Well I’ll lose an hour of sleep, but at least it won’t get dark at 3 o’ clock in the afternoon anymore, which gives me more time for geocaching!

Sunday also marks the last day I’ll be using this 8 year old computer too. My spanking new desktop rig should be arriving Monday, when I will then begin the process of migrating all my content over. Oddly enough despite 8 years of data, I haven’t accumulated much. It only took me a few minutes to transfer everything I had over to my external hard drive, which I’ll then move again to my new PC. Wheeeeeeee!

And soon I will have a new GPS addon for my iPod, and a new MacBook too! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Seriously, my thinking is I need to get all my out of control spending in now before the dollar completely loses its value. Amazingly enough, that checks off everything I had on my Blogging Badass Wishlist too, except for a leather jacket and a motorbike, but really let’s not kid ourselves here. A dweeb like me on a motorbike? Pffft. Maybe I’ll just rent one instead. I could go out and grab a leather jacket though, but I want the girl of my dreams to pick that out for me, which means I won’t be getting that either.

Sorry if I’m being dull today, there’s really not much going on in my life now except for the new computer coming in. I’m treating it as an investment that will help me get my creative juices going and market my blog, but also finally have fun playing the latest games too. Mostly I’ll be gaming though.

Since my money is tied up in getting these new toys, I won’t be able to travel anywhere for a while until May, when I’ll need to take my car in for the 60,000 mile service, and I sure as flipping floopwhocks am NOT gonna get it done here. The local service centers would probably put the engine in backwards (on purpose) and that would pretty much be the end of my beautiful ride. So instead, I’m going upstate to Kingston to get my car serviced there. Kingston has a service center with an excellent reputation, so if there’s a chance to avoid any headaches and get my baby nicely cleaned up, they’re my best bet. Afterwards I may head off to attend a major geocaching bash, but it’s a 6 hour drive from there, so I may opt to head to Lake George instead for the weekend. We’ll see!

Is my life exciting or WHAT? :-D
