You'd never have guessed that the Amazing New Addition to our living space is sitting pretty on MEL'S DESK!!! It was ever so ... cluttered and ... filthy just this morning!
All it took was the doorbell and my shout of excitement "MEL DID YOU ORDER AN IMAC?!!"
and ... UP Mel jumped, out of bed (at noon, mind you) and straight to the living room where I had to put my foot down and make sure we had her desk cleaned out before we could put this beauty on it!
EVERYONE WALKED INTO THE HOME, TOOK ONE GLANCE (EYES WIDENING), AND RAN TOWARDS IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T THEIR IMAGINATION.
"OH MY GOD" the kids shouted without fail, upon laying eyes on it. Aww kids.
WE WERE ALL TAKEN BY SURPRISE!
What a shocker! The screen's ever so big! We had all gotten used to the teensy screens on our laptops... and after all the trouble with Nick's laptop and the ol' Vaio (served us well, ol' dame!)... this is DEFINITELY a welcome treat!
Check out Nick and me... had to feed him his spaghetti-and-meatballs just cos he was so keen on getting his hands on the magic keyboard and magic mouse (that's really what they're called! cos they're wireless, i think. they run on batteries and that's pretty cool...)One of these days I must do a post about my secretary days... livin' it up and playing boss around the office, being treated like a princess ;) and my MANY TYPEWRITERS!!! If iMacs had been around, I'D HAVE HAD ONE! I always had the latest typewriter! I still have one, and Kim's prettied it up with her signature peony flower embellishments!
I'll post that once she gets home with that iPhone to take a picture! Oh, we're such Apple freaks now. Trouble is, how can I tell these kids to get down to work when I can't pull myself away from this pretty pretty thing! Haha, take a queue number, kiddos, your momma's gonna have her go at the computer first ;) Momma's privilege!
"You guys had better keep the keys white!" I warned.
Previous encounters and a recent unfortunate incident involving water and a certain mobile device have left me with enough experience to foresee any potential stains, damage, or fuss. The kids know they're never gonna get away with any fusses around here!
Anyway... OHHH THESE KEYSS... THE HUGE SCREEN... THE SOUND SYSTEM...
Caressing the white keys
