New toy does not give new joy?
How odd, I thought I would never feel this way about clicking the ’submit’ button for an online order for a tech gadget. I just bought (with the strong hinting from the wife) a notebook
Dell Inspiron 2200.
Quite the nice little machine and I’ve always wanted one anyway. So why do I feel so bad about blowing $800? And for a computer no less! This was a really nice deal too. And its my birthday tomorrow! WTF? Could this be a sign I am getting old and too chincy with the money? Of course I’ve always been a tightwad but when it comes to stuff like this I have no qualms usually. I guess the logic section of my brain has come into play here..”You don’t REALLY need this do you?”
“Brain”, I said “this is actually for Trisha and not me, so there.” And click away I did.
If you need to find me, I’ll be sitting out on the deck surfing the net while sipping on a margarita this summer.
