From Instagram: I mean…seriously. My heart just burst into a million different pieces watching these two color.
Ten days ago I officially became a Mac owner, after more than two decades using PCs, and the switch has been…interesting. I am fairly tech savvy, and I have an iPhone, so I understand most of Mac’s basic workflows, but the differences in the keyboards are enough to make me nutty! The funny part is that I’m typing this on my PC because I got an iMac and our power is currently flickering, and I’m already so used to the Mac layout that I’m now having trouble on the PC. Why did they need to make Control and Command different buttons in different places, exactly?
I’m looking forward to sharing more about the transition and some of my favorite productivity apps on the Mac, although that’s probably a post for 2015 as we head into the fun of the holidays!
What I’m reading: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (and Free to Learn by Peter Gray, although I’m definitely preferring fiction right now!)
What I’m cooking: salsa chicken and rice, baked ziti, italian baked chicken and mashed potatoes, blue ribbon chili
What I’m pinning: pumpkin pie bars, pumpkin spice spritz cookies, pumpkin pie energy bites {because Starbucks canceled my pumpkin spice latte…what?!}
