My husband is a "techie"

Is techie a word? And did I spell it right? Well my husband is one. He loves his gadgets. Gets it honestly--from his mom. She loves her gadgets too. I have been gradually "pressured" to become a techie too. I like the gadgets--just not the price that usually comes with them. All that to say.....

Since December 30 we have become the proud owners of 3 major new pieces of technology. And I have to say, I love all 3!

In December, we got a new computer-again! And so far this one has preformed like it is supposed to. We did have one moment when we thought something wasn't working right, but once touch from Best Buy's Geek Squad and it was magically healed. Typical. I like this one even better than our last. It is a widescreen and has a keypad on the side. I love my keypad! Minor, I know. For those of you who care, it is a HP G60-235X Notebook PC. Very nice!

Our 2nd new member, is Daddy's new iTouch. He has wanted one for some time and was actually saving to get one. But his mother surprised him and got him one. She actually stuck it in one of our pieces of luggage and we didn't find it til about 3 days after we got home. Kinda funny. Very sneaky, mother in law. I love that too. Even though it isn't mine. I had loads of fun playing with it yesterday. Now I want one.

And number 3: we finally got a Wii. Now we are definitely keeping up with technology. We have been looking for one for some time, but all the stores were always out of them every time we asked. Yesterday Daddy was at Best Buy to get a case for his iTouch and he called me to say that they had one. So we broke down and got it and when tax return money comes in we will pay it all off! C was so excited when Daddy brought it in last night! He loves to play! And he is pretty good at bowling too. So after dinner, we got it all set up and played some games. K girl is such a hoot! She can't get the coordination all down yet; but she is only 2. It will be an only Saturday thing just like PlayStation--except for next week.

Daddy has a business trip next week and I think I will need some help to keep me and the kids from not going crazy. Maybe the Wii will help. He is going to Vegas for almost 5 days. I am not looking forward to him being gone. Right now he is fighting a head cold and an ear infection which hopefully will clear up before he flies. Or that will be a painful flight.

So we are having fun exploring what all these news things can do. It is fun but can be such a time waster. Speaking of, I need to get off this computer and get some stuff done!
