I’m a lush for technology.  OK, more like I just enjoy spending my money.  There were a couple of important items that I lost in the “divorce” so today I went out and purchased them.  My paychecks seem to be getting bigger and bigger at the moment so I figured I would take advantage of it before the $4.35/gal gas prices actually started sinking in!!  Today I purcahsed a new “all-in-one” printer, scanner, copier at Best Buy.  I need to have a printer and I have been looking at the multi function units for quite a while.  Today I got the HPC4385 all in one unit and I love it.  I’ve spent the last 45 minutes scanning pictures (see below) and it is SOOOOOO much quicker than the hand-me-down scanner I got from dad (thanks though).  I also picked up another wireless router since Jirar will be taking the one we have (not much cost involved there).

I’m off now for the long weekend.  I have 3 days off!!!!  Amazing.  Things are getting to crunch time now.  I’ve got “the letter” prepared for the landlord and ready to be sent off on the first of June explaining the situation and the fact that I’ll be moving.  I’m nearly decided on a storage unit to put all this shit and with the exception of my school loan, I’m nearly debt free (I still have a credit card out there that I’m paying on).  Things are looking good for me right now and I’m pretty happy about that.  Getting out of this house though is the biggest challenge in front of me.  There is just so much to do and I have just so little time to do it.  I’ll get there.

I’ll leave you tonight with a picture from my childhood.  Sarah, I don’t know what is going through your head here but wow, clearly your son (though me) will have easy access to LOTS of embarrassing pictures of his mother and his grandmother!!!!!  Good thing you live in Iowa.  You want to bet that by the time he’s 3, he will know how to use a mouse and will know more about technology than you and Brain???  I think I was a senior in high school before I mastered a mouse!!  Love ya.
