Laptopness

That kind of sounds like Loch Ness. Nessy.

Sheesh, that's the last time I'm going to go on a rant about something I know little about. Geez. I get grilled by Melissa and PD! Two trusted advisors. They say "wounds from a friend can be trusted".

So I decided today that I'm a big baby. It's like when you have to call Pizza Hut for the first time and make an order. There's this level of anxiety that accompanies it. I remember growing up in my house and when it came to ordering pizza, no one wanted to do it! Dad would say...no I'm not doing it. and Louis would say...no I'm not doing it. As if calling and ordering something on the phone and having to talk to someone new was something dangerous or was going to cause bodily harm. But that's how I felt tonight and i got this crazy idea that I wanted to take my new laptop to a coffee shop or something to get online (don't have it at home yet) and take care of some activation things for the new comp. I drove by 4 places. I wasn't sure where had internet access...I didn't want to be the only one...I didn't want to look strange or like I didn't know what I was doing...what if I couldn't find a plug in...what if I looked stupid...do you have to ask permission at the counter to use their wireless internet...??? there were all these questions coming up and I didn't know the answers and I didn't want to look stupid...my ego has no bounds!!! So i drove by places, stalking them, looking in windows. I drove by two places, actually got out of the vehicle at two other places just to turn around again and get back in the car. Golly gee whiz. I'm a moron. So I ended up where I'm at. The place is near empty (so no worry about looking stupid). The plug ins were easy to find. Hooking up to the wireless connection was a breeze. I've taken care of the activation things I needed...and I'm now taking time to blog. The picture I added...makes me laugh. Peter, Adam, and Ben.

So despite anxiety and worry, things really do work out!

I hope all of you are in a fit of laughter right now...picturing me looking like an idiot. and unfortunately, I'm sure you have no trouble doing just that.
