Impulse Purchase (PART II)... I returned the computer today. I had to go to two more stores, listen to a manager complain about another store in vulgar terms, be treated as though I was lying even though I didn't need a reason for a return (because I was within the alloted time anyway), watch another co-worker rip my previous box to shreds so he could compare the serial numbers, hear more profanities, drive from Fort Union to Fashion Place to Valley Fair Mall... all to get a new computer which is what I paid for in the first place...

Impulse Purchase... Today, I went to Office Depot and made a semi-impulse purchase. If you have read my blog before, you know that I don't take spending money lightly. However, I found a great deal on a great computer and decided to go for it. Like most things that I am quick to decide on, this one didn't really go in my favor. After arriving home, I discovered that the computer I just bought had already been used. GRRR!!! stupid Office Depot. I have numerous Office Depot stories, I am not really sure what keeps me going back to that place...

Impulses... I need a new laptop. I really like my Sony Vaio, but I think it is dying. I came across this slamming deal for a laptop. $699 (3gb RAM, 250gb memory, Vista Premium, Dual layer DVD burner). There is a 5 per store limit. It was a flashback to the day after Thanksgiving sales. On top of that, the laptop is red. I don't have anything against the color red, I just never imagined owning a red computer. I would like for my computer to have a sense of professinalism. Well, I didn't attempt to purchase the computer. I know I have mentioned earlier my difficulty with making decisions when it comes to spending money, so I want extend that point. Am I feeling remorse for my non-purchase today? No, not really... Thanks for asking though.

Well, so much for my fine ideas. How cool would it be to have a "scan of the day"? This blog was supposed to be a sidebar to a friend's blog, but I just don't see them actually putting it together. Anyway, this is my first post. Like most New Year's resolutions, this one comes a day late. I was supposed to start yesterday so I could have a scan for everyday.

So, anyway, this is a scan of Molly's ideas for car purchases.... excuse me, truck purchases. It was sitting on the computer desk, so I figured how appropriate?

Molly, will stress and stress over this car [truck] purchase for the next month or so... or until it finally happens, I imagine she will lose sleep and might even have some breakdowns about the final decision.

UPDATE: Apparently (sp?) Blogger's image uploader is having issues, so I will have to post the scan another time [which is totally going to defeat the whole purpose of this blog].

UPDATE TO MY UPDATE: It's working now.
