Today was the day we decided to celebrate my mom's 50th birthday....geez...is she really 50? I'm sure she's asking her self the same question right now. I still remember her 40th birthday when I was 12. I got her a book, Nicholas got her a cd, and Jeremy helped her buy a TV. She got a 30 inch HDTV. She just got a better paying job so she'll be making almost $8,000 more a year and since all of us take care of our selves (most of the time) she can save up. She really wants a flat panel that she can hang on the wall. Only problem with that is that they cost a few thousand dollars but she said that her and Jeremy will come back at x-mas and buy one after she has saved up enough money. I mean, hey I guess thats cool, its not like I, Jeremy, or Nicholas need that money now. It's her money.
And now a development in the iBook struggle....
We went to Fry's to look for a TV and after about 30min of keeping my mom company looking at boring TVs, I snuck away to the apple section to check out the iBooks. As I was there, Jeremy came up and I told him that I was saving up to buy one. Well little did I remember that he purchased most of the PC that I am using right now except for the keyboard/mouse, video card which is Travis', and the 120gig hard drive....and he wants them back. Now this is actualy fair game because he did buy them out of his own pocket and I guess its only fair that I give this to him if I get a new one. The down side? I can kiss my days of City of Heroes good bye for good including any hopes I had of playing City of Villians when it comes out next year. The only games I would really be able to play is Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Doom 3. This also means that my days of laning with Travis and the gang are pretty much over unless they play those games. Am I willing to make THAT BIG of a switch......YEP! I didn't need games before city of heroes and I wont afterwards either. I will miss them true, but it will be worth it in the long run. But there is good news about Jeremy finding out...he told my mom. Now why is this good you ask? Well my mom said she paid off my credit card today, which I didn't ask her to do by the way because I was paying it off fine with out her to start with. But that frees up $700 in credit.....hm...... this means that I could pay $700 in credit card and about $600 in cash and order this thing ALOT sooner than I had planned which is awesome!! I could actualy get this ordered by the end of August instead of the end of September! WOOT! Here's hoping......
