Congrats, Em! Anything that makes you this happy has gotta be worth it (though I've personally resisted Apple products at every turn). So you keep right on doing your happy dance, girl!

I will be happy dancing all the way into next week!

However the rest of that list sounds to me like you have no idea how to use a Mac. Or Keith.

Shouldn't you be re-booting Kevin?

Rotfl.. ok, ya, I think I might have to ban myself for that one..

I like my computers like I like my men... Pretty AND willing to cut their left arm off for me.

Mac and Keith are both. :heart: :lmao:

Cause the THING is...

Keith is my first and only boyfriend.

I had plenty of crushes, but he was my first and only boyfriend... and then I married him.

HOWEVER... back in high school... I had a best friend, and he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to me, and would do anything for me. He took me to 2 proms and a homecoming, and our families were CONVINCED we were going to get married. I kept telling my mother we weren't.

He asked me out 4 times, and I said no 4 times. It was weird for me, because I had a crush on his personality... and how he treated me... but when it got down to brass tacks, I couldn't envision myself *kissing* him, let alone anything else.

I wasn't physically attracted to him.

Not even a little.

And I TRIED... because I liked the idea of marrying my best high school friend, who treated me better than I could ever ask for... but I just couldn't.

So I waited to date anyone, despite attempts from boys or my own personal crushes that I knew would be bad news for me, until I met Keith. And Keith is pretty, AND would do anything for me, haha.

The first guy was like my PC... except I made the mistake of courting my PC, rather than waiting for the Mac, because I initially thought, like Keith, that the Mac was out of my league.

So I went with PC, and it was my best friend at the time. It wasn't attractive, but it treated me well.

Until it didn't.

And then no matter what I did, it just continued to getting slower and less attractive (because of the viruses and having to reformat my drive every 6 months or so).

Then comes along the Mac... who was beautiful AND did everything I wanted it to do.

It was a match made in heaven... and it was then that I realized that I should have never settled for PC (like I didn't settle for my friend) and I should have gone straight to the Mac in the first place (like I went for Keith), because it turns out it WASN'T out of my league and exactly what I wanted in a computer.

So I married that Mac.

Like I married Keith.

(Did I make that analogy work? I mean that's the best I could do man... it was pretty weak to begin with. )

You need to send this to Apple as an ad or to SNL as a skit! This is a great 'analogy'

My bag got here before my laptop:



I'm stoked it came in, but now I'm REALLY impatient for the MBP.

And I'm home sick, so I'm just sitting on the couch hitting refresh over and over on my Apple account order page. :lmao:

Is that the "I'm home sick, no really I am seriously sick here!" or the "I'm home and, well I sort of have a couh -- oh postman is here wait a sec!"

It's "I'm home sick, no really I am seriously sick here!"

My MBP is getting delivered to the store... I seriously considered going INTO WORK, even though I feel like crap JUST BECAUSE, "What if it arrives today? ...AND I'M NOT THERE TO GET IT?!",

But I ultimately decided, that waiting around for my computer at work, while dying in front of customers wasn't a wise idea. Especially since it's mostly wishful thinking that it'll come today (My money is on tomorrow, but the promised date is Friday...).

Besides... My best friend is working today, so if it comes, I'll just make him sign off on it for me and bring it home, and I'll get it from him. His house is a much shorter drive than the mall, so I'm pretty sure I can convince my husband with enough whining to go pick it up from my friend's house.

No, in Em's defense on this one, that is the typical March/April Tennessee Spring Fever. Not a typical Spring Fever, where it's warm and beautiful and you need to skip work and play. No, this Spring Fever is coughing, itchy eyes, mucus so bad it could strangle a horse, scratchy throat, general malaise brought on by one too many days where the temperature goes from 70 to 30 within hours, and there is sunshine one minute, rain five minutes later, then sun again and an hour later, you're smack in the middle of snowstorm, followed by more sun then a thunderstorm and hail the size of marbles. (Edit: We've actually had ALL of that, except the hail, at some point since Sunday afternoon…)

Welcome to Tennessee, e.rose!!
I've had the same thing for nearly two weeks now, culminating in completely losing my voice on Sunday. I can talk a little again now, though I sound like a frog with a horse in its throat, or a horse with a frog in its throat…and I can't sing AT ALL (not that I could anyway, lol) unless maybe I switch to singing bass.

Yeah, it started a few days ago, but it was mostly sinus pressure and stuffy nose... which is typical for me on a good day sans allergies. So I ignored it.

Yesterday, while I was driving my friend around to shop for a new car, I noticed my headache was more than usual and the sinus thing was becoming overbearing and around 7:30pm while we were at Small Group, I realized I was declining fast, and starting to die...

I woke up this morning and felt like death... laid in bed for 15 minutes weighing the pros/cons of going into work anyway and decided against it.

Then I got to witness snow... then sun... then snow... then sun... then BLIZZARD-like snow... then sun... the blizzard-like sleet, that made the whole ground white... then sun, that turned the grown back to greenish/brown again... then snow... then... sun... now it's cloudy............... so I'm guessing it's going to start snowing again shortly.

:banghead:

The weather is crazy... The people are surprisingly normal.

My friends from where I last lived in Pa... now THEY... They, were psychotic.

My friends here are pretty stable for the most part.
