I haven't ever had a laptop in my life. Not ever!!! During my high school and college in the states I either use the Clarks' computer, the Blands' computer and on occation the Roesners' and the Leiners' computers to have my homework done. Of course I have use Normandale and CSOM computers countless number of times in order to finish and submit my homework assignments. However, I never owned a computer before.
When I was at Graco, I had my own work laptop, I used to take it home quite often, sometimes to work from home, but mostly just because I like having a laptop handy.
When I lived in Russia, I had my sister's Apple computer with 17" screen, named Karlusha, to stay in touch with my friends abroad and my friends and family in Russia. On occasion I used Matt's computer (work laptop) to send a few emails and catch up on some news, but that happened rather rarely since it's Matt's computer and it's his work computer, its availability to me was rather limited.
But this year has changed, for my 25th birthday my husband gave me a rather nice present, my own first laptop. He gave it to me a week before my actual present, and I think it's because he likes getting emails from me during the day and suspected that I would be rather bored in England without a computer by me all the time. So, he gave me Sony Vaio as a gift for my birthday.
Well, so far, the only thing that I have to say is that I love it. I love my new laptop. Even though it took me over 2.5 hours on the phone with the Internet tech guys to figure out why my wireless was not working properly, I still love the fact that I have Internet and can stay in touch with people. I can listen to iTunes and watch movies now without much hassle.
Anyway, Matt says that I spend a lot of time by my computer, but I don't think so. I certainly don't spend as much time as he does at his, so we are all good :)
I guess what I am trying to say is that I love my birthday present this year, it sure rocks!!! Thanks Matt, nice one (although that Karen Millen dress would be a great addition to the laptop :))

Sheesh. You already got one Karen Millen dress! How many do you need? Maybe before we leave you can get another. But remember we are no longer DINKs. So maybe extra dresses can wait till you get home and are working again. Or maybe x-mas... Glad you like the computer.
