Brave New world
What did I do with my life before I got a laptop. We have had a computer for many years-maybe 13? We have lived back in the Lawrence area for 6 years+ and I played Everquest for 3+ years in Pratt and we had a very low profile ACER for a few years before the Dell came. At least 12 years. A laptop is completely different. It is the mobility, portability (is that the same thing?), it's power-for sure!, I understand it for one. Maybe it is the right thing at the right time in my life. Change is here for sure. Anyway-we got the laptop in the fall-after the wreck? Katie came and set-up my itunes for me. That was an eye-opener. What a gift! Although I still can't find the Kingston Trio Christmas Album. 16 other Kingston Trio albums-but not that. I think it was called '12 Months of the Year'. We kids loved that album. Well-so I bought some itunes-one hurdle jumped. I joined Netflix. Yum. I order alot of bollywood movies esp with Shah Ruhk Khan. So much fun! And I can watch alot of old British comedies and movies instantly on my computer. Katie gave me an older Nikon camera that was refurbished? reconditioned? from Kelsie..last summer. But I lost the battery recharger. I ordered a new one before Christmas. And then I got reinterested in beads this last summer. Katie (again) said 'If you want to make jewelry, you ought to open a site on etsy'. Then she told me all about etsy. and you know what-everything was in place when I had the wreck and quit my job and they did not hire me back. The camera, the laptop, the beads, the etsy knowledge. I started. So now-I take pictures and place them in folders. I created my Etsy shop Gamut. I have a facebook page, I blog, I itune, I play Dragon Age Origins. As well as shop, learn, explore the world. Thank you Laptop.
