Decisions, decisions, and more decisions. My wife and I finally made a decision of what we were going to do to replace her four-year-old Gateway laptop.

Last night I awoke at 3:00am in the morning drowning in a cold sweat. The nightmare I had just experienced had scared me to death. Thankfully I woke up and tried to recall the dream.
