Things I Want to Buy
Mar. 5th, 2009 09:58 pmWith the new credit card, I get $50 back with my first purchase. I'm torn as to whether I should make a relatively small purchase (something under $50 so I actually come out ahead), or to make a larger purchase of something that I need/really want.
Examples of each:
Small purchases: books, a few CDs, maybe a new pair of work shoes, things like that. Maybe something mundane like groceries...
Large purchases: perscription sunglasses (the sun is killing me lately), a new external hard drive (they have Terabytes! *goggles*), a new graphics card for Michael, or possibly a laptop (probably refurbished, something I can take with me to write on, not that I'm getting much writing done...). Or I could buy an AlphaSmart which are pretty neat little word processors and no internet features to distract me...
I'm contemplating getting the perscription sunglasses anyway, but even that plus a new OR refurbished laptop won't put me over $1,000 on the new card.

OMG, YOU GUYS! *FLAIL*
I get to go see Christopher Titus tomorrow night!
My friend and her husband found out about it, and they invited me. Actually, my friend's husband said something like, "It wouldn't be as much fun without Bonnie!" Hee. I did make them sit down and listen to the first one, though, so I guess it's only fair.
So, they're going to pick me up after work tomorrow, we're going to get dinner, and head to Denver for the show.
Yay!!
