Spending Spree
Today was a down day for sure. Just some WSOP satellites and a couple of $6 sit and gos. I won one of those but sucked big time in the satellites. I was brutal!!
Anyway, I've got a hangover even though I haven't touched a drink in a week. I'm recovering from a trip to the mall! It was one of those trips where you know you've just spent more money than you'll make in a month. But you know ya gotta do it. By the end of the day I was giddy. Charge it!! I haven't tallied it up yet but I'm sure I was in the 2 grand range yesterday. On top of last weeks lawnmower and weedeater and all the rest of the costs associated with moving and carrying two mortgages....well I feel a bit sick of spending. Both Lisa and I are normally pretty tight with the money. But Wow once we got rolling it was like Well, we might as well keep going til we get everything. Ohh, and we still need to reroof the house and put in a wood stove before winter. Oh yeah and we need wood!!! I haven't mentioned that obvious one to her yet. LOL. But that's really f$%* all. Sigh......
Anyway, the buying spree yesterday was a sick one if only because really I didn't 'need' any of it. But want well most definately. First stop was Sneakers' computers for a DVD rewrite drive, an extra Gig of RAM, and a new 6600 GeForce Video Card so that I can play my Call of Duty 2 PC-DVD game. I haven't tried it yet but it looks sweet. And hopefully I now have the power to get thru a whole game of Civ 4. Anyhow after Sneakers we went by the townhouse to check on it. The complex looked better than it has lately but it still is so poorly run we will probably lose $20000-$30000 from what we otherwise would have gotten. I'm pissed at management but they won't even return our calls anymore. I digress! This is a story of the buying spree! So, then we headed over to the Sony store at Mayfair. I already knew what I wanted and Lisa was for it too by now. Brand spankin new Sony DCR-SR100 30Gig hard drive camcorder! We had a really nice salesman as opposed to the slick guy doin the head jags next too him. So we were lucky. He didnt hesitate to drop the price $144 when I told him I saw it for $1055 at Future Shop online. I had but I didnt tell him it was an out of date promo. ( I didnt know it was out of date until I looked it up when I got home) So I put that money to good use. An extra battery and a carrying case. This is one sweet camcorder and it is for the best cause. Our 8 month old Christopher. Again haven't used it yet but once I do will do a quick review on here. One more stop at Future Shop for new Altec computer speakers and DVDs andcases and Cds and we were done!
And tonite I recover and digest the tally. Ahhh well.. Finished up $128 at the tables and the bankroll is pretty healthy.
I have a week off work still and plan on playing plenty of poker. Still lots to do around the house ala steam clean carpets, wash floors and weedwack. And I definately want to mix in a few swims at the lake and for Gods sake get some people to come chill at the new house. Out for now. Sleep time.
