"A Wink and a Smile"

Sometimes this rectangular piece of equipment drives me nuts. Like when the same Disney shows are shown over and over again. A mom like me can get tired of watching Hannah Montana get a speeding ticket ... ugh. Sometimes I think I hear beeps, chirps, and other various sounds in my sleep. During the daytime hours, those sounds most likely come from the handy dandy 24/7 mini-computer/phone/ texting device. I remember when I didn't own one, or didn't hardly use it except for emergencies ;) Sometimes this magnetic screen sucks me and other family members into it for countless hours (over the course of a day). The lovely machine with an apple on it is oh so delicious. However, one can devour it for all of its entertaining value, and never really fill up. CURSE that APPLE! The machines (today's technology) are awesome. They entertain, they connect you with the world, and they provide information.

You Are a Mac You are creative, stylish, and super trendy. You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg. Are You a Mac or a PC? We already have one Mac, but our old (ancient) PC that the girls use is barely functioning. This Christmas will likely bring another Mac under the tree . If you wondered how much my husband loves (anything) APPLE you wouldn't have to think too hard ... (an email from the hubby) Busy busy... Ive been in mtgs since 5am...
