On impulse...

Two days ago, I was looking on line at the Best Buy ads and oohing and aahing over some of the very low priced lap tops they are now offering. (I have long wanted a lap top.) Yesterday, at work, I had to take a client to Best Buy (I swear this was a coincidence!) to get his portable DVD player repaired. See, one of the things I help my clients do is learn the life skills most people take for granted. Not everyone has the confidence and knowledge of how to speak up to a repair person and ask the right questions. It's particularly difficult if you have an anxiety disorder or schizophrenia. So...

there I was at Best Buy helping my client deal with the Geek Squad when I realized I was a mere 15 feet away from those laptops I was coveting the night before.

Well, I ask you. What's a girl to do?

I'm writing my blog right now on my beautiful new sleek black and shiny laptop which is sweeeeet and faaaassst and I love it, love it, LOVE IT! :D
