Oh, hi. The last two posts (some of my photography & a recipe for chocolate chip dip) were scheduled in advance, so I feel like I haven’t been here in a while. If I were at home, I wouldn’t be here right now because I received my macbook on Friday. I’m kind of in love, I won’t lie, and I’ve been spending almost every free moment playing with it. (I’m at work right now, so the macbook is far, far away from my fingertips. Oh, that beautiful keyboard…)
I’ve loved everything about it so far. I did have a little problem with the Internet randomly shutting off while I was on it, but I installed Mozilla Firefox, and ever since then, it has been fine. (Could it have been Safari?)
My favorite thing about my new computer, though? Photobooth. It’s fun!
Hello, from Photobooth. Why, yes. I am wearing a small amount of makeup.

Last Thursday, I was able to finally make it down to my school’s main campus (which is an hour from where I live) to get my financial aid check. By Friday morning, the check was in the bank, and by Friday afternoon, I had ordered something that I’ve wanted for a long time.
Hello, lovely. I opted for a 320gb HD with 4gb RAM. Not only that, but I’m getting iWork pre-installed as well as Microsoft Office 2008. I’ve never used a Mac before, so I’m looking forward to learning.
My computer is “prepared for shipment” at the moment, so I’m expecting it to arrive in a few days. Any advice from Mac users?

I miss this blog. I miss wanting to write. Well, I still do want to write, but I’m having trouble of coming up with anything aside from work or school things. However, I have some ideas floating around. (One involving my film camera + the town I live in, but that’s all I’m giving away.)
This weekend, Husband and I are taking a mini-vacation (before classes begin next week) with my in-laws. We’ll be heading to Gatlinburg, which is just less than three hours from where I live. We’re leaving Friday afternoon with a return home Sunday evening. I’m looking forward to it. The last “vacation” we had was our honeymoon last year, so this is needed. I’m looking forward to staying in the cozy cabin and skipping across rocks at the creek. (I might be lugging my film camera with me for this; while I’d choose film over digital any day, I really wish I could afford that Nikon D5000. Sigh.)
This is completely off-topic, but I have a question for all of you tech savvy people. Basically, I’m going to be purchasing a new laptop soon. I’ve had my Dell since my senior year of high school, and I’ve never had problems with it … but I’m itching for some new/upgraded technology, especially since I’m taking online classes this semester. I’m just unsure of whether I should buy another Dell or go for a Macbook. I’ve always wanted a Mac (I love the design, especially), but Dell has been great for me the past few years. What do you think? I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons, so I’d love feedback of any kind (especially if you’ve used both).
Just a sneak peek of where we’ll be staying this weekend.

Once I save up ~$900, I’m buying this baby:
Nikon D5000.
In the meantime, I’ll be playing with this:
LG EnV Touch.
