I like to sit with my laptop on my lap on the couch. Yeah, yeah. I know they aren't really supposed to be for your lap. They get hot and blah blah blah They should have named them something else then! 🙂
But I also love my heated blanket. And I REALLY can't use my laptop when I have that heated blanket on. And given the choice between the two, the heated blanket wins. (Hence why I haven't been posting much lately!)
I had been thinking about getting something to put under my laptop so I could still use my heated blanket…even if the blanket wasn't on. But then, in true Andi form, I promptly forgot about it. Thankfully, my hubby has a better memory than I do and picked this little guy up for me.
You can plug it into your laptop via USB and it turns on a fan to keep your laptop cool and prevents overheating.
So now I can use my laptop AND my heated blanket! That makes one happy Andi!

pretzel crusted chicken
Here's another Let's Dish meal we tried recently.
It was really good. I was a little worried about putting pretzels on chicken, but it was tasty. There was a honey mustard sauce the chicken was marinating in, too.
The cheesy rice was good, too. Just add sour cream and cheddar cheese to cooked rice and you'll get the same yummy benefits that we did!
The two paired together were a nice combination. I am looking forward to eating the other one of these meals we have in the freezer! And can you tell I like adding corn with just about EVERY meal! 🙂

the undomestic goddess
I borrowed this book from a friend. Funny side story about this. I gave the book back to my friend, who then promptly sent me an email asking if I might have borrowed this book from someone else because she's never read it. HA! Whoops. Thankfully, I knew who else I had borrowed books from and this other friend did confirm that it was hers. No harm done.
Ok. So that had nothing to do with the book and really no particular relevance. I just wanted the world to know! 🙂
The book was really cute. Similar to the other Sophie Kinsella books I have read. The main character always gets herself into a big jam and you get to laugh at the foibles that happen along the way and wonder how she's ever going to get herself out of this one.
Even I read this book pretty quickly. It was a cute story and I always enjoy reading these silly, mindless stories. If you have read other Sophie Kinsella books and liked them, I would definitely check this one out.
Anyone ever read “Remember Me?” by Sophie Kinsella? I haven't read it, but would like to. If you let me borrow it from you, I promise I'll remember it was yours and not try to give it away to other friends. This was a one-time incident! 🙂
