whoo hooo!

Today is a very good day! My new laptop arrived and I am SO excited! For the past few months we have been battling computer issues - needing more memory, a new hard drive, a new power source, etc. Finally, both of our desktops gave out {not so good, because I really had a lot of stuff on the hard drive that was just purchased for it!} So, after researching and debating on whether we should get a PC or a Mac, I bought a Dell Studio 15 with the new Intel Core i7. It is SO awesome and loaded with features - built in webcam, Bluetooth enabled, Blu-ray, LOTS of memory for my PhotoShop and Lightroom programs and so much more!! Oh, and did I mention that it's red? My favorite color, of course! I'm sure Scott won't be overly thrilled about the color choice, but since I'm the one who will be using it the most, it won't be that big of a deal. Tonight will be a fun-filled night of getting things installed and setup on here, but I thought I would pop in and share my good news with everyone!! Have a great Wednesday!!

spring is finally here!

I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am that spring is finally here! It's officially two days into the new season, and the weather here is gorgeous. Not at all like the very first day of spring - on Saturday - when we had 3 inches of snow on the ground! It was crazy! We went to Dallas on Friday to visit some friends and the weather was beautiful - 78 degrees, sunny, awesome! We went to dinner at Red Robin - one of our FAVORITE places - and enjoyed some Wii time. When we got up the next morning, it was pouring down rain and FREEZING!! Lovely weather for a road trip. Our next stop was Waco, where we picked up the girls' half-brother so he could visit for a couple of weeks. The little ones love having him around, and of course J and K adore him! Scott was always talking about this fabulous tortilla place in Killeen that he would go to when they were TDY there for ONE. A place called Mama Rosa's Tortilla Factory. We passed a sign on the way, advertising one in Waco, so we knew we had to stop. Can I just say it was THE best Mexican place EVER?? Oh my! I love Tacos al Carbon, and they had THE best one I have ever had. For fast-food, this place was excellent, AND cheap, too! So, if you're ever near a Rosa's Tortilla Factory - go there and eat. You won't regret it! Okay, on to something other than food . . . vampires. Yes, I know, everyone is into vamps these days. I love the HBO series *True Blood* and the encore of the second season just started running this week, so we signed up to get it. What I didn't know was that they had a new series coming out by the producers of *Band of Brothers* - aka Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks - that tells the story of the Pacific theater during WWII. The show is called *The Pacific* and it's awesome! If don't subscribe to HBO, I totally recommend it just for this mini-series. It's an awesome lesson in American history and a wonderfully cast series! It airs on HBO at 8:00PM on Sunday nights {I'm in the Central Time Zone, so check your local listings!} That's it for today. Off to my amazing Girl Scout Daisies and the world of Cookies!! Have a great Monday!
