Dear 4-Year-Old Laptop Computer,

I understand that in computer years, you're getting up there. With built-in wireless technology and an integrated webcam, you aren't quite obsolete, and when I bought you, I suppose I did know that I'd expect you to last me a few years through unemployment and grad school. However, just because you see your fourth birthday approaching does not mean it's time for you to start freezing on me every day. I depend on you for my income; an online freelance teacher/tutor/writer needs her laptop like a blacksmith needs fire. So please, just hang in there a little bit longer.

Hugs & kisses,
B

Dear Most Expensive Item In My Hands At Any Given Time,

Why are you always the one I end up dropping onto a hard cement floor?

Hugs & kisses,
B
