Twitter Updates for 2009-03-20

  • Here is hoping tomorrow is a good day. No firemen banging at the door, a good walk and inspiration for a name. Can we swing it? I hope so. #

Too Long for Twitter

Most of the time I am now posting to Twitter so I have been writing lots of approximately 140 character snippets of our life.  Today I had a conversation with Aidan that wouldn’t fit into that constraint so you get the privilege of having me blog after the longest time. At least I hope it is a privilege.

Today Aidan was pretending to be Santa Claus after his swimming lesson this morning.  He was telling me all about how he delivers presents and what he delivers.  When we got out to the car he even asked me to park the sleigh in the trunk.   Of course I was fine with that, why not add more to our car with the two kids, two imaginary friends and now a sleigh?  So sleigh accounted for I asked Aidan a question trying to get him to help out a bit more in the car by putting his straps over his shoulder while I am getting the baby into the car.

Santa’s a capable guy right? He can put his straps on?

Aidan says

No, I don’t wear a cape, I wear a red suit.  I’m not a capable guy.  I’m a Santable guy. Ho, Ho, Ho!

There was absolutly nothing I could say to that.  At least he makes sure the computers he gives you match the cell phone you already have.

Who is Who?

I thought you might like to see some comparison pictures of the boys at almost the same age wearing the same pyjamas.  I like that both boys love their mommy.  First a few pictures to remind you of what Aidan was like at three months, then Quinlan at the same.

Aidan Loves Mommy.

I think that while my boys are very different, they are similar.  They are also partners already.  What could be better?

The Cutest Clutch In The World!

OMFG people, I need this beautiful computer, the HP MINI VIVIENNE TAM EDITION NOTEBOOK. Not that I don’t love my laptop, but this has got to be the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time.  Before Christmas I was looking at the small notebooks and I came across this one and I fell in love.  It is so pretty.

I know that I really don’t NEED this computer, but it would be so convenient and people would be jealous!  I am going to Northern Voice in a few weeks and I am hoping (well with a gift of 1 or 2 grand from somewhere) to go to Blogher as well.  The HP MINI VIVIENNE TAM EDITION NOTEBOOK would make it that much easier.  My laptop at home is great, but it is big and heavy.  Giles is more a stay at home computer and the very pretty (did I mention that this is a beautiful notebook?) HP will travel really well.  Good thing too since I will have the baby with me for at least one conference.  I have just the name for her too . . . Cordelia.

And I shall call her Cordelia.

Spring is starting to show up and the boys and I will be out and about much more.  I need a small notebook to come with me so I can still get work done and keep up with my Tweeps.  The almost four year old needs to be out much more and the weather is starting to cooperate.  Besides, tweeting and blogging don’t work so well on a phone.

Who says diamonds are a girl’s best friend?  Not me!  Give me tech every time.  Nothing says “I love you” like a pretty notebook.

What do you say HP Cheer?  Do I win?  Please!?
