The Argument Clinic

So I am sitting in the airport waiting to leave for business trip #2 of 2006. Off to phoenix…connecting through BWI. Phoenix would be ok if I liked the warmth (and spending most of my time in airports and hotels), but that isn’t so much the case. And I had the usual dilemma of how do I dress when its cold here this morning and 80 where I’m going? Always frustrating.

And I am going to miss my sweet little kitties My friend Val is watching them for me this week (thanks Val!).

Have I mentioned how much I hate flying??? I seriously do though…I basically can’t wait to hear “welcome to albany” but considering I haven’t left albany yet I think its safe to say that it will be a little while before I hear it Seriously though, it really doesn’t seem to matter how many times I fly because I stress every time regardless…I hate the whole experience but, unfortunately, its a necessity sometimes. Oh well, time to get back to trying to get myself to relax.

I know I haven’t been great at updating this week, stuff has just been crazy with traveling last week, traveling next week, doing stuff in the evenings, and trying to get my daily exercise in (really important to make sure I have some energy at least).

Anyways, so, as some of you know, my dell laptop died on me months ago (in case you were wondering, I usually send in updates from my blackberry [yes, I am one of those people ]). I didn’t want to get another pc cause I have never had one last me for more than 2 years (cause they, like, suck and stuff), my most recent laptop just stopped turning on altogether (it made a noise, but that didn’t do me much good without the screen actually appearing), so to my sister’s delight, i bought a mac today (waited til after i completed my taxes…and yes, I know, i do them really early, just ripping off the band aid I suppose ). Got one of those mac minis, don’t have a monitor yet (I am using it now though, am using it through my tv cause I was impatient and wanted to try it out with something between now and when the monitor I bought on ebay gets here [picked up a flatscreen/lcd viewsonic monitor that was way less expensive than the monitors that apple currently sells).

I have to say its a little weird typing on my tv, but I really didn’t feel like waiting for a week-a week and half for the actual monitor to try out the computer and the adapter wasn’t too expensive. Plus, its cute and that’s what is really important

Had considered getting another laptop (cause I have wireless at my apartment and that seemed to make sense) but if I am really lazy and don’t want to move from the couch much to look something up, I figure I can grab my blackberry (which I can sync up with my desktop now - isn’t that cute too? ) and the mac mini is just really cute, my sister has the same one and really likes it. So I am looking forward to getting my real monitor and finishing the actual set-up.

Anyways, my updates on here will probably be more frequent now that I have a better set up at home to do this with.
