Hi, everyone!

So, it's been a very long while since I've posted on here.  The last time I did, I believe I was ringing in the new year: I had just changed the entire look (and even the name!) of this blog, and was delving into my new niche that I had discovered within the blogosphere: book blogging.  Funny I mention that, because this new blogging passion is exactly what's been keeping me busy nowadays.

Hello Internet,

So, if you haven't noticed, until recently I'd been absent from this blog for quite a while, making no new posts.  The reason for this was because of being short of a good-working laptop, as my 2 year old Asus had been going more and more downhill and not performing with the ease that I wanted it to.  Long story short, for much of this summer I ended up having to share my parents' old Dell laptop, which made it almost impossible to squeeze some quality blogging in most of the time.  I'd been talking about getting a new laptop for some time, even while I was still using my Asus.  I wanted a top-notch laptop that would last me through the years.  I always talked about getting a Mac someday.  It was the object of my envy and I knew it to be the superior laptop model against Windows laptops, which never seemed to last very long at all.  Anyone who was anyone had a Mac of their own.  Of course, the high price of a Mac made my goal of having one always out of reach.

That is, until recently.  After much saving and patient waiting, I finally made it happen and bought my first Mac!
