Planning on Our Trips
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
Since both ‘Pup and I are both going to Spring Fling, we are probably going to want to blog it as it happens. Plus, ‘Pup has discovered the wonderfulness of not being tethered to a desk while being on the web. He’s at a desk all day. He’d rather be almost anywhere else but a desk after work.
So, I’ve been on the lookout for good items on sale. We’ve already got some extra data storage devices (’Pup is addicted to collecting them!), and we’ll both have cameras, and so… we’ll be on our way to documenting a trip as we’ve never documented it before.
What we don’t want to do is fight over the laptop. Really, we don’t.
So, looking around, I found THIS. It’s cheap (under $300), and small, and looks to be, well, not the fasted computer in the world, but more than we need for blogging, pictures and email. I like getting a good price on something. I’m cheap. Not easy.. but cheap.
Okay, maybe not “not easy”, and maybe not “cheap”. A girl has to be a LITTLE high maintenance, if only for herself. I spent most of my life being the one who put off things in order that others could go first, or have something I wanted, but they wanted too. Classic oldest child syndrome, we take care of everyone but ourselves. ‘Pup has taught me that I’m worth taking care of too.
And that, dear friends, is the sign of a good relationship. Both members in the partnership want to take care of each other, and to make them feel that being taken care of isn’t self indulgent, but something you are worthy of…any thing else in a relationship and things get out of balance.
