Mailbag and Home again!
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Happily, no jet lag, but definitely a little discombobulation after returning home late. The suitcase remains unpacked which is distinctly odd - opening mail and unloading the suitcase are usually the first things I do when I get home.
Some ramblings for y'all 'til I get it together ....
Audio
Had Ramit on in the background for 45 seconds.
Water Bill
48% decrease. What happened?
Piperlime
These shoes came in, but the day after 7 hours of travel and fat feet is not the time to try on new shoes. I mostly ordered them to check for fit (they have free shipping and free returns), and for the $25 off next purchase coupon.
Returns pile
I went to the trouble of buying a pack of AAA batteries in NY for my mouse. That I left at home in CA. And then found out that I actually just needed a single AA. Back to Walgreens later today.
Cobra/Open Enrollment
This is a whole other post - but turns out I still get to participate in O.E. this November. Oh goody! New rates! Oh wait. ...
Netbook lust
I was woefully out of touch this past week because my regular laptop [which I love!] is just too heavy to schlock around the city. The longing for a netbook is pushing me to consider .... dun-dun-duuunnnn.... BLACK FRIDAY!
Feel free to weigh in on that last topic, folks, recommendations, warnings, etc. No enabling necessary! I have set the boundary: it has to be under $200.

I checked best buy USA quickly, and the range for the price is around $250 for the cheapest.
Maybe you can get an older model for cheaper?
Netbooks are SO AWESOME. You should totally get one. Immediately. And just let cuteness be your guide.
[end enabling] ;)
Honestly, I'm lemming for a netbook too.
I approve of the shoes!
Thanks for your blog comment, btw. I will sift through the comments later. Right now I'm just sifting through my desk (replacing it and can't put a new desk where a junkheap now stands).
FB: Oooh $250 is almost acceptable ... ugh, but we have insane taxes so it'll be more like $275. Meph.
WellHeeled: We need to band together and get a group discount! Did you know you can get the Dell mini in PINK? :)
444: I wish I could too. They're so cute, but awfully hard around the sides ... I sense blister city pending. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and conclusion.
