It’s been a big year for my HP Mini. My husband bought me the super portable little laptop for Christmas and I’ve taken it with me everywhere. His name is Peabody, and he has a few things to say…

It’s exhausting being a laptop. Particularly because I’m mini. Especially because I’m Corrin’s laptop.

For work, I’ve been dragged to San Francisco (where our plane was hit by lightening) and Atlanta numerous times. For blogging, I had to endure hoards of mommy bloggers in Nashville for Blissdom and Chicago for Blogher (where someone thought I was free swag – jerks). Then it was off to New York City for Affiliate Summit East and where I was “accidentally” left in a taxi.

For “fun”, I was schlepted to New York twice more – one of those trips being in a car with no power outlet so my battery was completely drained by the time we hit the state line! And I hear I have lots more traveling to do this year – two trips to Orlando and a trip to San Antonio and Austin. Doesn’t she know I don’t like the heat?

I won’t even get into the kind of stuff she uses my keyboard to blog about. Gynecologist appointments, Facebook stalkers, trends in condom sales, and family tiffs. There’s nothing the girl won’t blog about.

And lets not forget about that silly “Follow Me on Twitter” sticker she has plastered on my case. Like anybody wants to follow her on Twitter.

There must be people out there that are much kinder to their laptops than Corrin is to me. Those people deserve $500 off instantly when they purchase an HP HDX 16t with $300 coupon code NBN3248 + $200 Instant Rebate. Valid through 8/23 or while supplies last. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

Apparently Peabody is a smart-ass, but at least he has a coupon to save $500 on a new HP computer!
