  I am a compulsive shopper. That's all that's to it. Last night, I went out because the power went off in the entire city. I've been thinking about buying a new computer since my old one still ran Windows 98 and no longer wanted to pull up web pages. It had a lot of junk on it. So I started by going to the bank and cashing in a ton of change (that I've moved twice and never bothered to cash in before - this is how rarely I actually go to the bank).
Waiting for my dad to come home and help me with the whole computer thing, I decided to check out this scrapbooking/stamping store near my new apartment. It's not bad, it's just that I'm used to mega stores. It was quaint and I still bought a couple of things to help the business. I went to my dad's after this and then we went to the store to LOOK at computers. That's right. LOOK.
Well, I looked. I also bought. I decided to only purchase the tower. No printer. No monitor. I have those.
I now have a computer at my desk with XP (which is driving me crazy! ) and it's a lot faster. I'm trying to figure out all this stuff on it and I will eventually. I play on it enough. The fun part of the adventure. When I'm setting up the computer, my former monitor wouldn't register.
So at 2 in the morning, I went to Wal-Mart to buy a new monitor. It was a pretty good deal. Much cheaper than the computer store I was at. I still have to figure out the swivel base, but I will. My speakers don't seem to work as well anymore and I still need to do that. But now I can surf much faster and my computer plays music.
That's pretty cool. =) I'm trying to figure out links and stuff for this page. I did manage to add a counter today. I've had this blog for 2 months and I now added a counter. Be proud of me. I'm getting Dana to help me on Friday night with stuff.
More cool stuff to come! I'm off to work!
