I was finally able to get a new PC for the family.  Michelle needed something a little faster to help with her digital scrapbooking.  I settled on a  dell quad core machine.  So far it seems pretty good, thought I think Michelle is experiencing some growing pains, having previously been on a mac for a while, and now having to adjust to some of Vista’s quirks.  But I didn’t have the extra cash for a Mac, as this pc was only $500 after the discounts I found online.  I sold some old stuff on eBay and was able to make the 500 and then some, so essentially it’s like I got a free upgrade.

I’ve actually liked selling old junk on eBay… probably because somewhere inside I hate to throw things away, telling myself "but it’s worth something."  Well at least this way I get to realize some of that worth monetarily, and at the same time I am uncluttering myself.  Michelle would probably say I’m still far too cluttered, and I am still a pack rat at times, but I am trying to get better about that.
