The Friday Five: Giving Thanks

It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I thought it appropriate to make a list of five things I’m thankful for this year (besides health, family, friends,  work, and the food in my fridge):

1. My black Hunters. They keep me and my feet happy.

2. My 1/2 marathon medal. Ah – the sweet precious medal.

3. My MacBook. I had no idea I would love it this much!

4. My sewing machine. I got it for Christmas last year and adore it. I just wish I had more time for all the sewing projects I have in mind!

My Singer is a mighty fine machine!

5. My new 2011 agenda book (from Paris!). It has a list of text talk acronyms which is going to help me stay in-the-know.

Wishing all you Canadian readers a very Happy Thanksgiving! And wishing all White Cabana readers a very happy weekend!

Laptop Sleeves: A Great Selection at CSN

When my new Macbook isn’t being used in my office or resting on the living room coffee table, it is packed away in my tote bag waiting for me to take it to work. It’s a bit scary when I have to transport it because it remains unprotected. I haven’t yet had the chance to get a case for it and this is making me nervous – I do want to keep it safe, afterall. For travel purposes, I have been carting it around in its box – how pathetic, right? – but the box is anything but convenient and it’s about time I give my Macbook a proper protective sleeve.

After a browse online, I have discovered that CSN has an awesome selection of laptop sleeves – all sizes, colours and patterns – and I have narrowed down my choices. Now, here’s where you come in – which one do you like the best? I would like a white, silver or grey sleeve (no big surprise there, right) even though some of you may think this will be impractical.

The options are:

Option 1: Antenna cool white laptop sleeve, $36.99, available at CSN

Option 2: Manhattan vinyl laptop sleeve in white, $39, available at CSN

Option 3: Manhattan vinyl laptop sleeve in silver, $39, available at CSN

Option 4: Slappa netbook sleeve, $29.99, available at CSN

Option 5: Skooba skin laptop sleeve in silver with orange lining, $21.59, available at CSN

Option 8: Kipling Kasey laptop case in grey, $27.99, available at CSN
