I'm Baaaaack!!!

It's with great joy that I announce that I'm back. After 6 months of the slowest computer in the entire world and over a month with NO computer at all, I am the happiest person in the world.

Say hello to HP.


So, here's the story... I knew that we didn't have any room in our budget for a new computer so I asked Scoot if I sold things, could I use the money for a computer... He said yes, and I sorted through the entire basement and listed all our junk on Ebay.

(you might see a mess, all I see is $$)


I listed over 20 items on Ebay.... then I packaged them up...


Put them all in garbage sacks and took them to the post office.


I made just enough for the computer! I have never had a new computer and it's awesome.I could not be more thankful and I know for sure the guy at Best Buy thought I was nuts.


Okay, so now in no particular order (phone) photos of the last month of our lives...
We were at the opening day of the first Pei Wei in the western suburbs of Chicago. Oh, yeah!!


Scott turned into Vanilla Ice.
BBQing in the snow...

We got a new shelf from Ikea in our laundry room.

We made a snowman. It's still looks exactly the same right now.


I drive Sissy to school just like this. Brrrrrrr.

The kids are as crazy as ever.


We went to zoo lights at Lincoln Park Zoo.


We finally hung something above our bed.


I became an aunt again to the cutest little brown haired boy!

I'm sure there are a couple things I'm forgetting but we are all healthy and happy and surviving the cold winter. Check back tomorrow when I have the hugest announcement ever!!!!

were you gone?

Amy Hogan said...

Yes... should I be worried that was Robyn on your bed with Scoot? too funny! So happy for your new computer! I love HP!

Robyn said...

Don't be worried everybody. Katie posed us. Right after the 3 of us hung up the tins on the wall (which happen to be the best things to come out of an antique shop in my little town EVER. they are gorgeous in person). It was all about the tins. :) Glad you're back and I always knew your hoarding would be good for something!

Katie and Bret said...
