iMac

We have joined the masses.

I'm a little scared and out of my element.

Howie and I wanted a new computer and so we decided to go with an iMac.  The sales guy assured us that the transition would be easy so, I hope he is right.  So far I've just taken it out of the box, plugged it in, and connected it to the internet.  I already like it, but I've yet to really delve into it.

It's an interesting feeling walking out of the store you just dropped some serious cash in and flaunting to the world the expensive piece of technology you've just purchased.  Howie and I both felt it.  We left our local Best Buy with that huge iMac box and it was like "Here we are.  Look at us and our expensive, new, modern, computer."  We got to the car and Howie said to me "I almost felt like we were going to get mugged."  I laughed and said "You felt that, too?!"  Really scary.

Right now I have our old computer set up on our big iMac box...on the floor...so I can blog about our new computer.  It's 11 o'clock at night and I'm in no mood to be reading instruction manuals.

I'm sure I'll be like every other Mac owner and take a picture of myself hugging it at some point.  Or become completely obsessed like this gal. (one of my favorite You Tubers)

But for now I'm going to bed.

La Bonne Vie

Yesterday Howie and I visited a cute little sweets shop in The Grand America called La Bonne Vie.  I've wanted to go ever since I heard them advertising it on the radio.

How cute is this store?!?

We enjoyed some hazlenut gelato...

And saw probably the biggest chocolate covered strawberries I've ever seen.

My main reason for going was to try their macarons.  They are a French delicacy and yet we did not try them in France.  Shame on us.

We went home with a strawberry one and a vanilla one.

I wanted to like them, I really did.  But I did not.  I'm blaming it on the fact that they were made here and not in France.  Maybe one day, when we return to Paris, we can try an authentic macaron and fall in love.

Until then we are left with the fake ones.

French Fry Dreamin'

For the first time since going on my diet I actually dreamt about eating food last night.  My body must be missing all of that french fry intake because that's what I ate in my dream.  Apollo Burger french fries and a big cheeseburger.  I remember it so clearly.  The french fries were so tasty in this dream and I even had fry sauce to dip them in.  I wouldn't be surprised if my hand came up to my mouth as I slept as if I really were eating them.  For real.  Well, I only have a couple more weeks on this diet and then I'll be done...for now.  I don't think I'll fully reach my goal, but I'm going to continue to watch what I eat.  I'm down 21 pounds as of this morning and it feels great.

Thanks Nutrisystem for making a program that is so easy for us food addicts to follow.

My blog has been a bit of a blah lately because we stay in all the time and don't really go anywhere and do anything since all of my food is at my house and I have to eat every 3-4 hours so, I'm hoping it will get more interesing in the weeks to come.  We have fun plans for our 3 year anniversary coming up on June 28th so, I will definitely be bloggin' about that.
