Wow. It’s here. And I can’t take my eyes off of it. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but for now I’m completely smitten.
I so wish you guys could have been here with me when I opened it up. You, however, might be thanking the Good Lord that you were not here, as it seemed the house was caving in around me (as it usually does when I have something that takes my full attention away from my children). But none of the ensuing chaos mattered to me.
Because…
There it was.
Beckoning.
Open me. Use me. Love me.
I’m so easy.
Honestly, there’s not a thing about Apple products that isn’t gorgeous.
Seamless.
Even the innards are lovely.
Can those two words actually co-exist in the same sentence?
But back to this. On my kitchen table. In all it’s splendor.
Is it wrong for a computer to take your breath away?
I hope not.
But if it is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Just kidding.
The keyboard?
Supa tight.
Flash card slot?
Right on the side.
And, after having it out of the box for approximately 4.37 minutes, it was up and running.
No ‘configuring’, no ‘start up disc’. I just plugged it in, signed into my iTunes account and there I was.
Heaven. Online.

Jenna says
I'm gonna have to stop reading your blog….it's a stumbling block for me. I can't seem to control my envy! π
I LOVE my Mac, but……..oh……..that's so nice, and so new, and oh, so portable.
I'm off to confess my envy.

Enjoy your bliss!
beachmom says
Lurker here coming out to say you are one lucky woman ( in more ways than one)!!! Your husband sounds just like Santa this year when he insisted that I needed a 'newer' laptop. Is it awful of me to say that I LOVE my MacBook Pro? You will enjoy it!!
Terri says
Congrats on that beautiful thing!
Inga says
O.M.G. I am so jealous. I want one as well, but was going to wait until Jan. to get one. I just purchased a IMAC and I LOVE, LOVE IT. Congrats on your new purchase.

And shiny.
And new.
Like a best friend that never complains and loves to shop and drinks the same coffee at Starbucks.
…………………………
i love her.
Sally-Girl! says
I love mine too! When the house PC goes with Kevin to college in three weeks we will be at best buy getting an IMAC on 18 months no interest!
Mine doesn't have the light up keyboard and boy do I wish I would have got it! My BIL has it and it makes a HUGE difference!
Enjoy!

Aus says
It's cute – but (and being a forensic guy who has to do this from time to time) it takes 63 screws and a specially shaped (of my own design) putty knife to just get to the hard disk in the thing….I'm just sayin…..give me a 'real computer' any day of the week! (Oh – and make a backup before something bad happens – OK?)
hugs – aus and co.
Kim says
You are so funny …
Mary Ann says
Oh yeah….Apple high on my list of things a person must have…started with MacBook Pro, now whole house is full of Apple products – the latest being the iPad. Fantabulous!!
Jean says
You are funny- yes it is beautiful! Even the packaging is beautiful!
ENJOY!!
Wife of the Pres. says
Is it so wrong that I am SO JEALOUS of a computer???!!!
That is one sweet laptop.
I agree completely. Apple products. Yes, if God has computers in heaven helping Him keep things in order, I am CERTAIN He uses Apple products. π
clearness says
That thing is so sexy I'm pretty sure that my panties fell off.
Karin says
Ohhhhh…. I was going to think up a great comment but I am totally cracking up over 'clearness' comment, so I will just let it go at that.

I covet your laptop. I just bought a Toshiba, and it's good. But, I wanted the Mac. Just couldn't talk myself into spending the extra $$$. I feel so cheap! lol
Enjoy!

Hey Stefanie–
I found your blog a little while ago because we are adopting from China right now. Anyhow, I was just looking back through some old posts tonight and had to comment on this one! Hilarious! I got a Macbook for my birthday back in October and it's been dubbed "My Precious" because my husband thinks I worship the thing. He's not too off-base, I admit. It's since evolved from "My Precious" to "iPrecious." Anyhow, I'm glad to know I'm not the only lady out there who loves Mac products.
I'm really enjoying your blog, btw. Thanks for being such an encouragement and inspiration.
Lib.
