Nothing too exciting has happened lately. I had last Friday off from work (first one in almost a month. yay!!), but none of my friends were available to hang out. It was then that I realized that I have very few friends left in Houston who I'm close enough with to just call last minute and say "Hey, let's hang out" without feeling awkward about it. Most of them have either gotten married or moved away. Or both. Usually it's the latter. Tonight I found out that one of my last remaining close friends (who got married over the summer) is moving away :o(. I'm happy that she and her husband are finally getting a chance to start out their new life together (he's been in Iraq for the past 6 months), but I'm also sad that my confidante isn't going to be so close anymore. Asi es la vida, right? Things change and life goes on. Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck in limbo while everyone around me is moving on. Just the other day I learned that my best friend's little brother (I've known him since he was 3) is now engaged. How crazy is that??? I didn't even know he and this girl were even dating!!! lol And then another friend of mine has a possible romance in bloom as well. I feel like I'm being left behind. The subject of love is always one in which I sit in the back. Anywho, I'm doing what I do to get by. Now the only thing that would make life bearable would be lower gas prices. Inconceivable, I know, but a girl can dream, can't she? ;o)

Last week my poor little lappy died on me. I had plans to "resurrect" it, but after consulting with a few others who knew more about computers than I did, I decided it was more prudent to just get a new one. So today I went lappy shopping. Unfortunately, I only went to one store: the Apple store. BAAAAAAAAAD idea! lol I walked out with a macpro, a really awesome little laptop. But it wasn't in any way budget worthy, and I'm sure my daddy's gonna hit the roof when he finds out I spent nearly 3 times as much as we had discussed was reasonable. In the end, it's my money, so he can't really have much to say, right? Um...riiiiight. Knowing him, I'm never going to hear the end of it until he comes to visit and plays with my computer, then I'll never have it to myself! hahah That's my dad for you. So I really like my new little lappy. It's frikken AWSESOME!!!! So many cool features that I don't know how to use yet...can't wait to start learning all about it. I'm just hoping I don't feel so guilty about getting it that I take it back. We'll see. I'll give myself a week; if I still feel funny about it, I can always take all the stuff back. It would suck, but at least I wouldn't have wasted my money on something I could regret in the future. So here's to impulse buys and new computers! :o)
