As many of you know, I’ve been slowly but surely
transitioning to getting an Apple laptop (or at least that’s what I tell
myself) for some reason my laptop no longer works properly. I’ve had it for probably
3-4 years… Let’s rewind a little; I purchased the laptop as a gift to myself
for Grad school. At first I rarely ever used it. I primarily would use it for
assignments etc. This was pre-blogger days. So I would allow the kids, family
and friends to play games on it download stuff etc... For some reason, within
the past year or so my computer has gone from working fine to just acting wacky.
Up until our last day together I was unable to open any of my Word documents. We
brought the computer to our Tech guy, and it still would not open up my Microsoft
Suite. *sigh* to be honest I really gave up on this computer and wanted to
start over. Even though I have my iPad, I still use my laptop for pretty much
everything. So fast forward to now, my step daughter has been asking for a
laptop for a couple of years now. With her being fifteen it is pretty much
essential for school etc. So the Mr. and I decided that we would get it for her
for Christmas, and low and behold we called her on Christmas morning and she received
a laptop as a Christmas gift…Me being me, I was beyond ecstatic, we got the
computer for a really good price, and I just could not come to terms with
returning it. To be honest, I was hoping that she got the computer as a gift (I
asked the Mister to confirm, she has a tendency to request the same gifts)… At
her age, there is really nothing else that she would’ve wanted besides an iPad.
So YES!! I have a new laptop **insert happy
dance**
Have you ever purchased a gift for someone, and really
wanted it for yourself?
Thank You For Stopping By!
