Unexpected Blessings, financially
Oh, I have so much to blog about, friends. Let’s start with the really good: two very unexpected blessings that I am superhyped about (side note: did you know super- usually doesn’t get hyphenated when creating a compound noun? there’s your fun grammar fact for the day or, your unexpected blessing, if you will. Wow, I am in a good mood.)
Blessing #1: a brand-new, shiny, huge-screen iMac.
Oh. Yeah. It’s an entirely new Internet experience, and I like it. A lot. Right now, I am sitting with the old desktop, set up next to the new iMac, one playing You Tube’s “I’m Yours” video, one with my blog open. I could really get used to this.
Funny thing is, I didn’t even know we were getting one. My dad’s colleague bought the iMac, realized he didn’t want it and sold it to my dad for $750 yesterday. With a new printer. Yeah. So cool. We’ll be giving the desktop computer away to someone my dad knows, but the dual screens are fun for now.
Oh, and did I mention that it comes with inDesign, the full MS Office Suite, Adobe, and oh gosh, I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you my supercool (wink, wink) excitement.
Blessing #2: A brand-new, I-get-to-pick-it-out Blackberry cell phone.
My current phone, the one I bought on eBay, is struggling. Right now, I’m carrying superglue in my purse with me at all times, ready to reapply when needed, to keep the screen plastered to the phone’s body. My own fault for being cheap about it.
So my dad’s company, the one I work part-time for, is buying me a new phone. It’s a tax right-off for them, and, since I don’t take a salary, they really want to. I’m supposed to buy whatever I want, and they’ll reimburse me (my favorite kind of shopping!).
Good. Day.
More later.

It’s nice when the best deals come finding you instead! I’m drooling over your new tech toys–especially that verrrrry handsome iMac, loaded with all that software.
Oh yeah, I have the same iMac! Sexy to the max - enjoy it
Once you go Mac, you’ll never go back. The same goes for having two monitors, but that one doesn’t rhyme.

Exciting news. I love technology! When my Dell lap top bites the dust, I definitely want a Mac.
Awesome! They look really nice!
The closest I’ve gotten to Apple recently was winning an IPOD which I sold immediately after to put money into savings
The Iphone 3G does look tempting though….must resist!
