Mommy's New Toy

Terry has asked me several times what new thing I wanted. I didn't want any clothes (my clothes seem new now because I was in maternity wear for so long). I don't really collect anything. And I am sort of low maintenance, so I don't absolutely need anything.

This frustrated Terry a little because he wanted to get me something new. Something just for mommy. I'd been spending a lot of time buying stuff for the baby or for the house, but not for myself.

I finally broke down. My Mac was secondhand from my dad and was old and slow. So we spent our tax refund on a new computer for mommy.



Here are the new computer specs for those nerds out there:

• 1GB memory
• 250GB hard drive¹
• 8x DL SuperDrive
• ATI Radeon X1600 graphics

And here is a picture from my brand new iSight.

The funny thing is that Terry probably could have made me just as happy with a new sewing machine. But I guess a new computer is more interesting to the computer geek in him, even if it is an Apple.
