Look What Landed At My Home...


I had laid down for a bit of a nap and when I got up this box was in my chair.

Instead of the Christmas/birthday rip it open quick, I forced myself to open the box carefully so I wouldn't do damage anything inside.

WooooooHoooooo!!!!!







My brand spanking new laptop.



Ain't she purdy?!! I love purple.


OBVIOUSLY!!! duh.







This is a Dell Studio 17.

A seventeen inch screen for this old blind woman.

It has all it's keys, too.

There is a place on the side where I can put in my camera card and it reads my pictures. I don't have to hook up any camera docking cords.

Guess what else it has.... A built in WEB CAM!

Good Morning! Aren't you glad you don't have to wake up to this site every morning.

If I learn about using it maybe I can do a better photo for you and erase the image of the 'woman in the mirror' that I get to see every day.

I'M DOIN' THE HAPPY DANCE ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!
