Day 3 of my Renewal - To Buy or Not To Buy

Its been uneventful. Nothing to report, but I feel like I should chronical the experience.

Mike's sick with a tummy virus. Tyler was up screaming all night. I slept a little over 2 hours and I was cranky this morning.

But my To Do list is being cracked. I started on the basement. I gathered up 2 large garbage bags of old suits, silk dresses, coats, etc. for good will - or some other charity. I threw away about 3 feet of stacked magazines that Meredith and David S. had left for me. I packed away old baby toys for Linda's twins. I was a busy bee.

That was about an hour.

I confess. I sneaked in some Scrabble and Word Challenge, today, too.

Then I dragged Mike to Costco. And there :::blinggg::: I saw the Acer and HP minis. I LOVE them. So cute and compact - why, rather like myself, I'd say. And they were so cheap! My old laptop broke with out any warning. I was devastated since I had 4 really in-depth work documents due imminently, that I had to do over from scratch. But I also lost MP3s, photos, movies of the little guy, and who knows what else.

Back to the Minis. Love them! They were pretty lightweight. As luck would have it, on the next aisle was the Verizon girl. So I popped over there to ask about the wireless modem plan. Its $60/month. Ouch. Its not a fortune, but more than I'd wanted to spend, especially with that announcement of no raises or bonuses for TWO years.

So I'm doing some creative math in my head. If I cancel the NY Sports membership that I don't use, I can afford to buy the modem package for added sedentarianism (I made that word up, but sounds pretty high-falutin' doesn't it?). So I'm really, really considering it. Whats a little more jiggle to the wiggle?

I have to look up both models and see the + and minus'. Someone talk me out of it! --- or not. ;)
