Sometimes I really don’t understand why we do things the way we do.  For instance, our family room.  We use TV trays for our laptops probably because they are pretty simple to put away if some unexpected company comes knocking on the door.  We have a bookcase and a tv stand which probably needs to be replaced, but I think I will wait till after I get a Flat screen.

Of course it’s usually a mess but we try our best to clean it up.  In fact tonight when we got back from our Christmas vacation we did some picking up.  And now I’m relaxing in the family room on the laptop typing this post.

For my wife’s birthday a couple weeks ago, I decided to replace her aging old p4 laptop that she has been using for awhile now.  She really needed something new.  Not to mention that every time there was an issue and I had to work on it, the slowness would always kill me.  Most of the laptops these days are pretty decent with the specs they come with, but with Vista I wanted to make sure it would handle the new OS.

So I found a pretty decent Toshiba on sale that was in a pretty good price range for me.  It came with a dual proc cpu and 2 gigs of computer memory, a 160gb hard drive which is a pretty good sized drive, DVD burner, and all the little stuff.

So far she is pretty happy with it and it turned out to be a good birthday!
