#ad Moving Up con @BestBuy #Windows and @HP

Part of the Best Buy Bloggers, Babushka was compensated for this post. 

Opinions of course, as always, are BB's.

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

In August, Babushka is celebrating 7 years of blogging. Who’d of thunk it?  Guess it isn’t just a hobby or a passing phase. Ya es hora to take this “up a notch” and get some heavy duty, for real tools.  Naturalmente the main tool to upgrade has to be BB’s computadora.  Of course and por supuesto the first place to go is Best Buy and look at the latest HP Hewlett-Packard.

Now those of you who’ve danced with Babushka before know she doesn’t work or think any harder than she has to, so we’ll be looking at the HP Envy x360 que parece it does TODO.  It combines laptop screens that con Windows Ink lets you write on the screen!!  Miren, let them tell you themselves.

"Product Specs:

Windows 10 operating system
Windows 10 brings back the Start Menu from Windows 7 and introduces new features, like the Edge Web browser that lets you markup Web pages on your screen.

Built for Windows Ink
Quickly jot down notes and ideas with ease.

Full HD touch screen
The 1920 x 1080 resolution boasts impressive color and clarity. Natural finger-touch navigation makes the most of Windows 10. IPS technology for wide viewing angles. Energy-efficient WLED backlight.

8GB system memory for advanced multitasking
Substantial high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run your games and photo- and video-editing applications, as well as multiple programs and browser tabs all at once.

360° flip-and-fold design
Offers versatile functionality with laptop, audience, tabletop, presentation and tablet modes."

Que perfecta right?? All that power, performance, PLUS portability. Did you see how thin the HP Envy x360 is ? Muy importante, because Beautifuls, you know the size/weight of Babushka’s Snack Bag! And as if that wasn’t enough, you can save $100 off until July 28, so corrrren to Best Buy!! BB not know a good thing when she sees it?  JU SO FONII!!  The toughest decision is whether to get the HP Envy 13in  or the HP Envy 15in.

Beautifuls, which one will you choose ?

A Day Without Feibu y Tweety

Babushka didn't know what to do with herself on Monday. Bueno, let's rephrase that and give y'all a little background info here.  El Dr.'s 6th bday party was on Saturday, so of course La Tata and I were going, however on Friday when my eldest picked us up I hadn't quite finished with Tweety.  Thankfully during Hispanicize I had learned about HootSuite via the preciosa Paula Bendfelt-Diaz and had scheduled most of the weekend tweets, pero I still had a few left so I took my laptop.  And then on Sunday- I forgot my laptop. ::SIGH:: Ok, si, I know.

Now how many of you have had children say "I'm bored!" and you counter with "Well, you can always clean your room." or "You can ____________ (fill the blank w/some other chore) and that will keep you busy."  Yeap, that Karma sure has a wicked sense of humor doesn't she?

 So by 11 a.m. BB had:

Laundry

This is how it's done in Little Havana

DONE

By 1:00 p.m.

 

Crocheting



Cuban Pañales aka Burp Cloths

DONE

By  2:00 p.m.
(just in time for Siesta)


Dinner

Thank Goodness for Rice Cookers!
Arroz Amarillo w/vegetales w/hotdogs cut up
surrounding a mound of fufu w/fried eggs in the middle

HEARTY CUBAN COMIDA

DONE 



Once I awoke after my 3.5 hour nap- Quuueeeee???
I was physically exhausted.  BB usually staggers her chores...over days. 
Or longer.




Babushka did notice one thing though. I was more relaxed and felt more, dare I say it - fullfilled?  I had, if only for the day, become an oldtime Cuban homemaker with the crocheting and everything! Oh my, the visions of life in the campo, the lessons of yore, the simpler pleasures... maybe I should try going without mi computadora for one day a week? What the hey, BB's all about living w/gusto- maybe the entire weekends?

JU SO FONII!!!

When my daughter swung by after work with my laptop,

I didn't know which to kiss first- her or the computer.

; )

Time for a smartphone.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
