so, today, 2 words were uttered in the same sentence to me... words i didn't think were possible to exist and live together in harmony...
"loan" and "approved"...
see, they (the folks here at work) want me to be able to work from home a couple of days a week... unfortunately, the budget doesn't really allow for a new system to be bought specifically for use in my home... and the dial-in service that everyone connects to the company email/server/etc with doesn't work on the mac i have...
what does this mean?
it means erin is paying off her car and buying a kick ass PC in one fell swoop - all while establishing credit (i mentioned to you before that my credit was shot down in a pool of cold blood when i was 19... all because i was hungry, roaming around the mezzanine at college and VISA was wooing unsuspecting kids with giant bags of gummy bears...)
i am going to give my mom my macintosh and set it up for her down there... i think it'll be good for her (just have to erase all the porn i downloaded on it)
so, look below at what i am going to purchase once the cash is in hand
