Oh how I wish…
I had a crappy day at work today and for one of the few times I can remember in my life, I wanted some shopping therapy, but I was good, I came straight home and settled for some online shopping. I don’t know why I do that, I just end up looking over my wishlist again and torture myself thinking about ways I could justify buying any of them. A lot of things on my list I could afford, but I can’t justify getting any of them until after I’ve taken care of my teeth and other stuff like that.
But I can look at all the pretty sale stuffs, dammit!
I’ve forbidden myself from any electronics department because everyone has this Xbox 360 deal with Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones. We’ve been talking seriously about killing our cable almost altogether and if we do, we want a good Netflix package, which we could fully utilize with Xbox live! The boys would play it a lot more than I would, but I’d have the upper hand if it was mine ;)
There’s some fantastic deals for refurbished Garmins up as well. I actually put one in my shopping cart, but talked myself out of it. I’m still holding out a little hope for getting a fair insurance settlement. A few of the cars I’m into come with GPS already, but if I don’t get one, I’m snagging one of these immediately. Their refurbished ones are always ridiculously low-priced!
Then there’s the e-readers. Jeeze, if they were a little cheaper I absolutely wouldn’t be able to talk myself out of one! I’ve been reading tons online and would just love to be able to take this stuff with me and curl up on the couch or go sit in the park to read.
Of course, I could also do that with a badass notebook! That dream is much, much further away, but after years of having no real interest in owning a laptop, I’m really starting to get the itch.
*sigh* I can dream, right? If I could just have like, $10,000 next week I’d love to get lasik, fix my teeth, go to the doctor and buy all these pretty things!
If I was really good, I could convince like 60 people to give me $5 each and maybe buy myself an e-reader. I could settle for just that ;)
Well, as you know, I *LOVE* my Kindle! I know you would love an ereader, too, so I hope you get to get one soon! So far, I have not regretted spending so much on mine, and I was worried that I might. Sigh. I need to find a full time job, but am so afraid that if I do, I’ll be out of the house doing something for hours a day, every day between all our schedules. I’m exhausted just thinking about it!
But I’d love to be able to pay some bills, and make progress on fixing up my house!
