shopping and salivation

Good News! Today I went shopping at my new favorite place - Bridgeport Shopping Center in Tigard (that's the place we met your airline friends, Dad). It's So Amazing it's probably better that it takes a while to get there...relative to how close Clackamas Town Center is to my house. Anyway, there's J.Crew, Banana Republic, a fun Container Store...And the best thing - APPLE STORE!!!! Yippeee! I love the apple store! Today I spent an hour in there salivating over all the things I wish I could buy and can't afford...mostly the new powerbooks. There's supposed to be a new update in january or february possibly with the new Intel chips so I think I might buy a new computer after the first batch comes out with whatever problems may arise. I don't have time to be an early adopter and deal with any little bugs the first intel powerbooks might have. My computer now still works but the screen is messed up and for a brief time, one of the usb ports didn't work and in february, it will be 4 years old. And I can still get the education discount with my tulane id...I wonder where I put that thing. Actually, I would probably order it online since I'm going to customize it with a bigger and faster harddrive and more ram. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the silver colored keys but overall it looks like a great product. Oh and I also might buy a new PDA with my $500 of CME money. I'm waiting to see any updates next spring since I have the whole year to use that money plus the $100 from Compusa cause they initally ripped me off when I had my old ipod replaced with the one I have now. So far buy.com has the cheapest price and I also have a $15 off coupon to use but it expires on Dec 15th. I wish I were rich so I could buy these things sooner.

Anyway, I got a lot of christmas shopping done today so it was a big accomplishment for me considering I was post call today (i got a decent amount of sleep in last night)
