The only thing really on the agenda today was my son's soccer game at 2:30. After taking my wife to work this morning the kids and I went back to bed and I slept until roughly 9:30.
I woke up with a dreadful headache that I still haven't really shaken . . . even after multiple doses of Advil and Excedrin. It's a little more bearable, and I think it might be fading.
It's always this way for me at the beginning of spring. Sometimes I wish I lived some place where the weather was a little more consistent. Call me crazy, but I really do like the rainy days that we have had the last few days. Often I think I'd probably like it somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. But then San Diego has an incredible climate that I would probably appreciate just as well.
Perhaps some day . . . Getting back to the point . . . My wife called and asked me stop and get her some new pens. She bought a bunch of them ( she loses them faster than the weather changes here ) the other day and upon trying to use them at work she found she did not like them. We had to make a little stop after the game to get some cat food and with Office Depot right next door to Petco I figured I could knock it out no problem. Strolling past the laptops on my way to the pens, one of them reached out to me, grabbed me right square by the eyeballs and pulled me in. I ended up walking out with a Sony Vaio. It's a nice laptop.
I'm wondering what my wife is going to say as I sit here typing out this post. I'm trying to come up with a perfectly reasonable explanation for my lapse in frugality. Very rarely do I make these kinds of purchases. Part of my plan is to say the blinding pain in my head had an adverse effect on my ability to fight off impulsive behavior. Think it will work? If I don't post by tomorrow night I've been bound and gagged and thrown in the storage closet in the garage.
Someone please come help me get out.

Congratulations on the new laptop. I had a Vaio back when I drove truck. It was a nice computer, so based on that. I think you will really enjoy yours.
You can just blame your wife for making you get her pens. If she hadn't made you get pens you wouldn't have been in Office Depot and you wouldn't have made this impulsive purchase. Good Luck with this argument though....LOL.
Sorry for you headache too. Another thing you could ask your wife to just beat you and maybe this would get a good laugh. She would than get over it and move on. Good Luck with this too. LOL...
Any who.. Congrats.

Since it is nearly 11 pm on the next night....are we to assume that you have indeed been bound and gagged? You might try using your nose to type with.....just a thought.
Ooh. A Sony Vaio. I need a new laptop. You've got me thinking...
Should have gone for the Apple - I bought my wife one for her birthday - and I believe she loves it more than me (but probably not more than the kids) ;-)
