Merry Christmas to me!

Yesterday morning Ray asked if we had to wait until Christmas morning to open our gifts. My answer was no, we are grown up. I thought he was asking because he and Joseph were going to a gun shops looking for their own "box of fun". I just assumed they would come home with something they didn't want to wait to play with.
The truth is, Ray had ordered me a gift! Cool huh?
I walked into my sewing room and saw a really pretty black box with the word DELL on it. Pretty exciting stuff!
I opened a beautiful XPS-18. If you don't know what that is, well it is a cross between a desktop, laptop and a tablet. It has a HUGE hard drive and speeds like a desktop, it is portable like a laptop and has a touch screen like a tablet.

Needless to say I was very surprised and super happy! My poor laptop has been limping for a while.
Of course with every squeal of happiness there have been groans of frustration. Learning a new computer and new Windows is hard on this cobwebby brain. Maybe by Christmas morning I will be able to play with fewer groans. 😊

I called EQ and since we have moved twice since I upgraded to EQ7 and I have not been able to locate the disk I had to order a replacement CD. Oh well so much for being organized huh?
Hopefully by next weekend I can play with quilt designs I have floating in my brain.

Ok off to learn more Windows 8...
If you hear whining, its just me...or some of the participants in Bonnie Hunter' a mystery. 😊
