I have to tell you about my dying laptop. It’s grey and very old. In its youth it was a real champ. Then about a year ago it started to disambiguate. First its performance became a little weary. Freezing up and having to restart became a daily event. Then the plastic pieces on the exterior came off like a child loosing its baby teeth. Except no “adult teeth” grew back. The clasp to open the laptop became loose and eventually no longer held closed. It would flap around like a walrus clapping its fins, “ARF, ARF”. The poor hinges are the worst and the reason a new laptop is on order. Opening and closing for the past few years has made a popping noise. The screen sort of lost its will to hold itself up. At that point I diagnosed it with a broken neck. Then a screw fell out and a metal piece in tow. The screen completely detached itself from the bottom part of the laptop. I’m really sad to see such a trust machine go, but alas it’s time. How many more days until my new laptop arrives? Have you ever encountered a faulty computer or laptop?
XOXO,

Tonight we made some pizza. Well not we, I made some pizzas. I made them even though the crust was already made. Thanks, Boboli!
Mmmmmmm, let’s call this one Meaty Goodness. Pepperoni, Salami and Sausage. 
Okay, hold your hats for this one, folks. BBQ Chicken Pizza!
Smoky gouda mixed with mozzarella cheeses over a layer of BBQ sauce. Then topped with plenty of grilled chicken, red onions and cilantro. YUM!!!!!!!!
Now I’m going to make some hot chocolate for dessert.

With so much extra time on my hands over the holidays, I’ve managed to watch so many movies in the last month.
Julie and Julia – still working on this one, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
Avatar – I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. I packed my earplugs because I was sure I was going to fall asleep from boredom. Boy was I wrong. This move is A M A Z I N G!
Dear Zachary: A letter to a son from his father – OMG! This is such a sad movie. Be prepared to be emotionally exhausted when the movie is over. Ugh…
District 9 – Eehhh, no thanks.
Then She Found Me - Me thinks not. Way boring don’t waste your time.
Slumdog Millionaire – A fantastic, yet tragic story. I can”t believe it took me so long to see this one.
Seen any good movies lately?

Someday I’m going to move to my dream home and I’m going to have this table for my dining room. I love the modern lines paired with rugged, weathered wood.
Table can be purchased here.
What would you put in your dream home?

Yesterday I saw a blimp. It reminded me of my butt. Then after looking at what the blimp was advertising (dental insurance) I thought about my teeth. Which brought me to the conclusion that my new year’s resolution is to have no dental fillings or crowns this year. I will floss, I will brush, I will have no cavities in 2010.
Do you have a butt the size of a blimp too? What are your new year’s resolutions?
