My ‘Chair’

A few weeks ago, I showed you where I blog.

Mama Kat asks this week where we plant our backside and why.

Much has changed in 6 weeks.

Toy lion using laptop

New laptop (I love this MacBook Air!) because someone screwed up my Dell’s keyboard. I’m not naming names but he’s about 3 feet tall….

Same sofa, different spot. Now I’m nearly 7 months pregnant, I need a more comfortable spot with better back support.

Yes, I’m hairier. Like my new look? (The husband set this shot up while I was putting the toddler to bed. Yes, we’re a fun household!)

    Well, I know pregnancy hormones made my grow a bit more hair but yours are a little out of control ;)

    Congrats on the new computer, seeing as it is a significant step up from a Dell maybe you should thank the un-named 3 foot tall person who beat up the Dell :)

      Haha! My sister accused me of setting the whole “let’s splash water on Mama’s laptop so Papa will get her a new one” incident!

      I know, the hair is a little er, all over the place :)

    Your blogging spot (from the previous post) looks so comfy! I recently re-arranged my family room to include a desk where I could do my blogging. It’s all pretty and Pottery Barn-like and is set against a window with a beautiful view of the field behind our house, but the chair I’m using is just so damn uncomfortable! It’s one of my dining room chairs and I’m just using it until I can afford to buy a new one. But I’ve quickly learned that comfort (and seating) can make or break even the most serene writing spots.

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Oh yes, comfort is key. I loved my previous spot (also because it was easy for me to get on and off) but my back was killing me. Hence the new spot! I hope you get an awesome new chair soon.

    Ooooohhh…Mac Book Air. Me wants!!

    How do you type without opposable thumbs though? : )

    Visiting from Mama Kats.

  7. Kara says:

    I have comfy spot envy right now. I blog/play on the computer/waste time at the dining room table – which can cause problems.

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      I used to sit at the dining table at our old place – we don’t even have a dining set right now! :)

  8. RoryBore says:

    wow…I knew hair could get more lustrous and full during pregnancy, but you’ve really outdone yourself! LOL

    still, I am coveting the laptop more.

    Nice spot! Mine is on the couch too.

    And love the computer. Sweet! And you’re a Mac convert – yay!

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      The couch is the best spot, isn’t it?

      I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m a ‘convert’ though I’m kinda in love with the Mac Air right now. I can still use a PC though (I keep saying that to my husband who teases me about being “one of those Mac snobs”)!

  10. Anjie says:

    Ugh, my Dell recently bit the dust too! I would desperately love to upgrade to a Mac Book, but that just won’t happen. Congratulations!

    Also, I think you’re super cute! Can I give you a hug?? ;)

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Thank you! I was lucky – the husband had the Macbook Air lying around unused. He had bought it for work, but found that he wasn’t really using it.

      And yes, hugs are accepted!

  11. Pop says:

    it’s winter – you can be forgiven for not shaving.

    And this daddy needs a new laptop. Now where’s my daughter to screw up my keyboard when I need her?

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Haha, you can always splash some water on the keyboard and blame your daughter.

      Oops did I say that out loud?

  12. Arnebya says:

    I’m giggling b/c my husband does this, sit random dolls in places that’ll give me start upon entering a room. Some of them are already possessed anyway, singing or talking when we walk by. Um, look here voodoo dolls, I’ma need y’all to take the crazy someplace else; I’ve got enough already.

    My Dell is about to die. I feel it telling me as it moves slower and slower that our time together is short. Thing is — I can’t afford to buy a new one anytime soon so I need laptop life support.

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Ack, sorry about the dying laptop. Mine was dying for a while before the keyboard conked out and the husband finally said, here, use the MacBook that’s been lying around unused (yee haw).

      My husband and I are now putting the lion in various positions around the house – next stop, his truck. Muahahaha.

  18. Ann says:

    Adorable! You look adorable, too! I’m glad you like your MAC Book air. I still have the clunky lap top, but it’s loaded up and souped up to the gills! However, I do so much photo editing, that next year, I’m gonna have to get a big screen (we won’t mention my poor, tired, OLD eyes!)

  19. Sweaty says:

    Ooh aah-ing over the Macbook Air!! How’re you liking it? I’ve been thinking of makin’ the big switch from the good ole PC to Mac… Of course I’m intimidated, sorta like moving from blogger to WP ;)

    Has it been 7 month ALREADY?!?! It seemed only yesterday when you announced you were expecting your second! I know it probably feels like forever for you who’re going through it, but honestly, for me, gosh, time flies!!!

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      I love it! It’s an easy transition for me as I’ve been using Macs and Apple products off and on over the past few years. Plus, there are some tricks you can learn that will make using a Mac ALMOST similar to a PC. You’ll get used to it very quickly!

      And yes, it does feel like a long time since I found out about pregnancy #2! But I know the last few weeks will just rush by.

  20. jlweinberg/jen says:

    You are the cutest little lion ever. Just don’t get fur stuck between the keys of that gorgeous Mac!

    Congrats on 7 mos! That is so exciting. I hope you are feeling good.

    You look ADORABLE! Of course I’m referring to the 30 weeks pic and not the lion. You are single handedly giving me the “itch” to have another baby! It’s dangerous for me over here…very, very dangerous! Of course, since my hubby’s had a vasectomy I guess I have my pick? I’ve always wanted a beautiful interracial baby…

    Because ‘someone’ did not think that getting WIFI would be a good investment, a decision ‘someone’ now regrets very much since his wife started blogging since she is always hogging the internet under the pretext that ‘this post will not come up right’ but is actually browsing ‘Cakewrecks’, I have to blog at the dining room table. Which is not comfortable.

      Yes, the husband is pretty hilarious! I found the lion on my side of the bed wearing my t-shirt, underwear and socks the following night. Hah!

    I DO love the new look. And I love my Macbook Pro. My little 3 footers are trying very hard to find ways to sabotage it so just be wary. They are a wily bunch.

    Oh, does that look comfy! We recently got a (lightly) padded swivel office-y chair from Ikea, which is a major upgrade from the hard and uncomfortable wooden chair we had been using as our desk chair.

    The Air looks great! I’m looking forward to the summer, when I’m getting a MacBook Pro. Oh yeah, talk about anticipation!!
