As you can see, I haven’t been blogging lately. I’ve been busy moving ahead and buying stuff. I bought a new MAC laptop computer last week. I’ve been a PC person all my life, but I heard that the MACs were very streamlined, easy to use and don’t accumulate a lot of crap, so I thought that would be perfect for my new streamlined life. I still have a lot of file transferring to do, but so far I really it. Simple.
The Address book feature that comes with it isn’t as sophisticated as the Outlook Express that came with my PC, so I realized I was going to have to buy new contact management software. I just purchased “Indie Band Manager” – a contact management/musician-on-the-road/booking management software – all-in-one, and I’m learning how to use that.
Then I changed my hair again last week. Wasn’t 100% convinced, but I’ve been getting unsolicited rave reviews, so guess it’s working out.
It’s not like I’m rich. I’m not at all. I just want a new life and know what tools I need to have in place to move on.
So, now I’ve got my new lo-mileage car, my new IPhone with internet access and GPS, my new laptop and my new hair & a bunch of great new clothes. I also shut down by internet business “The Starting Over Store.” It was taking up too much of my time and energy and I’ve decided I’d rather sing.
I’m almost ready to leave.

Hi Annie!
Welcome to macworld. I have been really happy with mac’s iwork suite for word processing and spreadsheets, etc. I could not bare to give microsoft any money and this was the closest mac equivalent to the microsoft office suite.
Where are you off to next? I hope the story continues…
