So the real reason I came back to the States was so I could have a baby.
Ha. Just kidding. I think my grandma might have just had a heart attack.
But in all seriousness, I do have a new baby and his name is HP Pavilion. I'd done a lot of computer research and I finally settled on a PC since it was cheaper and had all of the same things I'd liked about the Mac. It is just beautiful.
In other news, I'm heading to Philadelphia today with the fam for a little family reunion with my mom's side of the family and so my brother can go to the hospital so he can be treated for a chronic medical problem. We're trying to make the best of it, and I'm glad I'll get to see my family one last time before I leave.
So...ola, Philly!
Lol!
I liked the first sentence tentative of shocking everybody. I'll use it when needed! ;)

that's so funny, i call my laptop baby too, mine died while i was still in france though, so i had to get a new one, an HP too. the old one was Hamilton (RIP) the new one is Anthony. No one ever seems to realize just how importnant the computer is to a writer. we are dead without it. sniff.

And your dead grandparents also went into a warp speed spin with that opener.
Have fun with HP - and I hope Jon's treatment goes well and that it solves his problem. I'm sure someone will keep us posted.

I wanted a mac but settled for the HP too.
And like Malorie, I name my laptops too!
While I was in high school they assigned everyone a laptop (which was all yours 'till summer) his name was Greg. Now my HP's name is Harry... because of Harry Potter... even though I only read the first book of the series... haha I'll stop rambling now!
