I have good news! We found out yesterday that Joe got the internal position he interviewed for exactly a month earlier. Thank god! I am so relieved that we can keep saving money, and spending it too. ;)<\/p>\n
So what did we do to celebrate? Well, first we went to Lonestar Steakhouse for dinner and each got a yummy filet. I cannot stress how good their steaks are, plus how cheap in comparison to the fancy steak houses we’ve been to in the past and didn’t even like.<\/p>\n
After dinner we went to Circuit City and I almost convinced Joe to buy a new laptop since they had a sweet 17″ widescreen Toshiba that would be awesome for his gaming. He was hesitant to drop almost $800 without doing some research first, though. I saw the cutest laptop too but it was $1000+ which is way too much for how often I’d use it. I’d like something lightweight to surf on from the couch but not for that price! I think I’ll be ordering a new processor and memory for my desktop, though. Or a new computer if that’s cheaper.<\/p>\n
Somehow we ended up at Target in the electronics department and Joe asked if I wanted to get the 80GB iPod Classic I’ve been drooling over lately. I debated, but it was on sale and they give you a $25 gift card, so how could I resist? I was standing there, unable to decide between the black and the silver, and what does my husband do? He tells the kid, “give us one of each”. This coming from my not-so-spontaneous (at least with money) husband! To say I was shocked is an understatement! He had a little buyer’s remorse after the kid rang us up but he got over it. LOL!<\/p>\n
So we got them home and I made him open the black one so I could look at it before we opened the silver one. I loaded my entire Cure collection on it (of course) after I figured out iTunes. Yes, I’m going to gripe about it again because I really do not like it. The user interface stinks and if there’s a way to clean up deleted files from the library without manually deleting them one by one I’ve been unable to figure it out. But no matter as I found out Winamp supports the iPod and is much easier to use. Problem solved. And this knowledge will come in handy for when the girl gets her Nano for Christmas.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I decided I’d rather have the black one which is ironic because I had been leaning toward the silver one initially and Joe was trying to convince me to get the black one (before he decided to get one too). I told Joe we should exchange the silver one for another black one since he didn’t seem to care for the silver but he decided he likes it after all so he opened it up this afternoon and started loading songs on it. <\/p>\n
Can you guess where we’re going on Sunday? The Apple store to look at iPod accessories. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
