Dear Santa

There are only 4 days left until Christmas and I have a short list for Santa that I wanted to share with you all.  I don’t really need much these days.  I’m pretty settled in the clothes department…Anthropologie has made sure of that for sure.  Also, ever since I got my Mac Book Pro last month, I’m pretty content.   The only thing that I really want is a new camera.  I’ve wanted one for over a year now and it’s about time for an upgrade.  The camera that I have now is a digital camera with 5.0 megapixels.  I would love to upgrade my photos on my blog and my personal pictures of my family and friends.  I think that I’ve been a good girl this year, so hopefully Santa will read my list and grant my wish.  Anyways, here are a few things on my wish list (in no specific order):  1) Banana Republic - Gemma Wrap Dress; 2) Incase - Neoprene Sleeve; 3) Banana Republic – Patent Skinny Belt; 4) Canon - EOS Digital Rebel T3; and 5) Coach - Pave Stud Earrings.  Did you create a list for Santa this year?  What’s the number one item on your list?

My New Laptop

I'm back everyone and I have a new computer.  Ever since my Dell computer died last Sunday, I was pretty sure that I was going to get a new computer.  In the last year, my Dell has crashed on me several times.  I have lost so many pictures and documents that I can't even count them all.  Needless to say, I'm beyond annoyed and frustrated.  The people at Dell tried to work on reinstalling Windows on my computer, but the hard drive was compromised.  My only option was to buy a new hard drive or get a new computer.  I thought about the price of buying a new hard drive versus a new computer, but my computer's history of crashes left me pretty certain with my decision.  So, I opted for getting a new computer.  I went to Best Buy last night to price a handful of computers.  I played with several laptops, but I kept making my way back to the Apple section.  I have always wanted to get an Apple laptop, but it didn't make sense to get one as long as my Dell was working.  After talking to the Apple representative, I bit the bullet and bought a MacBook Pro.  I'm really loving it.  I felt like a little girl at Christmas playing with all my new toys.  I'm still trying to figure everything out and learn more about my laptop.  I plan to get back to posting very soon.  I just wanted to give you all an update.  Do any of you have an Apple computer?  Let me know what is your favorite feature.

So Frustrated!

I'm super frustrated today. My computer crashed late Sunday night as I was getting ready to post last Friday's Fresh Picks to Follow. I was in the process of trying to repair the software but my computer is apparently beyond repair. This is the third time this has happened to me while I've had this blog. It stinks because I lose some of my draft posts and tons of pictures. So, I have decided that I'll have to get a new computer ASAP. I will keep you all updated.

Oh Happy Saturday!

Hi ladies - Happy December!  Unfortunately, my computer crashed again right after Thanksgiving, so all of my pictures and pending posts were all erased.  I don’t know what it is with my computer – this is the second time this happened within the past few months.  I admit, my computer is about five (5) year old, so it may be about time to suck it up and buy a new one.  It is also a Dell computer, which in my opinion should say enough.  I’m not bashing the company, but just venting about my experience with this computer – maybe I got a lemon.  Anyways, I just got my computer back and I’m finally up and running again. 

So, yesterday I missed my opportunity to post my Friday “Fresh Picks to Follow” segment, but I figure I can post it late.  I was thinking that with the holidays coming up, it would be appropriate to post holiday gift ideas for the next four (4) weeks.  My posts will list my top 10 gift ideas that will start at $25.00 and increase in increments of $25 by the end of the four weeks.
