The Faces of Innocence?

By now, you should know that I love my furry kids. They have a knack for looking so sweet and innocent, but then they do something nutty like order $75 worth of text books or open what looks like a hundred search screens on my laptop. Ever had a cat unpause your music? Yes, all that really happened.

Smokey, our calico dilute, was “helping” me shop on Amazon once. I had added three college books to my cart and was trying to decide whether to order then or wait a few days. Smokey, with her infinite wisdom, thought I needed them right then, so she jumped up on the keyboard and hit the order button. Bela was very supportive—if laughing hysterically can qualify.

It wasn’t so funny when the music was started and the lyrics were…..questionable. 🙂

Purrful may look innocent, but she is dreaming of things to do!

Jersey is the one who likes to use my laptop the most!

Smokey is the Amazon queen. Lil Devil also likes to lurk near my laptop.

Affordable Computers!

After looking all over, I finally found a great place to get recertified laptops at an economical price. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon notebooksforstudents.org and it has been a blessing. I bought myself a laptop for my college classes, but even elementary students and homeschooled children are eligible to buy a computer through this nonprofit organization. The computers are thoroughly tested to make sure they are in great shape, and a warranty is included. My first one was delivered with a USB (jump drive) and a case.

I liked my first Lenovo computer so well, I bought my second one about a week ago. It was delivered today! This time a webcam was also in the box, and the case is nicer than the last one. Customer service is really good. If you or your child needs a computer, check the website out first so you won’t pay more than you have to for a dependable laptop.
