YAY!! LAPTOP!

I really do have the best boyfriend ever! He's so good at finding deals & doing research online. You should see the gym he has set up at his house... with real, legit GYM equipment. Not home gym, I mean, pay a fee and workout AT a gym... that type of equipment. And he scored BIG TIME on the deals he got! It was just completely unreal!

SO when I needed my new laptop, and started getting more and more frustrated at NOT having one, I put a challenge to him. Since he's SO good at finding deals, did he think he could find a good deal for me on a laptop? I didn't want much... internet and pictures. That's all I use it for. Once and a while if I bring work home, but not often.

That was less than a week ago! The beginning of this week I asked him about that, saying how good he is at things like that. And he's been finding deals for days! Thursday he sent me a link to one, but I wasn't sure after reading some reviews on it. Then yesterday he sent me another one. Last night he showed me the reviews for it on his phone.

Then, after dinner, we headed into the store in Cambridge. $400 later, I have a faster, lighter and better laptop than I had before! I'm not kidding... WITH tax, it was under $410! It was $379.99 for this computer and I LOVE it.

After we got back to his house, he started getting it set up for me and overnight the battery charged. When I got home this morning (borrowing his bag to bring it home safely), I couldn't connect to my network and was stuck. He looked it up on his computer and talked me through all the steps. And here I am... online, at home, on my new laptop!

I really do have the best boyfriend ever. :)

And not even just this. He's just a great guy. Things are so good. I'm happy. I'm happy with him, with us, with our relationship and with where things are at. What we have works for us. I don't see him every day. And I appreciate that he needs some space... so do I. I was SO happy to be home on Thursday night, sleeping in my own bed, alone, and Friday morning just waking up. No alarm, no nothing. Just slept until I woke up. That was GREAT!

Things are just really great.

Today I'm heading up to mom's for a bit... need to get my butt in gear for that. Plus stopping at the bank to toss money from my savings into my checking... since I just spent $400 last night! And tonight we are heading back into Boston. I want to buy a few more Christmas gifts at the Alex and Ani store on Newbury, but I want to get into Newbury before Thanksgiving for that. And that will cut a HUGE amount off of my shopping list! VERY excited about that one.

I still have lots of things I want to spend money on, and buying a laptop wasn't exactly on the budget, with the classes I want to take and Christmas. But bills are paid, and all up to date, money for xmas is set aside and I had extra in the savings account to cover this.

I'm hoping mom with agree to cover some of the classes I want to take for xmas gifts for me. I need to register for those sooner rather than later to make sure I have a spot in all of the classes I want to take. Monday I will have to make the phone calls for those. Plus, I am going to have to take First Aid and CPR before the classes too.

Lots on my mind, lots going on in a million directions but life is good and I am very happy with it all! :)
