I so do not deserve him ...

Meet "Twelve", my newest piece of technology.

She is an HP 530, and she's all mine.

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, but Hubby correctly predicted that if I knew what my gift was, I'd want to spend all day today playing with her, getting her set up, etc. Does he know me or what?

Why "Twelve"? Well, it's been twelve years, of course.

She came with Windows Vista on her. I lasted exactly two hours before I begged Hubby to "downgrade" to XP. Apparently, under Vista, I needed permission to even breathe.

I'm so excited -- Twelve is as powerful as my desktop system. You know what that means? Twelve's powerful enough to do my digital scrapbooking. I can go to crops again! I am practically tapdancing about this!

(And to think I'd told him, after the new Palm, that I certainly wasn't expecting an anniversary gift because he'd already been so good to me.)

See why I married him? (sigh)
