Slave to Technology

This past week a lot of things happened, all at once. The first, is that my Macbook Air decided to break again...so I had to take it to the Genius Bar. You know it's bad when the people behind the counter start recognizing you. Anyway, they kept my laptop for two days, and on Friday, I got a phone call saying that they wanted to replace my old Mac Air with the new 11-inch Macbook Air! I was SO HAPPY. You see, I strongly believe that an Apple product lasts for 3 years, and then everything goes kaboom. My Mac Air was nearing the 3 year mark, and I had 1 month left on my Applecare. After graduation, I was planning to buy the 11 inch mac air anyway, so Apple essentially gave me an early graduation present, minus the hefty fee it would have come with! So I am now a proud owner of this computer:

It's so tiny I LOVE IT!!!

Note to self: NEVER buy first generation of anything from Apple!

I am so excited! Also, I went approximately 2 weeks without my phone, and Kyle went ahead and got me a new blackberry torch yesterday. I am so...at peace now :) I need technology to function. I've been carrying around a little $10 flip phone for the talk/text capabilities, and then my iPad for my data/email capabilities. It was getting a little ridiculous, and I feel more connected right now, with a new (FREE!) laptop, and a new (pretty good deal from ATT) Blackberry Torch. Not quite ready to jump into the iPhone bandwagon yet, but maybe in a year and half when the new phone comes out :)

This past week it's been absolutely unbearably hot. On Friday the heat index was 120 degrees!!! It's one thing when it's summer weather, but another when it just plain hurts to breathe outside...this week is supposed to be in the 80s so I'm crossing my fingers. The past two weekends Kyle drove down to DC to see me. He's been doing really well, still loving his job, which I find amazing and awesome and very...jealousy-inducing :) He has already gone to court multiple times, which is great for litigation experience, and he plays a lot of golf with the people at his firm. He finally has his name on the door and his official business cards, so I am SUPER proud of him. Super super super.

Yay!!!!!!!
