Naughty or Nice?
Naughty . . . definitely on the naughty list this year.
In a surprise move, my Chief of Justification cold-cocked my Chief of Common Sense (okay - not really . . . he actually led him into the back room where there was some sort of presentation that involved monthly payment charts and computer statistics) - and the long and short is . . . I got my new laptop.
I'm typing on my new laptop - and I'm not joking when I say it's literally a pleasure. It has a beautiful full-size keyboard with soft keystrokes, and I can barely concentrate on my actual Nano story because I keep getting lost in how it feels to type.
The good news . . . I LOVE my new laptop.
The bad news . . . I sprang for the $1,100 model in total disregard of my budget. (Chief of Justification: "That last statement is entirely untrue and should be stricken from the record, your honor. In fact, the budget was carefully considered and weighed in making the decision, and for a mere $5 extra a month, it made far more sense to get the computer that will last longer . . . and has an extended warranty.")
::sigh:: BUT I REGRET NOTHING!!!!!
Otherwise, I have 8,000 words to go - and a birthday party and a concert coming up tomorrow . . . so I best get back to putting the word count into my novel rather than my blog.
Cheers!
