Top Notch


My husband pretty much rules.


When the UPS man showed up at our door on Wednesday, I assumed he was delivering another guitar accessory for the "baby" he is currently obsessed with. When I noticed the size of the box, I knew it was much too large to be holding a new pickguard or pickup.

He then informs me that the box is for me to open. A gift.


It was all I could do to not go into complete hysterics when I folded back the box flaps to see a brand new Gateway laptop staring back at me. I had been secretly eye-balling them since starting school but knew money was too tight to even think about making such a purchase. The husband assures me that he in fact, did not sell his soul to the devil, or participate in any other sort of damning behavior to acquire such a gem. I am trying really hard to believe him. I will admit that at this point, I'm so in love with "Lappy" the laptop, that I myself would be willing to participate in questionable behavior(s) in order to keep him. The direct consequences of a nursing student in desperate need of Wikipedia on the go.

I'm looking forward to my first study session at my favorite coffee shop and I know my fancy notebook will come in handy during finals when I have the option to escape the distractions of my little house and hide at the library only a few blocks away. Freedom=mobile internet devices, and I am taking full advantage of this technological miracle.
