*Got a new hp laptop yesterday, I love it!

*Just got back Thursday from awesome vacation with the kids in Chicago. A new adventure every day. Lots of sights, lots of walking. Nathan actually said one of his favorite parts was when we got back to the hotel each night, climbed in my bed together, and watched TV. Funny they each had their own bed (it was a family suite) but they slept with me every night!

They used their beds for jumping and playing wii. smile

*Spent tonight at Amazing Pizza Machine, buffet plus arcade type place, for Nathan's birthday party. His birthday is not until 8/25 but his cousins from Des Moines were in town so we took advantage of the timing.


Between vacation, the new car, and the computer I am feeling a little guilt/buyer's nerves/whatever. I am not used to spending that much money in such a short time. But I am almost debt-free except the house, and should be entirely debt-free other than the house in the next 3-6 months so I need to relax. Being able to pay off my new car in 6 months time is going to be awesome... smile Thank you Dave Ramsey for the motivation! On one hand I felt like I should shelve all of the settlement money for a rainy day, but then I realized that if I have no credit card debt or car loan, then I will all ready be pretty well prepared for that rainy day.
