Happy (early) Christmas!!

It's definitely been a few moons since I've last showed my face on here. My whole "let's blog more" can-do attitude crashed and burned horribly. Oh well. I've been busy. What can I say. It's harder to blog when you're working 40+ hours a week in a high stress & physically challenging environment. My weekends are now dedicated to sleeping in (heaven) and catching up on much needed tv time (horrible habit). So instead of using my weekends wisely and doing something productive, I'm usually found sprawled out on the couch inhaling the dramas of the Kardashian sisters. Shameful, I know. But anyway, enough of my nonexistent life. So as my post title so beautifully exclaimed, happy early Christmas to me!!!

Usually I'm pretty clueless about what I want. I think the only thing I sort of asked for was a Kindle. Which is dumb because I already have a Nook, but hey, when you're scrapping at the bottom of the barrel for ANY KIND of a gift idea then that's what you come up with. I didn't expect much. We put a $100 budget on gifts this year so you can't really expect too much from that. HOWEVER, the other night, the hubby came out with this gem:



I was blown away. I've never had a present this size before. So you can only imagine how excited I was. Christmas day was coming up. Crazy thing though, the hubby INSISTED that I open my gift early. Something about "if I didn't like it we could return it so it's better to open it now rather than to wait" kind of thing. He actually had to do a lot of coaxing to get me to open the gift. I have a lot of self-control when it comes to presents. My goodie-two-shoe attitude makes Santa proud every year. BUT, I caved. His constant nagging & insistence for a whole friggin' day finally got to me. SO....


:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


Best present EVER!! My old Mac is more than a few years old. I couldn't even update my iPhone software because the computer was so old that I couldn't update my iTunes to update the iPhone (talk about your all time biggest headaches). But now, I sit here in front of this giant, and I do mean GIANT screen happily typing away and enjoying the perks of being all up-to-date with my computer.

Thanks for welcoming me into the new era, Mac. The grass is greener on this side of the fence, fo sho.
