Surprisingly this is a positive post, despite the title. I may or may not be MIA for the next few days. I’m on a slight information overload in addition to “new toy excitement” (the kind you get as a 7 year old on christmas morning). Eeek! Here’s the rundown.
Naturally, only hours after I decided to finally start blogging my laptop decides to take a crap on me. As in a complete hard drive failure… yep. Good thing I back up all of our files, not. New years resolution #1. The good news. We planned on purchasing a new desktop within the next year anyways. Yipee! Early late Christmas present for us! The problem, or problems should I say.. We lack an office area in home, we have no desk, we have no office chair, anddd neither of us are familiar with Macs.. Yes. A MAC. Ahh.. I am so in love. Obviously, this is my first. And take a look at this beauty.
Sighh.. Now to figure this puppy out. As for the desk, I fortunately have been window shopping for years. Mainly because I envy everyone out there with a separate office space and a girl just wants to dream. What have I been dreaming of you ask? Clean lines, classic, bright and fresh, and I love me some lacquer. And that leaves me with an easy choice.
The parsons desk from West Elm. We have a very small space, aka corner of our living room, for this so called office area. The parsons is the perfect size, not to mention incredibly adorable. I love her. Now to save up. Until then you will find me sitting on the floor with Mr. Mac on a box. Ha.

Welcome to the MAC world. We are so glad you joined us.
When you bought it did they mention the one-to-one classes? You purchase it for a year for I think it’s $50 and go in once a week. They’ll train you on whatever it is you want training for.
(I’m assuming you went to a store and not online)
Have fun.
No they definitely did not mention that in the store. I’ll have to check it our for sure
That’d come in handy right about now.
