Merry Christmas to ME

First, many thanks to the anonymous Christmas donor (::cough:: thanks mom and dad ::cough, cough::) who made tonight's purchase possible.

Secondly, thank you to Staples for opening right down the road and having an incredible sale on a computer monitor, right within our price point. And for having an additional sale which allowed us to get 15% off the needed accessories.

Thirdly, thank you to my generous husband who trekked down to Staples with me right after work to snatch up what was left!

I can hear your thoughts right now dear reader "What is it?! What could make our blogging friend so incredibly happy, even after Christmas?" Well, let me show you!


Is it a light box?
No...

It is a glowing green techo instrument from the future?
No... but it sure does look like it!

Then what could it be?
It is ... a 23" COMPUTER MONITOR!!!! and WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!!!!!

I had been using a very slow Mac computer for awhile, and then we found the netbook. The netbook provided the speed needed for internet access, however the 10" screen has been very limiting. I've had a few projects come my way for which having a big screen was necessary, and the netbook has been increasingly limiting. So we have been researching computer monitors, and with the post-Christmas sales we knew we needed to act fast. Today we found the deal! I'm very happy.

We intended to get a wired mouse and keyboard, to save money, however Staples only sells wireless keyboards and, with their 15% off everything that fits-in-a-bag deal, that also fit our budget. The green reflecting is from our bankers lamp :o)

So there you have it! I am a very happy blogger today :o)
