So I think I’m going to buy a laptop with our tax refund!  My computer is on its last legs, is slower than molasses, and is a desktop, so I can’t use it everywhere.  Once I had Stella, I realized how great a laptop would be.  I could check my email while feeding her, make lists, always have what I needed at my fingertips.  But it seemed horribly irresponsible to purchase a laptop when we just added a new mouth to feed and I’m no longer getting paid, right?  But I have crunched some numbers and I think it’s beyond safe to go ahead and do it!  I managed to save boo-koos of money before Stella was born, and we spend a lot less now that I’m at home and we can’t go out all the time, plus Tim has gotten a new job so the spectre of lay-offs is gone, so I figure, I can do it.  I never buy anything big for myself, I feel flush with the excitement and guilt of consumerism.  Yuck, I know.  I felt this way when I allowed myself to buy a new stereo/home theatre system with my profit sharing from Blue Fish at the beginning of last year.  But the laptop will so useful, so I can kind of justify it. 

Yay!  Hopefully this will result in lots more updates, I’ll finally get my blog together, and I’ll update my ipod regularly.  Plus, I’ll make tim show me how to use the new photo software he’s using and I’ll get pictures of stella out on the web in a more timely fashion.  Yippee!  I’m so excited!
