Hmmmm, a day of computer buying decisions

Didn't manage to sleep much last night.....must have over-used the casted arm in unloading TheHowserHouse upon returning home yesterday. But, daybreak came.....and a cup of freshly ground Starbucks French Roast beans put a "rush/jolt" of caffeine into my system and everthing was going well by 9:30am.

The 1st Lady decided she needed a laptop computer for herself.....am I hogging the new one bought in May for our journey??? SURELY NOT!!!! Soooo, she checks out the specials and good deals on the net thru the electronics stores.....and before long after several telephone calls to STL to the various stores to determine which brands/models they had available, we hopped into the car and off we went to the city to quickly get the pc she wanted!!!! It was offered with a free printer, free router, and free carrying case which sweetened the deal a bit. We have been happy with the Toshiba we purchased in May, so we bought another Toshiba....just a different model. With Missouri having a sales tax holiday this weekend, we saved quite a few dollars by buying today.

NOW.....we won't have to share....IF I can get the router installed correctly. Goldie...you may get a call for help!

Finised the day in the city by looking at plasma tv's......leaning a bit more towards buying one in the near future. We'll see.....

The 1st Lady is also beginning to look for "bargains" for her and her sister's annual LONG weekend getaway to some exotic destination. Not certain just where it will be this year.....probably some island resort where rum will ease the pain of laying in the sun and sand all day.

Well.....need to check out the router instructions. Not being a tech guru, I most likely will have to call for assistance. Soooo.....until later.

Mexico Kathy.......yep, it IS the end of the week. HAHAHA!!!!!
