How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Sweepstakes to Simplify The Crazy-Want to Win a Netbook?

in Lifestyle on 01/11/10

badge

My day begins like many other Mama’s out there. The crazy rush to get the kids out the door. Don’t have a single thing for the kids to eat for lunch cause the sandwich meat just smelled a wee bit funky as I pulled it from the crisper, all the good “school” clothes are somehow still in the laundry basket, and my blackberry is telling me I have to be at a meeting at 9am. This was excellent planning. Not.

We scramble, create a stellar lunch of leftover pasta with a side of “I’m very sorry honey here is a scrumptious chocolate cupcake to make up for it”, and de-wrinkle some clothes in the dryer. I make that meeting, dressed to kill, and no one is the wiser.

How has this happened again?

Oh yes, perhaps part of my issue is the fight for precious computer time. Our family computer, though old, is still one of the most popular places in the house. I have to out fox two computer savvy kids and fight with my Hubby for some quality face to face with that precious keyboard and screen.

How would my life be simpler with an HP Mini 110? Well for one thing I could get in my quality twitter, facebook and blog time at human hours, not the allotted time I have now between the hours of 10pm and 2am!

If I had a beautiful HP Mini to call my very own. I would give her a sweet sweet name like Doris or Bella and love her and care for her like she was one of my own babies. I would never let her get dirty. No sticky fingers covered in jam and peanut butter. I would protect her from my other children. I would even hide her from the great big thumping fingers of my Hubby. She would be mine, all mine. I could keep track of all of my facebook, twitter and bloggy friends! I could write uninterrupted, create schedules, pay bills on time ….the list is endless. Little Bella would make my life lovely. Oh how I long to own a sweet little HP Mini of my very own.

Sigh…….heart rate slowing now.

      I would really love to win an Hp mini! I’ve been fantasizing about being able to get away from this desk and let me tell you it is a very intriguing thought! To just wander off where ever I please.. the kids could use the desktop and mommy can still get her work done!

      Yes I would love to win a laptop! i have never had one before and this one even has Windows 7 which my old desktop can’t support.

      I’ve never owned a laptop but have started wanting one. This one sounds ideal.

      I was looking at the HP mini Tord and Windows 7 and love all the features of both. The laptop is beautiful and Windows 7 features would really simplify my life. I love that it has a large HD and it has quick access features to find the files I need. And there is fast web surfing.

      It would be so convenient to have a netbook for on-the-go computing, and this one is so pretty.

      In life, we are always taught that bigger is better. Well, that does not hold true for all aspects of my life. I am a mother. With this comes tons of responsibility. With all the chaos in the morning (getting son ready for school, me work), I’m lucky if I leave the house with a matching pair of shoes. I like order, planning, and to be on-top-of-it type of gadgets. If I win the HP 110 mini notebook, I may be able to gain some time – one that was lost in all the madness we call life – because I will be organized again. I can check my mail,respond, make appointments, create schedules, and socialize again. Besides, who wants to tote a laptop around the size and weight of a newborn baby? Heck, I mine as well get a sling for it (just kidding). The HP 110 mini notebook proves that big things can come in small packages

      Wow, no more scraps of paper floating in my car, my purse, or everywhere in the house with me frantically digging through them to find the “the” one with the time and the date for the meeting, the kids’ rehearsal, the time hubby’s train comes in, etc. The HP Mini would help me tremendously as I not only have to be up on my schedul but all the families of my kids I go babysit for in various cities and even countries (Japan in March) my other obligations too. Please help me!!

      I love how you would name your HP Mini!

      OMG! To have one of the3 HP Mini 110 would really make my life easier because I would be free to move aro9nd the house and not have to sit in just one place in front of the desktop computer. I could take it with me on the long trips to my doctor appointments, and while waiting to see my doctors. Thanks for the chance to win one and good luck to you too!

      Yeah…you are a little better than me though because at least you make dinner in order to have the leftover pasta. And you made chocolate cupcakes too? You go girl!

    14. cwf says

      Something this small would be really convenient for me since I need a computer for work and it is light enough to take on the bus which I use to commute every day. I could check e-mails & bills on my commute. My old laptop was actually stolen recently so I would love a new one! Good luck!
