I got a surprise

[alliecat8]

Well...I'd resigned myself to not taking a computer to Ireland and Scotland and not being able to keep up with the luau...but something got into my husband (I think it's that thing about men and their toys) and he bought me a Netbook. It weighs 2 lbs. so I can carry it on the plane, YAY!!! (I like to write while I'm flying, takes my mind off what I'm really doing, eeeeek). Here it is:







It's not here yet but I already named it Vincent, 1) after our hero-dog on Lost, and 2) after the crazy genius who painted the picture on the "skin," Vincent Van Gogh. It cost $175 and I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing.

Also I don't know why I'm posting this late on a Sunday night; everyone's asleep. I'm hyper, though. Maybe I should be getting ready for the trip instead of playing on LJ. Nite!

Breaking my hiatus to say: that is gorgeous. I am currently making grabby hands at it.

*back into the cave*

Gorgeous! It's silly that I'm jealous.

Oh, Allie, it's gorgeous! And even at the exchange rate, that's a wonderful price - it would easily cost double that here! YAY for the skin, YAY for the name and double yay for being able to keep up with us! *hugs tightly*

Oh, yay! I think being able to participate in the Luau is a always good thing, as is Van Gogh. Just don't spend every minute in it! ;)

Excellent!!!
See? It looks like you're following my advice regarding the battle with ryanair :DDD

I really love it, I love the skin, I love Vincent (both van Gogh and the dog ;))
And although I am not really an expert, the price sounds nice too ^_^

That is SO excellent! That's my favorite painting! :D

Gah, I think all of my luau gifts are going to be late as well. *sigh* Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right? And I guess it lets the queens' glory extend some extra days too ;)

Hello from Africa!

Dude, I brought a computer with me the first time and it saved me. Now I'm just using internet cafes, and it's much harder to stay in touch.

Still... I hope your trip goes AWESOME!
