I had the bright idea this year that we should really treat ourselves. I don't know why. I don't even know where the idea came from. I tend to do that a lot, though, get an inclination in my head and just go with it instead of thinking things through. That's what my husband is for, however! I get the creative spark, and he figures out the logic to make it actually happen.
I thought this year we should get each other iPod touches for Love Day. A bit extravagant, maybe, but something I thought would be fun. Of course, technology-loving Keat jumped on the idea. As soon as the words "Hey, we should get iTouches (yes, I call them the wrong thing) this year!" left my mouth, I followed with "Actually, maybe not ... or maybe just you should get one, because I think they're kind of expensive". That's me, getting all excited but then realizing maybe we shouldn't do something because it (gasp!) costs money!! I am such a tightwad.
Anyway, Keaton thought it was a pretty good idea and, knowing I don't like to spend money, came up with a compromise. We would sell our regular old iPods online and use the money to put towards our purchase! Brilliant idea! Keat's pretty good at selling stuff online, so I'm pretty sure they sold the same day he listed them. He cleared everything off of our iPods and I took them the post office today. I hope their new owners are happy with them!
Selling our iPods gave us the right amount of money so we could each get an iTouch and still stay on track financially! These little babies are so cool and I can't wait to get started. No matter what I need (read: want) I'm sure there will be "an app for that"!
Happy Early Valentine's Day!
