Well it all started innocently enough... I decided I needed a new computer system at home... so I bought a great pentium 4 - just the tower,not the monitor - I was going to use my own monitor.... so I took it to my office first because I wanted to transfer some stuff from office computer onto my new home computer.
but when I got it to the office and set it up and started transfering data - I realized I loved it so much - I could not part with it and decided to keep it at work... so then I bought ANOTHER one for my home.... when that one came... I took it home and I set it up in my daughters room so I could transfer some files from my home office computer on to it first...
Then she tried one of her games on it.. that would not work on the computer she has presently- and her game was amazing in the new system... so she begged me to let her have it - I said okay.. and then ... and I ordered ANOTHER one....
In the meantime I had decided - although having a new comp is great - if you are staring at the same old monitor, it doesn't feel like you really have a new one...so with the last one I ordered I also bought a 19 inch flat panel monitor to go with it..... and a new digital camera with dock to print prints, and a new printer/fax/scanner combo....
and then.... because I had lost a set of diamond earrings when I was at disney in Dec. (left them on the beside table) I felt naked without them so yesterday I went and bought a new pair of diamond drop earrings and while I was in the store I noticed a gold watch that I fell in love with.... I have never had a solid gold watch, only the gold tone ones like bulova or longine and they turn my wrist green so I have not worn a watch in over 2 years - impulsively I bought this 18k gold watch.. which is being sized down now, because it must have been made for a woman with huge wrists... I can pick it up on Wed
In the meantime.... my cell phone battery would not hold a charge and was completely dead and would not recharge so I went to the phone store to get a new battery. The guy says, the phone is discontinuted and they don't make the battery for it anymore.. he called around and could not find one anywere... sooooooo... I bought a new cell phone, but not just any one

a really cool one that is also a camera - been playing with it all morning!
So there you go... from Monday - Sat, 8 Grand++.. but you only live once, right? :-3
