I've been shopping too. I've been bad... Oh so bad...

The guitar I've been drooling over for, like, 2 years, was half price today. And my second-choice amp was reduced as well (15% maybe).

You can see where this is going, right?

Yup - I put a deposit down on both of them (with a free lead thrown in!) and the total price is less than the guitar usually costs.

I have 3 months to pay it off. I have the money now, but I also have an exam on Tuesday, and figured taking the new toys home today would be a bad idea. :tongue

So I'll also be selling my current setup to get back in the "I have money to spare" camp.

Eek! I can't believe I spent so much money.

But I'm going to be insanely happy with this guitar. I tested it in the store, and aside from being too nervous to play properly (I don't normally play in front of people) it sounded awesome.

DG has online ordering, ac. Didn't know that and we go there all the time. We'll check it out. Thx. much for the info. :Cake:s for all!

Enjoy the guitar and amp and don't feel guilty, Cliff. Sometimes we have to treat ourselves nicely! :) That's my motto, anyway. :)

Yeah, it's a treat.

Of course, I keep meaning to save up for my own place. Granted, I can rationalise that without a steady income, I won't be able to get my own place anyway... But to spend so much of my savings in one go is pretty freaky.

I'm so not used to spending large sums of money!

I should have the guitar soon, but not until after my exam.

If you find you might order online, sign up for an account and their e-mails and then wait for a 20% off discount (they have them all the time).

The current discount is $10 off on a $50 order. The code is: SAVE10.

Congrats on the guitar, Cliff!! Well, when you actually get it. It can be a reward for how awesome you're going to do on your exam. ;)

Tru dat!

I know I'm going to ace at least half of the exam, because I know the material like the back of my hand. And the other half, I know most of it, but aren't as confident with it.

But on Monday (and Sunday night, I guess) when brother has gone back interstate, I'll be cramming my butt off with that other half. :)

Once I get the guitar, I'm going to try to play it a LOT, just to justify the expense as quickly as I can. How's this for rationalising?

My first guitar/amp package was less than half the cost of this new one. I played that first guitar only a little, for about 1.5 years. So if I play this new one a lot, it might only take a year before I've got the value of what I paid. :tongue

It has been too bad here so far, but it's getting there. Every week inching up toward the high 90s.

The high is suppose to be in mid-90s for the next seven days.

:hi: Good morning, house of hotties.


It's overcast and raining here. One of those days I wish I had a dryer. I've never bothered getting one as our climate doesn't really justify it - plus it's just my hubby and myself now. But brrrrr, and I have a whole pile of laundry to do. :(

But I have hot chocolate. :)

The dryer just buzzed. I guess that means I have to actually go do something.

:hi: Morning, all.

Those of you looking for coupon codes, go here. Great place for codes.

The girl had a sleepover last night. I'm exhausted. But there was a disco party, so that was fun. Hubby was not amused, so that was even funner.

That was a news segment just on TV about a sleepover. I'm not sure what it was about since I have the sound off; I'm guessing it's not good when your sleepover makes the morning news.

Today is car maintenance and spend my paycheck on car parts day. It keeps shuddering and trying to die, my son is going to change the fuel filter to see if that helps and he'll have to get me another tire because I'm riding on a donut.

fun, fun, fun

I have no pie!

Well, I have an unbaked one in the freezer.

I am going to the grocery store in a little while.

Well next time I'm going to ban guns, so that should help.

Tru dat! Bad luck seems to be drawn to me like flies on....sugar. :D
