I treated myself to a few "gifts" this year and I just feel like sharing them with you all. In no particular order they are:
- A new phone:
My first official gift was a Samsung Captivate I bought a few days before Xmas at Radio Shack. And let me tell you what it was a bargain. Considering that the phone generally goes for $199 (who are we kidding it's really $200, don't try to hide it by not charging the extra dollar) I felt it was a steal at $50. Now, I know that those that know me, are aware that I'm an Apple fan. However when you are short on money and you simply cannot afford those extra $150 then you compromise and join the android bandwagon for $50. After I've had the phone for a slightly longer time I'll update you on my opinions on Android and my phone in particular. Still let me tell you that things are going well, I like the phone overall and it's a pretty nifty piece of tech (a worthy upgrade from the Samsung Blackjack II I had before).
- A clean (well somewhat cleaner) Gmail inbox
I've been procrastinating and I haven't processed my email as I should have. So I took some of my Xmas time and read/archived almost all of it.
- A haircut
Aaahh... Yes we're close to New Year's so that means I need to face the 2011 with a new, fresh, positive, cleaner, organize way. What would represent all these things in a simple fashion? How can I do it? Simple. We get a weed whacker, and cut several pounds of hair out of my head. Actually I'm joking. We don't need a weed whacker anymore. That was for when I had my hair all the way down to my waist.
- A pair of "new" shoes
In reality I didn't buy new shoes. My tastes on dress shoes tends to be a bit more expensive that what I can afford on cellphones. In other words if I were to buy shoes it would cost more than $50 bucks. But really, the dress shoes I had were fine, except for one tiny thing. The soles were falling off. So I went to a shoe repair place today and For a measly $11 I had them glued and stitched together. Plus, I had them shined.
So up to now these are the gifts I got for myself. I'm debating wether or not getting a pair of earbuds and a cover for my cellphone this season as well. Either way I'll update you (probably through Twitter) if I do get any extra stuff. I hope you all have some awesome holidays (here we still have until "las Octavitas" so the festivities are still going strong) and may the New Year bring you all the good things you deserve.
