My New Baby Laptop

Do I seem more active on line lately? Reason 1: School is out for spring break. Don't hassle me about cleaning. I'm doing that, too. But when I take a break I get on the computer, plant some flowers, etc. Oh! I will have to take a photo of my plants. I have some new ones. My mother and my sister gave me a bunch and I bought Hunnee a new crop of hot peppers. But, you knwo what I'm doing, don't you? That "D" word.

Reason 2: Before taxes, I was shopping for a laptop to call my own. I just needed something to get on line away from the house.... Anywho, I went shopping on line. The credit union had a special deal on laptops with a printer for $43 per month. Ha! It would have been over $1,000 and I don't need another printer. Plus, I don't have the best credit and I don't like to buy things on time. If I can't buy it right off that means I can't afford it so I put aside a little until I can buy it out right. I went to Amazon--which is one of my favorite on-line shopping places. They had used and refurbished ones through other people. There was nothing said about warranties and care in those cases. There were no baby laptops. Okay, I call netbooks baby laptops so bear with my own language.

Then Sam's club had a good deal on line with a Dell for under $400 with shipping and handling included. Wally World didn't have the same deal and I went to several of them on foot. There was an off brand. Finally I saw the best deal after dropping daughter off on campus. I ran over to Office Depot and found this little Gateway. So, here I am, waiting for Daughter to get out of her 8AM class so we can dash over for breakfast.
