Spontaneous Combustion

Our credit card is on the verge of combustion. Think we are overcompensating for the plan to hunker down in Bangladesh, knowing there won't be a lot to purchase when we get there. We've been to the mall 3 times this week, not to mention Target, Best Buy, Trader Joe's, REI, etc.  Seems anything we like enough to take a second look at, we just go ahead and throw it in the cart... especially in the Disney Store. Good lord, the child has added to her collection of toys and recently has added several fun dress up outfits. It will be a good thing to get us out of range from nice malls for a while!

My camera arrived this week, HALLELUJAH! Now I just have to remember how to use it. And quick! There will be a plethora of colors and sites before my eyes in mere days. So we stopped at the bookstore (twice, Barnes and Noble & Borders) where I grabbed a photography book to TRY to educate myself. Hopefully I can read it during the 18+ hours of flying time. I've keep wanting to take a photography class, just still haven't gotten to it yet.

Also bit the bullet and bought a MAC computer today!!!! Wasn't really in the plan of purchases prior to departure, but necessary. My laptop has been firing blanks for about a month. This morning it took 6 tries to boot, and last week we took it to the Geek Squad, who gave a weak diagnosis. Didn't think dealing with a sick laptop on top of all the life changing events would be the best idea. I have a lot to learn about my new Mac.
