Yesterday was a very bad day. I cracked my laptop screen (don't ask), had a very dodgy haircut that I had to 'fix' by hacking at it with a pair of kitchen scissors, and then discovered that a very lovely Kohler sink I needed for a kitchen reno was smashed and had to be replaced asap. Bad things definitely run in three's...
Luckily for me David is an IT superstar and managed to get everything off the old laptop and onto a storage drive, all the while with only a 2 inch square bit of screen that was still visible. So we hit Best Buy , where I was blown away - since I'm of course thinking 'design first' - by all the laptop colour and styling choices available. One with a swirly pattern was quickly dismissed, and then I was trying to wrap my head around the HP Special Edition Thrive in Dynamic Bronze (more of a coppery tone really) when something else caught my eye - It was the v. cool HP Special Edition Influx in Ceramic White (glossy white with a subtle pattern). No more boring old laptop for me, and of course I've promised not to break this one.
