Most of you know I worked four jobs this past year. I didn’t do it because I am a glutten for punishment. I did it because I wanted something that wouldn’t fit into my normal budget. Therefore, I had to find a way to finance it outside my budget, and I am not delusional enough to think buying things on credit makes that possible.
Here is what I ran myself ragged for — mine at last. A Gateway Notebook PC with a 15.4″ ultra-bright screen, Intel-Pentium Dual Core Mobile Processor, 120 GB hard drive, 1024 MB RAM, CD & DVD readable and rewritable; with the Vista Home Premium operating system.
I would hug it and kiss it, but I don’t want to touch that shiny aluminum case. Ain’t it purdy?
Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
Oh, yes! It’s beautiful! And you deserve it, too! I know you’ll really enjoy it. I’m happy for you, CB.
Glad you got a new toy, you deserve it, I am thinking about a new computer, this old HP is giving up the ghost too fast. Do I get a better vehicle to drive or a new computer???. I think fixing the computer and something safer to drive is the proper thing.
Enjoy your new toy
LOL! Awwwwwwww…. I hope you two will be very happy together — for MANY years to come!!! I wish kids today would realize that they have to WORK for what they want — and how much more they will appreciate it for having done so! Congratulations Quilly! WELL DONE!!!
Wait, I’ve been buying stuff on credit since I quit my job 6 months ago. What’s wrong with that? Is something bad going to happen? Does it have anything to do with those envelopes I keep getting from Delaware?
It is indeed purdy, Aunt Quilly, and will make it easy for you to send me beautiful photos when you arrive in Hawaii.
Jackie — thank you. I felt very extravagant buying it, since I’m about to quit my job, but I did work hard for it. I hope Hawaii neds teachers as badly as they claim.
Bill – something safer to drive is probably the best idea — if you want to be around to enjoy a new computer.
Melli — I am sure it will be a blessed and productive union.
Diesel — the pink envelopes with the big read “urgent” stamp on them? Nah. Those are just courtesy cards. Wait until the phone starts ringing.
Brooke — and I just found the camera software so get ready!
It’s beauteous.
I’m thinking about getting one myself, but the one I’m looking at isn’t nearly as cool as yours. You’re a smart girl, buying it before you went to Hawaii. I imagine they cost a weeeee bit more there.
It is VERY nice, Quilly! I hope you’ll really enjoy it!
Brig — this lovely, cool thing wasn’t as expensive as you might think. When I started out on my 4 job spree, I was headed for the fully-loaded top-of-the-line moidel, but I found alternate uses for the better part of that money (can you say, Hawaii?) and purchased this quite reasonably.
Rob — so far I love it.
I need a big favor – (this will keep me awake nights!) – could you ask OC if he will go to Marcy’s site when (IF) he gets a few minutes – and check out the post about the rock?????? It is driving me crazy! Her site is: http://myquiltsnstuff.wordpress.com
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
it’s a beauty. and well deserved, too
Oh, that’s berry purdy. I’m green.
Jackie — OC is very busy mid-week, but I sent it. I hope you get an answer before you go crazy — oops! Too late.
Polona — isn’t she lovely?
Nessa — green is a lovely color for you.
now that is a little piece of luxury you have there. Veyr nice, shiny and it seems powerful. many a wonderful blogpost can be written on such equipment
Congratualtions!
Gorgeous! I’m suddenly struck with computer envy…I wonder if McDonalds is hiring?
That’s a bunch of shuckin’ fullbit! Are you kidding me?! I know you’re not. And don’t tell me—-these are older clerks who have been there forever and are smug and surly, right? If not, then you are in for some real trouble when they get a few years under their belt.
Now that I know where to leave the comments—-I do love that picture on that beautiful ‘puter.
Penguin — and if I ever get finished packing I may take it out and use it! (I return the desktop comp to the school tomorrow.)
Kat — you’re already more then busy enough!
Gawpo — I knew this comment was for the post office post. And the clerk was a young twit.
Gawpo Again — I picked that desktop background to tremind me why I am I doing all this packing. I don’t have the photos of OC transferd over yet, or you may have been looking at him. Monday my car leaves this state behind.
