The results are in and the new mac that we met yesterday? Ladies and gentlemen….drumroll please…
Meet…STELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Submitted by the lovely Katelin @ Pretty Sandy Feet – send me your address and I’ll send you your prize!!!
Stella I believe, is a perfect name. They were all perfect names what am I talking about! But you guys chose, and the mac beauty is named Stella, which as I told boyfriend last night is a pretty awesome name because while it can be a classy name that makes you think of some roaring 20’s flapper, it can also give you the image of some waitress at some dingy truck stop diner on I-66 in the middle of bumblefuck nowhere with a mullet and a cigarette hanging from her mouth asking in a scratchy voice “how can I help ya big boy?” with a slight southern drawl. Which, not gonna lie is kind of what I was going for. Maybe not truck stop waitress exactly but come on…my ipod is named Bertha. I don’t exactly pick pretty, classy, make you think of Audrey Hepburn kind of names.
So Stella she is. I was tempted to bring her into work today but for my own productivity level…and since I’m going shopping for Gold Cup dress tonight after work since I was economically stimulated and have some bling bling to play with (after I pay some bills…damn) I didn’t want to lug her around because while she’s lighter than my HP? Let’s face it miss Stella is no macbook air.
You can bet though, that this shopping trip will be SPEED SHOP galore so that I can get home and play with my new toy. Last night boyfriend and I trekked over to NE to go to a Pre-engagement seminar put on by the archdiocese of Washington which was a great talk by a brilliant guy. We talked about it after getting dinner at some tiny italian place on C street which was delish, and more and more, I am constantly reminded that this dude? Is perfect for me.
We got home a little later than I had hoped (you don’t go to those tiny italian places for the service…lets just leave it at that) and within about 20 minutes? I was asleep on the couch. So much for playing with my mac 
Tonight, I need to transfer files (which might take forever given the insane slowness of our internet connection because well…verizon sucks a lot.) and finish downloading that damn MS Office update that keeps STOPPING because did you know? When a mac goes into sleep mode? It practically shuts down?! Gah!
This is going to be an adjustment.
But totally worth it!!!
Later today…get ready for my review of Trish’s fabulous book “He loves me, He loves me Not” and my first Pay-It-Forward contest!!!
And today? I like exclamation points!!!!!!
!!!!!!! see? !!!!!!!!!!!!
/end tangent
Anyhow, I have a lil bit o’ work to get done, so until we meet again dear freaders

Stella is a great name! Yay for our new laptops!
Stella is a great name! And you’re right, very versatile.
Love it! Congrats and welcome to the Mac family. Love mine!!!!
i am beyond jealous of your computer!!! love the name
Which Mac did you get? Can anyone give me advice on which one to buy? If I just want to use it to store music and photos and surf the web – will the less expensive one suit my needs?!
BTW – love your blog. I’ve been ‘lurking’ for several weeks now.
yay for stella!
Congrats on the new wonderful computer and great name! I love it! My mother (who is crazy) named a dog Stella and she would stand in the back yard and scream “Stella! Come here! STEEEEEEEEEELA!” The neighbors never laughed so hard!
You will fall in love with Stella, I have no doubt. I just had my beautiful Mac confiscated and replaced with a PC that spontaneously combusted after about 6 weeks. Not pleased.
Stella is a great name!
It won’t take you long to adjust! Everything is so easy on a Mac. Plus, you’ll love it so much that you’ll play with it all the time!
Hurrah for naming your laptop Stella. Good choice.
My Betsy and your Stella should totally go drinking some time.
Hey. I suggested Stella. Unfortch for me I didn’t see someone else had already said it. Stella is still an awesome name. I want a Stella.
