I can't believe I haven't posted in such a long time. I guess this thing has been keeping me hopping. Some days are good, and some are just exhausting. I will try to write more consistently.

I went to Sam's Club and Walmart on Black Friday to pick up a few things for the house. I saw price cuts on flat screen TVs that made me drool. I saw that sexy Ipod Touch, I saw a new laptop that I wouldn't mind having. What the heck? I'm catching a case of Affluenza, at the worst possible time.
