George + I = BFF
August 24 2009 Posted in: General
Say hello to my little friend.
No, really. Say hello.
His name is George.
I’ve been hinting for one of those colorfully cute mini Dell laptops that have been advertised for awhile now. Maybe one in green, I would think. Instead, J took it upon himself to buy a used (old) iBook for me off eBay.
Toma(y)to. Toma(h)to.
So George is a little slow and outdated, aren’t we all? He also seems to have chubby, deformed fingers and ghostly pale skin. But he’s so nice. He’s shiny, his teeth are straight, he doesn’t smell, and he doesn’t throw back attitude. Most notably, though, I don’t have to share him with anyone. He’s mine, all mine.
Plus, it’s been awhile since I’ve written by the glow of an Apple and I’ve missed it. And did I mention it’s mine? ALL MINE.
In the Dark
August 12 2009 Posted in: Daily Life
This is a normal sight at the end of the evening. After we gather together the obstacle course of toys that accumulate over a day and turn on the boys’ night light. Abby will park herself in the corner of their room and beam subtly, unwilling to budge, as the orange reflection glows on her fresh skin. Peeking in, she’ll let out a squealy laugh and continue on, enjoying the quiet illumination flaring from the walls.
Which reminds me of a joke my parents like to tell:
Where were you when the lights went out?
In the dark! Hahaha! Ha.. ha. Yeah.
