mine. Plus, who knows when I’ll ever get another vacation request approved at my job. No trip.
How about a day spa? I’m not really a day spa kind of gal, although I admit I’d love to be treated to one for Mother’s Day as a thank you for some extra heavy lifting. I’m doing a lot of work over here, and I’m only admitting that for the first time as of 4:30 this morning after years of martyrdom. No spa.
A new fully loaded Mac book it is! I totally want Flo, the girl from the Progressive Insurance commercials, to be my genius at the Apple store, and I’d like every single piece of graphics software that Adobe can ship overnight to my house. It’s bad luck to put impulse just for me items on a credit card, so I’ll have to save for them. It’s not hypomania if you plan it out.
I should be feeling groovy by sometime in October. The countdown begins…
I am such the mac enthusiast that I applaud your desire. (can’t the dads pitch in? I mean, c’mon, it’s the least they can do!)
Eh, it’ll be fun to save up and buy it all by myself. This is supposed to involve no one but me. I didn’t know you were a Mac person!
I got my first Mac in 1985, which means I’ve been a Mac person longer than most people on the internet have been alive!
My first home computer was an Apple IIe and I’ve only owned one PC in my life. You’ll absolutely LOVE being a Mac person, they’re the best. And mad props to the Adobe! (I’ve got CS 3.3, but still don’t know how to use it. . .)
Yay, Mac! Woot woot woot!
Boo, judgmental parents! Boo boo boo!
