update

So, my new computer arrived today and all I can say is OH. MY GOD.

Sister didn't know just how awesome an iMac would be. But it is.

I had been looking around for a new computer for a few months and decided to take last week's break-in as an opportunity to give the finger to the old standbys. This thing is a friggin' Ferrari.

I am still trying to learn my way around it, but it was love at first sight and I can't stop playing with it. One unfortunate thing, this new computer shows my blog site in a different light. The green on my site is odd. It is in no way the color that I chose when I was developing my template on my old laptop. I imagine it must show up differently on different screens. I'm not digging it.

Thank you to all who left such kind comments. You all are a wonderful group of people. I need to think up a good word to describe my Blogger friends...

Froggers? (friends + bloggers)

Blends? (bloggers + friends)

Be back soon.

Stay sober. Stay sane.

Kristin, I am SO JEALOUS! My Lap is four years old now, and so I'm 'looking'. NOTE: I usually 'look' for a couple years--
then one fine day,
just 'click' and away!

iMac looks SO good, after 21 years of M$...DOS to VISTA.

A happy death for me, if it happened while I was playing with and configuring a new computer.

The BEST year is the NEXT year, K!
PEACE!
An Old Frogger....

frogger blends :oD lol

I've been looking at iMacs for a while, but I'm still just hanging PC style for a while

Glad stuff is balancing out after the break in. Lets call it a break-out now since you get to find some new as a result

Glad you're back in business! And with such an awesome toy!

Great to see you turn the frown upside down - and don't we all need a new bit of digital tech - especially since we all actually write such meaningful stuff!
Have a Great New Year!

Once you go Mac you'll never look back--that's my line of poetry for the day. Good for you, Kristin. Thanks for being consistently around as a good Flogger in 2011. Let's continue in the New Year, okay? I'm going to go rev up my Ferrari now.

When one door closes another one opens, funny how that works. Glad you like your new toy.

Happy New Year to you and hope it is a good one filled with love, laughter and sobriety!!

Love and hugs from Nebraska

I wish I knew how to reach you other than through this comment box, because I want to say, Girl, you are a true Blend to me (mucho better than a Frogger), a light shining in the sometimes dusky world who always brings a smile to my heart. May the 11th step prayer bring you some comfort tonight, because you have surely comforted me with your friendship through the blogosphere. May you smile this evening as you say goodbye a sometimes hard year, then go to bed sober and hopeful for what lies on the horizon for you. I love you, Girl.

Oh Geez..another Mac head! Actually, I'm jealous;)

This is going to be your year, and it's about time.

Sober Julie said...

I'm so glad that you got a ray of sunshine!!!
Let me know how you feel about it in a few months, I've been saving for one and would love your feedback.

Patty said...

Hi K, So sorry I have been absent and did not know about your break in. SCUM!
Glad you love your new puter.
Froggerly Yours,
Patty :)
Happy New Year!!!!!

New computers sure are nice. Sounds like you made a wise choice. Isn't it interesting when you upgrade a MAC display how incredible it is! I hope things are going well and the thief didn't get away with too much.

Sorry for the late arrival, Kristin. I've been tied up with family and holiday stuff. I'm so glad you were able to get a computer so quickly -- and such a nice one at that. My daughter got a Mac for art school and she is seriously in love with it.

Best wishes for a great New Year!
