Ohhh... happy days

I must say I really am a lucky girl.

Stacy so spoils me. I have had the best weekend with my boy, we didn't really do anything at all, he just made me laugh loads. He makes me happy.... I wish I could just freeze those little 'cute' moments forever!

One such moment from this weekend happened today, Stacy has been working out all the boring technical bits that go to making a new computer system up for me .... making sure I get all the 'good bits' and value for money. Of course I've been involved in the process with, none more then picking the Case for all these technical bits to go into... I did ask for a pink case, and do you know you CAN get pink ones (they are ugly!) ... Now it has to be said. I don't care what the case looks like at the end of the day. As long as it doesn't cost me the earth and all the computer bits work to go fast and make photoshop load up really quickly and run well then I'm good.

So picture this if you will, Stacy's at the computer going over all the millions of different cases you can get for your computer, trying to find me the perfect case, one that is practical and looks good. I'm on the bed, kind of getting bored of looking at cases and so I get silly and pull the bed sheets up over my head, wondering how long it will take for my darling to realises that I'm not actually paying attention... I answer with a few "yeah that's good" and listen for sounds of movement or some cry of outrage from the boy... nothing is forthcoming - silence is all that greats me. Until all the sudden someone pounces on me and makes me jump ten feet in the air. Seems someone had noticed and had quietly snuck up on me!! - How rude.

In the end we ended up with the very first case we looked at... and $1400 later I have a kick ass computer system and monitor *dances*

This is what I'm getting (means not very much to me lol)
