This year my family surprised me with a new laptop (talk about knowing your audience!). My laptop died in the fall semester of 2005 so I was definitely in need of one (maybe extreme want - I mean, we still had a desktop). The Christmas laptop was Chad's idea, but he got the fam involved too. And, since we had a joint Christmas lunch at Chad's parents' house (meaning my mom, Jerry, Bobby, and the grandparents joined forces with his mom, dad, brother, and grandma) Chad created a scavenger hunt for me so that I had a maximum audience for the grand unveiling. I went all over the house locating clues - fun times. I think my mom must have those pics because I can't find them. Anyway, in the end I got an awesome new MacBook. I'm still figuring it out though; I've never had a MAC before. The only bad news about getting the fun new laptop is that I didn't get the money for the Prague trip that I had asked for. So, now I'm trying to figure out if we can swing Praha in the spring.
Okay, so perhaps that is a little overdramatic. To compensate, I'll end my post with this picture. I think it speaks for itself, but I can't let the moment pass without comment. I, Mandy McMichael, am now the proud owner of a pink John Deere hat. Oh, come on, you know that you're jealous! Maybe I should break it out at the next professional conference. It looks good on me, don't ya think?
