Just a little over 2 years ago, I lost my iBook forever in an accident involving my husband and a bathroom. I will not disclose these events any further on the Internet, but suffice it to say that I have been miserable technology-wise ever since. I have been using my hubby’s G5, but I have never felt like it was truly mine and I was tied down to always being in our office whenever doing anything Internet-related (AKA: basically all day/night).

Thankfully, the hubs signed up to do some sidework and surprised me with something fabulous! A 13-inch Macbook!!! I am so beyond thrilled!!!! Finally, a computer to call my own! I plan on buying a pink hard case protector from Speck as soon as I can to make it Melificent approved and can’t wait to import all my music, customize my icons & wallpaper and start bookmarking all my favorite spots on the web. It’ll also come in handy while I’m in San Diego for Comic-Con as I’ll be able to dump all my photos daily and possibly (if we have wifi at the hotel & I have any sort of free time) be able to upload and make posts while I’m there!

And while I’m speaking of photos, my hubs decided to upgrade to a Canon 5D, leaving me in possession of his “old” Canon 40D! I am so excited! I had wanted my own SLR for some time now but we couldn’t justify spending the extra money. Now I’ll be able to score some quality shots while on vacation and possibly become a second shooter for the hubs eventually. All I need is to get some lenses, but those can wait considering they can be pretty costly. If any of you have recommendations as to where I could find some for reduced prices, I’m all ears

So it looks like my birthday came a little early this year! Two pretties for the price of one!
Squee!
