Blech!

The iPod is plugged in, I've gotten a couple new stamps on Wii SPorts Resort, I'm blogging. But, dude, do I ever feel like blech! I think it's because my lap top has bitten the dust. I loved that thing. I used it every day for school this year. Our history curriculum and some of our science is on disc. It has all my iTunes stuff on it and the boy's Zune stuff for his MP3. I just spent two hours waiting for various programs to load and waiting for Norton to not uninstall so I could load a McAfee.

I am not a patient person. People question that when I say it, but it's true. How do you home school your kids if you have no patience? I have patience with my kids, I just don't have any with technology. If you tell me your computer is super fast and efficient, I expect to be able to turn it on and go. I don't want to wait. Push button, and go. I want it to do what I want it to do when I want it to do it.

And what's with people creating viruses so they can crash other people's computers? Really? You don't have anything better to do? You can't take those programming powers and find a cure for cancer? Or come up with some program to eliminate genetic diseases that are rare and deadly? You have to use your abilities to piss other people off and make them not like you very much? You are wasting your talent and are useless. Yeah, go ahead, crash my shit. Wouldn't be the first time, you big loser! Now that I've gotten that off my chest.

Now we wait for the tax refund. We have two accounts that are getting paid off and a lap top to buy. Whatever's left will go in the vacation fund. I really wanted to take that lap top money and buy the four day pass to Disney. Oh, well. At least we get something cool out of it. We'll start looking around to see what deals we can find. I'm not a bells and whistle kind of gal, so I don't need a ton of stuff. Of course, bells and whistles are nice to have if it comes with.

Anybody have a lap top they like? Or know of a good one? We saw a neat little Toshiba at Office Depot last night. The problem is that I'm used to a big honkin' screen and this one had a little screen. That would take some getting used to, but the price was within our range. I could get used to it. As long as it works well and will keep up with us. Wish me luck!
