i never thought this

time would come but I think I might actually want something.  Sure, I've always thought it looked so official and "I must know what I'm doing because I have one of these" but I've never enjoyed using one.  For me, they are a bigger hassle than anything.  But now I see it in a different light.  Now my interests are branching out and I'm not only starting to think one might just be helpful but also necessary.

I've tried using Mom's mixer for cakes and desserts but I'm looking beyond that.  I'm trying to forget about the messes I created doing those things and see the other possibilities.  I want to use it for it's dough hook.  I want to add a pasta attachment.

Then I stop and think.  I've done fine mixing doughs by hand.  A bag of pasta is not much more than a dollar.  So do I really need a $300 mixer with a $300 pasta attachment?  A waste of time?  Hardly.  A waste of money?  Most definitely.

Problem solved.  Ten minutes ago I was searching online to find the best deals.  It took two sentences of a blog post to change my mind.  Everything should be so easy.

he's in

this blog has totally

been neglected.  I need to get out this weekend and get motivated.  I was using my computer's breakdown as an excuse at first but now I've figured Eric's laptop out a little more so there's really no excuse there.  I'm turning all the blame to the fact that I haven't been doing much.  It's lame but true.  Starting right now I'm setting a goal to get back on track, computer or not.  Okay, maybe not right now, give me an hour or so.  Promise.

because a quiz

on Facebook said this is which Beatles song I am





and most resemble this musician

this morning i've

been talking with a friend about New York which has made me go back to my posts from the 2008 trip which has reminded me how much I like Boston.  I want to go back but next time I want to do a few more things and next time I'd prefer not arriving in the middle of some freak nor'easter.  I guess when I start thinking about how much I want to go visit Boston, I just need to remember the horrible nor'easter of spring break 2010.  That was the coldest, wettest, most horrible weather I've ever experienced but I'm glad I did.

I could post a video reference but the only thing that comes to mind would be a song by Boston and I'm not going there. You're welcome.

I guess we need

a video post since today is John Lennon's birthday.  No, I did not have this day marked but I just realized it was today so here's a video

i think i might

have figured something out.

Look!  A picture!

It's the iMac and I still don't know if it's what I want.

don't give up on

me just yet.  Although I'm still without a computer, I have taken steps... steps toward the dark side.  Yes, that is correct.  I've been researching Macs.  As much as I don't want to be a Mac snob, I think it might happen.  I've been comparing, talking and contemplating.  I am very close to maybe having a decision.  Right now I'm leaning towards the iMac.  I know it's not portable but it looks very clean.  There is one cord and a 21.5" monitor.  (Does Mac call them monitors?  I don't know.)  Anyway, the 27" is a little more than I need.  We'll see.
