Another one has come and gone. Christmas that is.
Now the bill paying begins.
I keep saying that I will not use credit cards at Christmas...but it never quite works out that way. So, I will pay them off quickly. Or I should say as quickly as I can. Depends on how much money that child of mine will be needing in January.
Yes, I help my child, in every way I can. So shoot me.
Anyway...
It's now the week between holidays and I am off work (big HOTDAMN! inserted here). I actually slept til after 8am today. Well, not counting when the roomie was up rummaging through the house getting ready to go to his office...and my son calling me at 6:20 (he forgot I don't work this week). But I went back to sleep :) (yes - that is a smile)
Santa was pretty good to me actually. I got a 19" flat panel monitor for my puter :) (yes another smile!). I can almost see things without my glasses now. Almost. And, I got a 200gig hard drive to install on my puter. It will come in handy for all my graphics, photos and house design files that I just hate to delete...ever.
However, there is a story behind the hard drive....
The roomie asked one evening what I wanted for Christmas. I had no reply actually...didn't know what to ask for as I never know how much he wants to spend. But, the next morning as I was getting ready for work I had the insert from the hard drive I bought my son in my purse so I could send in for a rebate. I must have taken it out while looking for my car keys and forgot it... He found it and took it as a hint. He then proceeded to throw it away (along with the $60 of rebates I could get).
Ta-da! I got a 200gig hard drive.
I am not complaining. I will get plenty of use out of it. However, the $60 rebate could have paid off one of those little credit card bills. ohwell... Or, I could have bought an additional ram chip to throw in this booger too. ohwell again. But, it's ok - he meant well.
So, after I get the credit cards paid off - well, I'll just have to use them again to buy the ram :)
