The Trouble with Waiting

Posted 01/05/2008 at 10:25 am in Apple, Diet, Spirituality

While I’m a little bummed out that only TWO people commented on my call for donations to purchase a heifer, I’m still going to put my $50 towards the share of one. The benevolent Chimp has done the same. (Many thanks, monkey man.)

On to more pressing things…

Ever since I’ve been considering getting a MacBook, then deciding to wait until after MacWorld, I’ve been in situations where I’ve been wanting to use it. Today is a perfect example.

I’ve got several speaking engagements coming up (tomorrow in Bonner Springs, January 20 in Lee’s Summit, February 17 in Holton, KS) and I would love to be sitting in my living room, typing away on my new MacBook. But alas, I’m limited to the big clunky standard-work-issue Dell. Booooooooo.

Still, I’m anxious to see what Uncle Steve and his army of MacMen come up with on January 15. Even if it is merely a price decrease to the existing line, I’m cool with that. They say patience is a virtue…I guess I’m not very virtuous in that manner.

I’m staying red meat-free (it was tough last night considering I was tempted by an Original Boston Cheesesteak), but I’ll stay that way and continue to take donations toward the purchase of a heifer. Go to this post to read the background and donate.

    I had that post saved, but cash is a little tight right after the holidays. I’ll kick in another $50 if you can wait until after the 15th.

    sorry for not commenting on your red meat post and not contributing. christmas spending and baby saving money kind of is priority right now. don’t think that makes me any less of a person…

    I wasn’t trying to pressure people into giving…hope that it didn’t come off that way.

    I actually contributed before the holidays started by buying some rabbits and two shares of a goat. I think this is a great organization.

    I’m in - as long as I can still eat red meat.
