Last week we made an exciting new addition to our family. Meet Sharon, our my new computer.

She’s replacing my beloved but recently decrepit Norma Jeane who has refused to even boot up in the past few days.

I am excited to have a fast computer that does not spontaneously shut down while I’m working on an unsaved Photoshop document.

My camera is excited to be able to offload pictures at long last.

Hugh is … well he might be … slightly jealous.

And Lily is just curious.

On a related note, yes, I have a tendency to name things. Our car is Joan, Hugh’s old car was Huggy Bear, my stand mixer is MaryAnne, my old computer was Norma Jeane and this one is Sharon. I have no explanation.
