I mean, it’s pretty much against our will, but we are. DINKs, that is. If you don’t count our dogs as “kids”. Which I sort of do. I know, I know, annoying people who treat their pets as children.

Anyway. We’ve been discussing birthday gifts. Rob wants to get me some more laptop memory or even a new laptop for mine. I’m torn. I kind of feel like this laptop is fine, but at the same time maybe something with a bit more storage or a bit faster would be good. Plus, that way we could give this laptop to his parents, and they could actually be online instead of calling us up and asking us to look up websites for them (the way Rob’s mom does it is funny – “Please go to h…t…t…p, colon, forward slash, forward slash, double-you, double-you, double-you, period…”) and having to do all their facebook stuff on their cellphones.

At the same time I kind of want/need a new camera. Our camera is okay but it’s starting to get rickety. I have a hard time getting the battery part open and closed. When I take pictures, there’s a mysterious shadow in the upper left-hand corner. The zoom isn’t quite as zoomy as I’d like.

Eh. My birthday is over 3 months away. We have the time to figure that out.

(meanwhile, for Rob’s birthday? I am not sure yet at all).
