Bloggin' From a Mac

I never thought it would happen, but I now have a Mac. After the Alienware crapped out on me three times on Friday, I was able to convince Jer that I needed a new computer. Of course it was actually easier when I asked him if I could get a Mac.

For as much as I resisted, it's actually pretty sweet once you start to get the hang of it. A lot of things still feel weird, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Plus, on the new Macs I can run windows if I need to.

That's all I really have to say... oh yeah, also, we sold our house! Wooohooo! (Not to be confused with Wahooo!, Buck's blog. I don't want him to sue me.) It only took us 10 days. We actually received two offers today. Nuts! Evidently a lot of people use www.forsalebyowner.com (or at least more than we thought).

Home For Sale

Wow, somehow committing to post at least three times a month seems to make the months go by way faster… or maybe it’s just that this month has been really busy.

Among many other things, we’ve finally decided to sell our house and get out of the Ranches. Check out the sweet site Linda made to help us sell the house: www.winegarfamily.com.

To be honest, it’s kind of bittersweet ‘cause we really like our house here and our neighbors and the area we live in, but the drive in and out just got to be unbearable. The fact that our new house will be 5 minutes from work and 5 minutes from the freeway makes it a lot more sweet than bitter I guess. Like a chocolate covered coffee bean—only instead of just a thin coating of chocolate, the bean is inside a 2 pound brick of chocolate.

We’re building, so we won’t be moving into our new house until late November or December, but hopefully we’ll sell our house way before that and move into an apartment for a few months. Either way, at least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel now.

If you know anyone that enjoys being stuck in traffic for long periods of time, or that works from home or somewhere near Eagle Mountain, please let them know there’s a great home for sale. :)

A Quiet Place to Read

I’d like to pose some questions for consideration and discussion. Now I know there aren’t too many people that read this blog, so for those of you who do, it would be helpful if you can talk to friends and family and get their opinions too.

Question #1: Do you like to read while on the toilet?

Question #2: Do you feel that reading on the toilet contaminates the book, magazine, newspaper, etc.?

Question #3: If you lent someone a book and found out they read it while on the toilet, how would you feel about it?

Question #4: If someone lent you a book they had read on the toilet, what would you think?

Question #5: If you have borrowed a book from someone else, do you think it’s okay to read it on the toilet?

Question #6: If you were in clean public restroom, and there were a magazine rack by the toilet that also looked clean, would you pick up a magazine and read it?

Question #7: What about reading in the bathtub?

My answers are as follows:

1. Always. 2. Not really, but even if it does, our immune systems need something to fight. 3. I would be fine with it. 4. Also no big deal. 5. Um, I don’t know if it’s okay, but I do it anyway. I don’t really even think about it. 6. Yes. 7. It’s the one place to read that’s even better than the toilet.
