Welcome to the family McArthur, you've been much anticipated

"OK thanks, let me think about it for a minute" is what I said to the Apple store guy before leaving the store to go meet my dad, Mitch and Michelle down the hall in the mall. By the time I reached them at the other end of the hall the flood of questions filling my mind -is it worth it? - yes; do I really need it? - yes, for school; do I really want to spend that much money? - no; etc. ceased when I realized I was in love with this beautiful piece of machinery that now sits here upon my lap and has in turn become another part of me. So I told my family members, who were at this point probably a little annoyed with my indecisiveness by now (we had already gone to two other places and I still couldn't even decide if I wanted to buy a new laptop at all) that whatever eff it I have enough money, I'm just going to get it. I walked back into the Apple store found an employee, pointed at the one I wanted and said I'll take one. Elated, I walked out of that store ecstatic for the future ahead of me. Oh the nights McArthur and I will spend together. (Fitting name right, I know)

Most people know this about me, but I seriously have a huge money spending problem in that I don't spend it. It was really really hard for me to justify dropping $1200 of my savings on a new Macbook. (plane tickets are probably THE only thing I don't even think twice about spending huge amounts of money on) I had to keep reminding myself how much I have been wanting a Mac forever and my old laptop broke like a year ago so... Also I start school again in like 2 weeks, I think it's justified.

Winter is definitely not a friend of mine. We don't get along very well. Sometimes we hang out, but the whole time I'm like -I'm not having any fun. I would really appreciate if you weren't around me, you blow. (sometimes literally, it gets kind of windy) But she always hangs around for a couple months waiting to see if I will change my mind. Take a freakin hint. I don't like you. Some things are kind of fun about winter, I guess. OK I won't lie there are a few things I absolutely love about winter but the fact that I sleep with 3 fleece blankets and a comforter at night and still wake up after freezing myself to sleep because I'm so cold kind of cancels those things out. Those few things I love are...

1. COATS - I'm pretty much obsessed with coats. They are by far my favorite piece of clothing. Maybe it's weird/mean but I kind of define people by the kind of coats they wear. It really tells a lot about a person. I'm pretty proud of myself, I haven't bought myself a new coat this winter....yet. I bought like 3 last year. All on sale of course, I'm super cheap and always will be. ...your gross by the way. Hey Kelly H., does this make you angry...
2. Sitting by the fire and reading or watching TV. Who doesn't love that
3. hot cereal. It makes it less weird that I eat it for like every meal.
4. NBA!
5. Holidays are pretty rad.

Alright OK, she's kind of won me over. I secretly love winter. Please don't tell her. It would be weird if she found out. It's been so long.

In other news, apparently I'm pregnant. Before you freak out, I'm not for real. But some customer at work totally asked me that. I don't really get offended that easily so it didn't really bother me that much, but it was sooo amazing to see the look on her face when I was like - No, I'm actually not having a baby- and her apologize and get all awkward. Hahah classic. Of course, being a girl I was like aw crap am I getting fat? Then I remembered that I exercise for about 2 hours everyday, so if I look like I'm pregnant, well then that's how I look and I don't really care.

So, I'm almost positive no one reads my post at all anymore so I can write whatever I want and it doesn't matter. Maybe if I actively read other peoples blogs and commented on them or something then maybe they would read mine. Ya right. There are only maybe 2 blogs that I actually do check regularly and that's about all I can manage. Sorry other friends. You didn't make the cut.

I really wish they would play the Jazz games here more often. I'm sort of going through withdrawals. Just checking scores religiously on my blackberry or seeing a game here or there depending on who they are playing doesn't suffice. Why Sonics why, why did you die. I will always remember you and the glory days. Oh Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton how you fill my childhood memories.
