It's Not My Birthday
Yet.
It will be in 11 days.
Steven asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I gave him a very honest answer of "I don't know." I was sick and just not in the mood for much of anything. I struggled to do the things I had to do every day and that is about all I did.
Last week he asked me if I wanted a new laptop or a new camera for my birthday. I told him either one would be nice.
He asked me which camera. I told him the Nikon D-70. I had to keep telling him about 30 times before he understood no other camera would suit me. I have no idea why he questions me to the point of grilling when I choose something I want. Yes, it is a big ticket item but I am no fool and I do my homework before making large purchases.
He asked me which laptop I wanted. I told him I would have to look around. Initially I wanted the IBM Thinkpad R-51. As I continued to look and research and talk to developers and getting their opinions I thought we should take a look at Dell and Steven suggested Toshiba. So we looked. I decided on the Toshiba P35 series. 17" monitor on a laptop!! Now that is some real estate!
I think he was really impressed with my choice. He has never mentioned wanting a new laptop or a new machine of any kind at all.
He came home from work last night with my birthday present.
So, Steven did the old "one for YOU and one for ME'- can't say I blame him- nice toy! Have fun with it!
Happy birthday angie

Yay! Good choices! We just bought the D70s and we are very happy with it. The only thing I don't like about it is that neither model comes with a fitted leather case.
Great present Angie. Happy BD in advance. With this early of a gift, there are still 10 days for him to decide to get you the camera too!
Lucky lucky you and the hubby is lucky too. Great lap top.
I made fresh homemade pizzas today. Come and check it out when you get a chance.
Wow! His and her laptops, coolio!
I'm just so happy that Dr. B got our air conditioner working again I don't even have the energy to muster up some jealousy.
It. Was. HOT. Here.
yay! I love new toys!!! :)
One of these days I shall get myself a laptop, instead of purchasing them as gifts for others.
Congrats on the nice present!

I especially like the laptop picture because my computer is about to bite the dust. What a wonderful man you have there. he's a keeper!
Nice laptop!
Did you say COBBLER? YUM! Hmmm. I wonder how many Weight Watcher's points that would be! OH well. I could smell it for no points! ;)

Hey, Angie, I have missed reading your posts; hope you are feeling well these days.
Here I am still without my computer - and you have a great new one! Can I borrow Stephen sometime?
I was really hoping for the camera. that's the one that I want! There's still time before your birthday to buy yourself a present!
thanks for stopping by. I hope you are feeling better now.
