Twas the Day Before My Computer Arrived

Twas the day before my computer arrived 

And all through the house

Not a processor was humming...

not even a mouse (haha..pun...get it)

I prodded and booted

such a stubborn HP

while dreaming of dragons

and CyberPower as fast as can be!

Software keys and  serial numbers

and cd's galore

Were stacked one on the other

All over the floor.

The desk was cleaned off

of all clutter and beer 

(not really...it was the only rhyming word I could think of)

Knowing that CyberPower

Would soon be right here.

All through the night

I tossed and I turned 

And dreamed of fast video cards

and the coding I've learned!

In the morning I ran 

to the office for sure

to open my gmail

and search for the whereabouts of my computer-blues cure.

All software deactivated and 

chords all unplugged

while I waited for transit

And twiddled my thumbs

I cleaned and arranged

And I blogged and I posted

until the time came

when I felt a little bit roasted.

I went to the entrance of my bedroom so round

to put on my swimsuit 

When I heard a familiar sweet sound...

A MARVELOUS sound...

The MOST MARVELOUS SOUND 

that I ever could hear

The sweet, marvelous sound of the doorbell so near

so dingy and happy and all full of cheer!

I swung open the door

And who should appear

but a knight in shining brown armor

with a pen and a tablet and saying, "sign here"

He gave me the box

then turned and left with a swish

Oh! How I love Mr. Prince Charming U -  P -  S!

My new computer is here

So lovely and white

just a little bit larger

in weight and it height!!!

I scissored and opened 

with all of my might

and froze in awe

at its' shining bright sight!!

After new downloads and uploads

I can finally design

Move over HP

My white dragon is now first in line!!

Okay, I think little Roxie was getting jealous ...LOL!

Here is a side by side comparison....I didn't think it was going to be this much of a difference!!

It's final resting place!

Okay, enough about my white dragon..hehehe...I am just so excited to get my design projects done!!! Misty...I am all yours now!!!

Completely off-topic, but I have had a lot of questions concerning what programs I use and how to use certain programs. I wanted to show you these cute reference sheets that I orders on Amazon a while back when I had upgraded to Microsoft Office 2010. They cover the basics and short cuts and you can get these for almost any program out there. They come in handy for things that I don't do often, but they are also handy for beginners. I keep them close by while I work at my desk.

Click HERE to check these out on Amazon for about $4 bucks each! If this link does not work, you can type, Microsoft Office Reference Sheets, in the search bar @ Amazon. I also find things like this for free online and I will post the links of the good ones in my next post.

Here is something I added to my weekly white board on my desk today. I love Sticky-Notes (-; And now they have them in cute colors and I just can't resist!!

Thank you for following my blog!!!
