Is it a sign?

Sad story, I didn't get to go to the Army Surplus store. Instead I had an amazing and much needed hour massage. If I had to do it over again I would still pick the massage. Pocket knives will be there, but an amazing restful hour of getting the knots out of my back by a train professional...priceless. Well it actually cost me $40, but still...you know.

Another tragic (but foreseen) thing happened today. I think my Mac died. The screen had been flickering for awhile now. Over the retreat it took on a whole new meaning of flickering by changing into every color of the rainbow. I didn't mind at first because I felt like I was back at Disneyland watching the laser show anticipating which color would next flash across my computer screen. Now it won't even turn on. "How am I then writing to you?" you ask. Well there is a community computer the camp provides that I jumped on to report the sudden death of my beloved Mac. I would like to say a few final words about my Mac. It was a good Mac. I bought it in 2005 with my high school graduation money. Which I sent Thank You cards to every person that donated to the fund. Mac, you served me well. From procrastinating speeches, to late night portfolio fixes, you were always there for me without fail. Now tomorrow as I go to the Mac store in Portland, don't think of this as good-bye, or me replacing you. Think of it as TTFN (ta-ta for now), as Tigger would put it. You go on to a better place (EBay).

I take this as a sign that I was indeed in fact suppose to use my teacher discount at the Mac store before September 7th. I had finally given up and got over that bummer fact that I would wait till next year to purchase a new computer. But my now Mac gave up its computer life so I could have better. Thank you Mac, you will always and forever be remembered. Speaking of remembering, I would also like to give a shout out to my first car Dolores. Dolores you 1999 periwinkle Ford Taures SE, where ever you are, I miss you. I think of you every time I pass another Taures, even though you are not with me, you are in my heart.

I found out today that campers don't actually come till Thursday, so as I stated before I will be going to Portland to get a new Mac, tour around the city, and take Mango to the airport (in that order). Tomorrow I shall bloggeth from my new laptop. Yippie!
