I Am Feeling a Little Spoiled...


I have a new love. Her name is Truvy. She is my laptop.

I have been wanting a laptop for a long time. Mr. Clean has always had one supplied to him by his company. I sit and drool while watching him on it as I sit at my desktop. I know; "woe is me".

As a homeschooler I dream of vacations to exotic locales with my trusty laptop by my side to educate my children and pull up curriculum all while sipping a drink with an umbrella in it. That did not sell Mr. Clean on my need.

I started to whine that it was kind of difficult, as our curriculum is web-based, to jump up and down constantly from my desktop computer to the table where the kids are doing their workbook portion of the lesson. Nope, this did not work either.

And then it happened...

The day Mr. Clean was my substitute teacher. And he used my desktop to accomplish this task. He immediately agreed I had a true case. I ordered her on Thursday afternoon and she arrived ready to go on Friday. Just as Spring Break is coming to a close and a new school week is looming ahead.

So she is here. All shiny and new and fast. Oh, so fast! So I decided she should be called Truvy, because she is all lacquered up. I have never seen such a shiny laptop, keys included, but I like it nonetheless. Let me know if you can make the connection to the name! If I wasn't broke from buying a laptop, I would treat you to a coffee or the like if you get it right. But you will have the satisfaction of knowing, you rule.

Haven't figured out the name yet (still working on it), but CONGRATS on your new "baby!" And I expect to see loads of new blog entries as your fingers fly off the shiny new keys!! LOL! 'Cuz don't new laptops give you "super energy" like new sneakers did when you were a kid? If only they gave us more time, too! *wink-grin*

ENJOY!!

P.S. I won't type the exact name here....because I don't want to spoil it for other readers...but is it some to do with a character of that name in a movie we once watched and enjoyed, the title of which begins with the letters "S" and "M?" ;-)
