She’s here! She’s here!!

My new laptop arrived today. I’m so excited!! She’s red and beautiful and so shiny and hasn’t had a single drop of juice spilled on her yet. *sigh* I’m so excited. Oh, and since she’s part of Dell’s (PRODUCT)red participation, she’s even helping Africans with AIDS. How cool is that?

I know within a week or so all that will change. Well, hopefully she’ll still be red, but the dust will start to gather and little fingerprints will likely mar her now reflective screen. And that’s okay. I don’t mind, and I know I won’t mind then when it happens. Mothers perpetually sacrifice and I’m really totally good with that! Today, anyway. Tomorrow might find me in a different, much more stressed mood, but today shines on me as I want to be. I’m perfectly content. I’ve been patient and happy. I’ve maintained a proper perspective all day. I haven’t lost my temper even once! I’ve been flexible and … well, and now I have a new laptop, so life is pretty good.

Just wanted to stop by to say “hey!” to all you bloggy-friends in the great abyss of space and time. I’m off to finish setting up my new friend. I’ve not decided yet what to name her. It feels a betrayal to name her Ruthie so soon after the death of the first. Also, Ruthie may be hanging around for a while. Rick is hoping he can swap out some parts toward another resurrection. We’ll see what my brilliant man can do. I have no doubt he’ll make her live again. He’s amazing.

All right. I’m off. Happy Wednesday to you all!
