Day 269-- The IRS aka The Spring Santa?


Is the IRS the Spring Santa?  Everyone around me is getting tax returns and suddenly brand new phones, tvs, and--if those twitches and a few too many "sick" days from one of my co-workers means anything--new cocaine.  Which makes me think I should update my Christmas list a little early.

Dear Santa,

I've been well these past few months.  Lots of nice and a little naughty *wink* and hopelessly broke thanks to $4.27 a gallon gas prices.  Now, if my tax returns give me back $1,000 or less you know me and my damned responsibility and all of that money will quickly go into savings, only to be used for my bi-annual car insurance or visiting the dentist. 

But.  But if I get over $1,000 I have a few things I would love all shiny and bright. 

1.) A new computer.  Maybe a Mac.

Oh this computer of mine.  Large.  Clanky.  Heavy.  Too big to fit into some backpacks.  Almost as ghetto as my flip-phone.  And now the power cord is spasing out so it will turn off every time I move my computer more than an inch, and/or sneeze.

2.) A netbook

I really have no need for an iPad, but I would love a netbook.  I write a lot and I'm not always home to use my ghetto clanky heavy lap top with no battery charge. A netbook could fit in my purse and go wherever I happen to be.



3.) A new camera with a good low-light lens

I take a lot of pictures and unfortunately this camera has such an awful flash it looks like my memories are being blasted with a police spot light.  I would like to have a camera where we all don't look like criminals.

4.) A telescope

No, I don't actually need one but I am a bit of star gazer and on new moon nights right on beach it would be lovely to view the stars in a better lens than my watery contacts.



5.) iPod wall speakers

I probably listen to music 1-2 hours a day, which is down from about 3-4 during the summer, and down from 5-6 during high school and college.  I love music, and it would be nice to have some rad-ass speakers instead of my iPod or computer all the time.

6.) Kitchen appliances I'll only use twice a year

Like a mixer, and slow cooker, and food processor, and knife sharpener.

7.) Louboutin shoes

Why not?

8.) A cute weekender travel bag

Because my normal backpack ain't the classy messege I'm going for these days.

Peace, Santa/Obama

I got a pathetic tax return :( lol...but I hope you get a good one so you can get one of those awesome things stated above. I'm a windows girl, but I really want a Mac also b/c I know it'll be more useful for career purposes.

I think I might have to buy a new computer since this one shuts off every 20 minutes or so. I'm looking at a pc Samsung since my past two HPs have had major issues with overheating.

I'm also thinking of taking a trip in Spring, possibility to WA to visit Amazon and the city of Seattle. I'm not sure if I truly want to move to the Northwest, but I want to at least visit to get a more solid opinion.

I have a Sony VAIO, I love it, it's a bit more expensive than some other PC's, but totally worth it. I used to have a gateway, which worked great, and my bro has a toshiba, which works great too. Don't know much about Samsung's, but haven't heard anything bad. I've heard probs with HP's before though. I think a trip to Seattle would be really good for you, visit DC too ;) hehe

Haha, you and DC. I definitely need to do an East Coast exploration at some point. And the South for that matter.

Saher said...

Yes, yes you do ;) yay! lol and you can stay with me of course! I'll show you the world...I mean DC...shining shimmering ....blah blah lol
