Lack of Gusto...
I'm having a HUGE lack of motivation tonight to work on projects! I could have easily been working on things that aren't nearly as important and put off the projects that are really important. I think I'm having a bad case of ADHD, OCD, WTF...or something...not sure what it is!
Mom and Dad are in the market for a new television...I'm pretty sure Big Bertha is just gonna die one of these days. They've had the thing since 2003-ish and have had it repaired once. Now it gets to the point where it will take 5...10...20...45 minutes...up to an hour...before the thing will finally brighten up and it's making a horrid, high-pitched noise. I have to admit, even though the thing weighs a ton-and-a-half (it's a TruFlat CRT), it has a great audio and video...but it won't last forever. For when they get a new television, I got put in charge of the connections and technical aspect of it. Looking at what connections they have on their devices, I decided it would be best if they mainly went with HDMI hookups. Looking around at Wal-Mart the cables are all fairly expensive, so I went online to the place I use most and found some cheap! Even though they aren't name brand (who cares anyway?) they had a 5 out of 5 rating based on 700+ reviews. Two cables (with shipping) were less than half the price of only one cable at Wal-Mart...that's what I call bargain shopping!
I stepped outside earlier and took some pictures of the vines that were growing along the back edge of the yard. The ones in the picture below were growing from the tree. I'm not sure exactly what type of vine this is, so I didn't get close...
I was proud of myself because I had bargain shopped for HDMI cables, but I was also proud of myself for finding some good deals on Saturday when I went shopping for some new clothes. I H-A-T-E...SHOPPING...FOR...CLOTHES (WITH A PASSION!)...but I was happy with the bargains I found. I managed to come home with a new button-up shirt, two under shirts, a new pair of shorts, a pair of dress pants and a new pair of flip-flops...and they were all on sale. I liked the button-up I found, so I ordered more like it online...which were on sale also...and ordered some new t-shirts from Ecko...AND they were on sale too! Productive shopping...at a reasonable price...I can handle that. Makes shopping a little less painful.
