macbloggersons--- where art thou?

so... the computer shopping ended in a heart pounding ebay duel to the death over one loaded 2009 macbook pro.

she has everything.

photoshop.aperture.illustrator.microsoft office.video stuff.something called garage band.and about 37 other things that i have never heard of.

650 holla dollas.

i am a deal magnet.

at times i am not sure how i manage such things but i find deals like it's my job.

like i should probably make it my job.

my old computer celebrated my ebay prowess by barely summoning the will to turn on. he's bitter.

so i am now a mac person.

if by typing on a mac and sitting in close proximity to a mac means you are a mac person.

for you see--- i have no idea what i'm doing.

i mean obviously upon the arrival of this gleaming white promise of humanity's future wrapped in understated but confident packaging--- i became 67% cooler.

i headed to starbucks, smug and sure of myself. my head held high lamenting the plight of all these little people forced to trudge through life with their inferior technology. you know what they say-- macs are just so intuitive. you practically  learn them through osmosis.

i mean --- obviously.

no.

i spent at least 5 minutes trying to figure out the trackpad before finally breaking down and watching the video tutorial. i also spent an embarrassing amount of time just scrolling over all my little app icons on the bottom of my screen. i like the way they roll up and bounce when i click on them. they are eager. i like that.

i felt like a chimpanzee in a laboratory experiment...shadowy figures clad in white coats behind one way glass furiously scribbling notes on my every ill fated effort to do amazing things like... figure out how the plug comes out of the little adapter thing. i kid you not. it's like a giant brain puzzle.

the scene in my living room the last few nights:

go ahead and pretend that isn't on your secret list of worst favorite movies. ;)

the irony being it took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out how to copy and paste that little clip in there.

so now my big secret is out.

i am technologically challenged.

although it's really not a secret. 

it's possible when i pull out my sweet flip phone and attempt to hen peck a text people may start just assuming.

so here is where i need you my lovely macbloggersons. 

that would be all y'alls using blogger on a mac. 

i have read some beastly things about blogger and macs not getting along. can you ease my fears? will my world as i know it end?

this is the only picture i have on my computer right now..

my happy face on the night of macs arrival. you will ignore the chaos happening with crazy bookshelves in the background. there are major projects afoot. projects i want to tell you about... and take pictures of. so how do i do this? 

i was using picasa before.. i have aperture and iphoto and photoshop for pictures. where do you store, organize and edit? this is the part where you tell me what to do and i defer to your wise and learned ways. i am mac putty in your hands.

in return i will give you my secret veggie muffin recipe. it's crazy healthy and equally delish. it has zuccini and yellow squash and flax and coconut oil... and all sorts of other dr. oz/mercola approved foods. it even freezes well. 

you need muffins and i need to know how to not attack my computer with chimpanzee like strength.
let's deal. :)


p.s... i am cracking myself up with this song choice. macs are heart breakers that's for sure. who needs more 1997 in your life raise your hand? that's right we all do. :)
