I’ve been writing my posts for over a year. Well over a year actually.

I started my blog in October, buy by then I’d saved my Facebook posts into a word document and then copy and pasted them in the blog once I started it.

For the longest time I wrote all of my posts on my I-phone. It was tedious, but fine and it was just the fun of it.  

Sometime around Memorial Day I finally pulled my lap top out and started writing my posts on my laptop in a word document and then transferring them to FB and my blog. I was set up in the dining room and was there for about 6 weeks.  

Sometime around 6 or 8 weeks ago I finally cleared my desk off in my office and moved my laptop in there. I have loved it. I come in at night, do my chores, grab the cocktail Adam has left for me in the fridge and I plant myself in front of the computer.  

I have a my routine down now.

There are about 10 or sites I check before I open a blank page and start to write.  

Depending on how tired I am, and how late it is, I might write one post. I might write 7.  

The only catch to all of this is that my laptop is 10 years old. I bought for a big design project that landed in my lap right after we moved to Portland. It was big and bulky and powerful.  

And wouldn’t you know it, 5 minutes after the project started, it ended…long story.  

I was left with a laptop I didn’t need.

But it has come in handy. Until this job, I’ve needed it at every restaurant I’ve worked at. My current boss was nice enough to give me a MacBook about 6 weeks after I started.  

My laptop has been a champ at spreadsheets, and manuals, and letters of recommendation, and Facebook and all the things.

But it is SLOW as fucking Christmas.  

And the fan runs constantly.

So I have to keep it unplugged. And when I do get home it sometimes takes 15 minutes just to wake up.  

I might have had a little tantrum about a month ago…and asked Adam if it would be okay to get a new computer.  

This might have led to a teeny, tiny argument. But finally he said yes.

And so, two weeks ago I ordered a new apple desktop.

And it arrived today.  

And it’s pretty. And blue. And fast!!!

And I’ve been setting it up for the last 2 hours and it’s 3:a.m. but I’m very happy.
