Laptop Romeo

My laptop and I are having a torrid affair. I didn’t mean for this to happen. It’s shocking how easily one slips into these little indiscretions. Sometimes, these things just…well…sorta happen.

I am simply addicted to the time we spend together. I sneak in moments whenever I can. Early morning. Nap time. Late nights.

You see….my laptop makes me feel like a new woman. He listens. He sends me messages. Makes me feel noticed. Adored. He gets me.

There’s never an argument. No demands. No nit picking.

It’s just easy.

But, after last night, I think it may be over. I’ve been so engrossed in my little affair, that I have been negligent of hubby. Noticing hubby was missing, I wandered into his home office only to catch him with a slinky little I-Mac.

He claims it was just a little innocent flirtation, but I suspect otherwise. During our argument, that trampy I-Mac took off running out the back door hand in hand with my Romeo of a laptop.

Typical.

Acknowledging our foolishness, hubby and I kissed and made up. We’re good at that.

But, I must confess. Temptation has reared it’s ugly head again.

It’s that Blackberry.

Keeps giving me the eye.

Do you have WiFi in your house? Because that would make the affair much more tempestuous.

And how DARE hubby cheat on you with an iMac, of all things!

Jon accuses me of an affair with my phone. Master Reset has cured the temptation.

Cute post!

Ahahahaha!

My husband often jokes that my laptop is my "other boyfriend".

At least, I *think* he's joking. :)

Ah yes, the affair of the laptop. It happens so easily, comes on so strong. My kids call it by name. It's a little scary.

I'm ALWAYS getting in trouble for sneaking on the lap top when my wife asks me to go grab something in the other room. How else am I going to keep up with all these blogs AND keep my blog up to date. Can't have the blogosphere suffering because I have a busy day.

The Blackberry is my next step deeper into the abyss of the internet. It's so pretty...don't know if I can resist...

Step away from the blackberry!!! There's a reason they call it a *Crackberry!*

Yes I have heard the "you love your computer more than me" whine from my spousal unit. He also only seems to only notice this inbetween commercial breaks of Ultimate Fighting. Plus he talk more on the phone than any woman I know.

I'd be lost without my BB.

Ah, I understand completely. I am in love with my laptop. It's my sanctuary at the end of the day. I'm not giving it up for anything!

LOL! My husband gets jealous of my laptop, too. Too funny.

Ahh yes, life changed with the iMac. Yes it does.

Glad you could kiss and make up!

Your blog makes my day! I get a kick out of reading your post.

I do miss the convenience of my laptop.

Don't give into the CrackBerry. I've had one glued to my hand since January. It gets in the way of all the necessary things. Like showering, cooking, removing oneself from the same couch cushion after three days ... you get my drift :)

Visiting from SITS. Hope you have a wonderful day!
