The I.T. Life

My tax return is coming soon so I’m going to use it to buy some new toys for the summer, help me get active. I’m going to MEC this week and picking up a nice pair of hiking boots, so that I get out more with SAR and stop complaining about my old work boots. Also going to Canadian Tire and getting a bike rack for my Jeep. A buddy of mine told me he wants to buy a bike and from that we are going out together and getting in shape. I’m going to get a bike rack to help us get where we want to go! I can’t wait!

I wanted to do a quick update on my wishlist. A lot of it came true one way or another, and the parts that didn’t are being taken care of.

• Under Armour: I got a great Under Armour Cold Gear hoodie, and a generic pair of thermal underwear.
• Thumb drive… No, and not gonna order one either. No real need, but I still drool over the Iron Keys.
• New Monitor… No, but I did order a Dell Inspiron XPS 9000 last week, (and a Mini 10, but thats not for me) and it comes with a free 23″ LCD. So, I gave myself this. But this was a good review gift, not, Christmas. Also, waiting on financing to be approved.
• Blue-Ray Player…. Yes Indirectly, Beth and I received a lot of Christmas money, so we bought a PS3. Hooray!
• Water Filtration, Stove, Watch.. No, No, No. However, MEC carries the watch I love now… so… well see what happens. If the computer falls through, I will probably go buy this.
• Headlamp… No, but MEC still carries the one I want, and I found a cheaper one that has great reviews, so, I may buy this next pay.
• Truck… No, and I’m actually starting to think a SUV is more practical, especially if we stay a single vehicle family. So I’m looking at the Nissan Path Finders, or possibly a Armada.
