Happy Birthday to me
For my birthday I've decided to give myself time. Time to write a blog. Anytime I feel inclined to write something on my much overlooked (by me) blog I think, "But, I have so many other things that I really SHOULD be doing!" Then I do that other thing, and by the time I have a moment to sit and write- I'm tired or out of the mood, or can't remember what I wanted to write about any way.
In order to try to facilitate my new gift of time to myself- I've asked for a new netbook. However, it seems netbooks have gone the way of the dinosaurs- I am currently writing on a net book I bought in 2008 or 9 ?! I don't really know. Since then I've had two or three computers, a tablet or two and a variety of smart phones, but none of them give me the ease of typing, researching, portability and comfort of a little computer.
I told my techie husban
d I wanted a netbook. He said, "There's no such thing"- translated- there's no such thing worth buying. I said, "What about a chromebook?" He said, they were interesting in concept but flawed in execution. I said, "How about a budget laptop?" He said, "Not worth it." I was losing hope for my writing 'career' when he said, "What you want is an ultrabook."
I do? Yes, of course. (I'm pretty easy to convince.) I want an ultra book. I want an expensive gadget. I want a computer that is light, but doesn't have the cramped keyboard that I am currently fighting with. It should run Windows and have enough power and memory to keep me happy for the next 5 years. It should have a long battery life and a sleek design. All of those things will help me write. :)
My gift of time is about finished for now- but I hope to continue to gift myself. I have a list of possible topics to address.
Here's to the next year of Shannon
