Planet Wilder

I have this bad habit of eating in the middle of the night. This was one of them – just quickie fried rice (I’d later garnish with green onions and slices of tomatoes… in the summer time when we have some from the garden I’d add cucumbers). I was working on something on the computer that night. I know that one day this is going to catch up to me but for now I really don’t care because I still have my wonderful metabolism, I need the calories cause I’m still nursing, and I do work out every other day with the P90X. I quit doing it everyday because I couldn’t keep up with the eating… it effected my ability to make enough milk for Jovie.

Of course after you get a new computer you install all if not most of your apps soon after. I really don’t need Microsoft Office but since we got it from hubby’s work for $20 (home use program), why not. The apps I do need are: Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver (it’s nice to work in education, education prices are so much less for Adobe products). I use the other apps in the CS4 Adobe Suite but not as much as the ones I mentioned. I purchased my laptop from B&H. It was cheaper for me than buying from Apple, even with the student discount, due to tax. Also, B&H included Parallel with the purchase. Not bad!

I am now up and running again. Goodness, you never know how good you’ve got it in terms of technology until all your computers break down on the same week! My iMac is ok again. I need to pick it up from the Apple store.

Savitri doesn’t have a laptop. The one she uses is work’s. So after plugging in some numbers into Turbotax I figured that I have enough refund to get me a new one. After looking, pondering, looking, pondering, looking, pondering… you get the picture… I finally went and got the fastest 13″ laptop that Apple has to offer right now. I was flip-flopping between this and the 15″ but after visiting the Apple store a few times and thinking about all the stuff I’d be carrying I opted for the 13″. I have a desktop already and I do want something light to travel with. I would have gone with a netbook if it had more memory but due to my needs for power I went ahead and paid a little bit more.

I’ve been using my old Dell from work since last Friday. All my computers broke. The iMac completely died and my newer work laptop randomly turns on and even when it’s on you never know when it’ll freeze up. While this Dell does what it needs to do it’s amazing that what I thought was so fast and great years ago is so slow and lacking a lot of power.

My iMac and laptop is being fixed. Hopefully I can get one of them back soon. In the meantime, it’s me and this dinosaur.

I think I’m going to try and scrapbook every weekend. Those who knows me and my craziness for papercrafting/scrapbooking probably think I already do this regularly but I actually don’t. I get on spurts and I get behind. This one is my latest. So far I’ve been scrapbooking every weekend for the last two weeks!

I’m noticing that I’ve been doing better at sticking to my goals. I am still doing Project 365. Doing P90x when I can but so far it’s been consistent (although lately Jovie’s been waking up at 11p again), and hopefully this scrappy weekend.
