Friday Fragments

Well, I'm blogging to you from a brand new place... nope the house is still the same, but I am finally portable again... after much agonizing and random typing to find a laptop that I liked AND was as kid proof as I could make it on my budget, I took the plunge and bought:


It's a Lenovo IdeaPad... it took a little getting used to because the touch pad is off center, but after a few days it now feels like an old friend..

I am now also the proud owner of my own iPad, I traded with Robyn who wanted an iPod touch instead of the iPad she won... so my blog proceeds bought her new toy and now I have a toy of my own...  unfortunately I think Erik is going to think that it's his.

Liam has been getting consistently good reports at school lately.  It's been almost a month since we added the ABA therapist and I think it's making a difference to both Liam's stress levels and those of his teacher, who has the opportunity to work with more children or get her own work done because Liam is working with the therapist one on one during quiet time.  On that same note, Wayne and I are going to visit what we hope will be Liam's teacher for next year this morning.

I actually got a good night's sleep last night... once Erik finally went to sleep at 11 pm... at least he slept through.

I got my wish too.. after having to put up with temps in the high 80's and humidity we shouldn't have to see until July for the last week, we now have at least one day where the temp will be in the 60's - unfortunately it will rain all day, but I'll take it!

On another fun note, my friend Paige, whose business - West Ashley Wall Art - I featured and did a giveaway for a few months ago made her splash in the local paper with a fun mention in a column called The Savvy Shopper!

Well that's all my fragments for this week ... see what other people's random thoughts are by visiting:

I am glad your son and his teacher are happier. I remember those days. As much as I loved students with challenges, I really loved when they learn to OVERCOME the challenges.

Do you like your new Lenovo? My husband and I bought a new comp last Nov and it was an Acer. It does the job but I'm not sure it's the best one I've ever used. Maybe someday when we actually have money we'll invest in a higher end one. :o)

I have never used a Lenovo. I have been debating on what laptop to get. I mainly would be using it for surfing the internet. I always have several windows open and the problem I run into is that with that many windows the computer slows down and sometimes locks up and has to think for awhile. Thank you for the post.
I need a new laptop. Maybe I should consider a netbook, but the screens are too small, I'm afraid!

Glad to hear you''re seeing results with the therapy.

Here's hoping you have a few more night-long sleeps just like that one!! :)
I might be a tad jealous of all the new technology in your life. I really want an iPad and my laptop is starting to act old.
