Also I'd love to take you guys along with me on trips, but I hate when I go with people somewhere and the whole time their taking pictures nonstop. I feel like that is the flaw in this generation, living life through the viewfinder.
So even when I take a few pictures, I feel really rude. So to some degree I need to get over myself and take more pictures, because in reality if you just snap a few and put it away, no one really cares. But I tend to be way too self conscious and paranoid about the littlest of situations.
If I am buying something, I research, research, RESEARCH. I never buy any devices without figuring out which one is the best cheap one I could buy, what has everything I'd need what are the best brands for what I want, things like that. Well computers don't come cheap this one was three hundred-nineteen bucks pretty cheap for a nice-ish laptop, but I it was way over my head because, where does a thirteen year old go to find three hundred dollars? Family told me to save it up which would would have taken me several years seeing that I might have fifty bucks altogether right now. I'm a poor, poor person that never buys anything. Like ANYTHING, except felt and googly eyes. Ever.
So if you don't get a present on a holiday it isn't because you aren't a awesome person I just couldn't find a pattern for a Whalemingo on Pinterest. (If your wondering, what the heck are you talking about, and what a Whalemingo is. In an episode of Phineas and Ferb, a awesome children's show I have no business watching. Buford, the neighborhood bully, has a encounter with a alien Whalemingo named Tristan. It's possibly the weirdest music video I've ever seen but I love it LOL)
ANYWAY. I was never going to get enough pocket change to buy this said computer and asking my parents for the money has always been completely out of the question for me and my siblings just as personal rules. If we have it usually we've earned it to some extent.
Well, my grandmother caught through the grapevine, (the way we usually communicate in my family) that I was saving up for a computer. Occasionally she feels so inclined to help us out with this kind of stuff. So she paid the buff of the expense for the laptop and I think I payed twenty bucks. So shout out to grandparents everywhere, they can be crazy but they are also the sweetest people in the world. We need to spend every second with them wisely or you will regret it in the future. Also I think we really underrate the people that are older than us. Because sure you are a expert with technology, but if you got lost in the woods, you'd be dead. But your grandmother over here knows how to skin a squirrel. Who's winning now? Well.... not the squirrel. Oh and you're not a winner either, so who's winning? Oh, granny? Yes. Yes. Granny is winning.
Just putting that out there to chew on.
Anyways now that I've thoroughly promoted grandparents everywhere I will now say,
Until Later My Awesome Tots
The cats shall continue :))))
Congrats on your lap top!!!! God bless your Grand Mother!!!! You are so right, grandparents are the coolest people on earth! I think that is part of God's grand plan. Parents have to be disciplinarians and say no sometimes, but grandparents can be the ones that do things for us and help us and know how to skin a squirrel. hehehe You are so right about spending quality time with them for more reasons than one. I loved each of my grandparents very much, but for different reasons. My Mom's parents was more fun. My grandmother was always laughing and happy and my grandfather was always playing with the kids. He was a big kid himself. He would hide from the family by climbing trees. He was still doing that in his mid 70's. I can't even do that now. haha My Dad's parents were a bit older and they was more stern. My grandfather always had farm animals and that was fun for us to help with. My grandmother was always singing songs, especially while sitting in the front porch swing or gathering eggs. My nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews all think they have a pretty cool grandmother and great grandmother, my mom. And they do. They think its pretty cool that she has a tablet and is on face book and she also has a smart phone. She's pretty tech savvy. There's always lots of stuff that grandparents can teach us, we just have to be open to receive it. Great post my friend! hugs and much love, Patty
