My laptop,
a gal who happens to be one of my best friends,
has decided she’s unhappy in our relationship.
Unofficially and unfortunately, she has refused to function.
Somehow I think we’ll work it out, as we tend to do. But today, I’m without all of those food-stained photographs, all the recipes I like to share.
To tide you over until tomorrow, here’s an article a friend recently sent me from the Wall Street Journal.
Hilarious.
Honest.
No nonsense.
and
Absolutely valuable.
The 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym by Jason Gay
Sorry to hear about your laptop letting you down. But love the article – brilliant. x
That article was absolutely priceless. Thank you for sharing! Also, I think my desktop might be secretly soliciting advice from your laptop.
So glad you posted this!
I read it few weeks ago in the paper, and found it so delightfully funny I promptly read it aloud to my mom and sisters.
A thought for Miss Laptop… I believe she is jealous… such yummy culinary delights and all she gets to do is show them to google eyed, salivating readers. Hope she decides to continue her duties soon!

PS: Is it true you are working on a book?? I cannot WAIT to read a bounded literary piece of yours!
Hey! First, thank you! Second, yes I am working on two books- a weight loss memoir and a cookbook. The first one should be released in spring 2013 :)

Thanks for the laugh. :)
Ha ha, I posted the SAME article on my blog. Love it
Thanks for the lunchtime reading material Andie! And I’m sending good tech vibes your way!
SO sorry to that! Way to be funny about it though!
How dare your laptop break up with you! lol
“11. Gyms have two types of members: Members who wipe down the machines after using them, and the worst people in the universe.”
HA!
I’m sorry. I hope your laptop sees the wisdom of continuing the relationship or something better comes along soon.
I totally just lol’d at work. But not about your laptop. That sucks.
Oh no! I hope you and your laptop work it out. I recently broke up with my laptop, but I’ve now happily moved on. It was for the best ;)
Love the link! Those laptops can be fickle. My work laptop broke up with me recently. I had to get the insides completely replaced.
I broke up with my laptop at Christmas. I know, it was cold of me, but I found new, true love with my iPad. My laptop and I are still friends. He prints for me… For now. I hope your situation is resolved quickly.
