so long, old friend.

I just got back from Best Buy where I received some very unfortunate news... my laptop is dead :( I lent it to my brother a few weeks ago after the laptop he had been using broke (which he was only using because HIS laptop broke in December. I should have seen this coming, right?) and it stopped working a few days ago.

I'm super fortunate to have a desktop mac too, so I'm not totally lost. But it's frustrating and sad, nonetheless. This was my first apple computer, and the one that I used to launch Flapper Doodle and this blog. In fact, 99% of my blog posts were written on this computer. My desktop is primarily where I work on my etsy store, but each night I'd get cozy in bed with some lemon cookies, Hypatia and this laptop and type up my posts for the next day.

Etsy sales permitting, I'll be replacing it pretty soon... but since it was such a big part of this blog and my life, I thought my little laptop deserved a farewell post.

my new imac desktop!

SUPER excited today!! My new imac desktop came in the mail!! Although my show this weekend was a complete bust, it did give me enough money to top off the amount I had been saving for a new computer.

My dad owns a small mail order business, so UPS is at our house delivering something almost every single day. They usually come around 5-6pm, maybe 7pm on days when we're really eager for something to arrive. Well, today they came at 1pm! I was ecstatic! :D Of course, this meant that I spent all day goofing off playing with my new toy instead of getting caught up on the weekend's orders. But it was just this once :)

The monitor is massive! I'm used to working on a 12" screen, and this is 21"!!! It's bigger than my television screen. It'll take a little getting used to, but I'm in love already. Here's some backwards-chronological pictures of my imac being set up.
