Woops.

I fell asleep at my laptop the other night.

I should expound on that a bit...I literally woke up at 2am with my face pressed partially to the edge of the laptop, and the rest of it smashed on the corner of my pillow. Maybe typing while laying down is a sign that it is time to throw in the towel and stop for the night. Just a thought...

I'm not used to a laptop. Come to think of it, I'm not used to a PC, either. In fact, I secretly hate PC's. They give me diahreah. Big time. (Did I spell that correctly? I guess I could have said the "trots"...that's another option. But I was trying to be classy. *Snort*) I am a Mac girl through and through. Tried and true. However, Mac laptops are 900-1000 dollars. Um...yah. For a freakin' laptop. Barf central. Just thinking about spending cash like that makes me want to vomit on my own shoes. So...to make a long story short...the desktop Mac went tits up this week, and now I am using a laptop PC until I either get rich (fat chance) or until I lose it and kill both the PC and myself.

The positive part is...I am now mobile. I can write wherever my kids are. Which is a good thing, considering the mayhem my children have caused while I was writing in the office. Bologna on the wall, the screw in the straw, naked mud fights in the backyard. You get the picture. So now I can be a good mother, AND a good writer. Well, in theory. Though no agent agrees with me...at this point. They may agree in the future, but as of today, at 9:39 am in the little Spokane Valley.....nobody agrees. :( Booooo. That sucks.

But, I digress. So my whole point is: I have a laptop now. And book 2 of the Ominous Secret series is coming along nicely, which is good, because my legion of "fans" is driving me bonkers! Well, SORT OF. What writer complains about having readers? I sure don't. I DO, however, complain about not being able to get an agent. Someday....someday......

I think I need to make some laptop rules. 1.) I am not allowed to throw the PC laptop when I am frustrated with it. Which, unfortunately, is often. Like I said, I am getting the trots from this thing. It takes a task that would take 3 steps on a Mac, and turns it into a 17 step intricate process that makes me sweat. Explain that. Okay, and 2.) No typing while laying down. When I do that, I fall asleep. And when I fall asleep, I tend to wake up with the arrow key indentation on my face. Sort of embarrassing. And last, but certainly not least, 3.) Someday, when the Ominous Secret series is given a chance....(from my fingers, to God's email!) and I have actually generated an income...I will buy a Mac laptop.

Which, by the way, I am almost certain that God himself uses a Mac.Why would the Big Guy himself go through a 17 step process that would take 3 on a Mac? Um, duh.

Ok, I have to go use the restroom. Stupid, PC.
