Monday we went shopping for some new needed clothes and came away from the mall with those and some things that weren’t quite needs, but were good deals and will be useful (nice new pleather coats for both of us).
Tuesday and Wednesday were crazy at work. Crazy. (And the crazy will return Tuesday morning, bright and early.)
Wednesday evening, I went out and bought a new cord for my mp3 player (it was an old Zen that I’d bought refurbished). I connected it to my computer and ripped a few cds and started synching. I then got off the computer, but left the Zen synching and charging. Next morning, it wouldn’t turn on. I thought maybe that when the computer had gone to sleep, it had stopped charging and started using it’s battery. So, I “woke” the computer and left it to charge. But even though it showed it had power (the buttons lit up) it never turned on. I tried to reboot the computer to get it to re-recognize the device. No luck. Now, it wasn’t even registering getting power from the computer. My Zen was dead.
We ran out to CostCo to get me a new one. But CostCo had sold out a few days before. Off to Target. Our Target (which is NOT a small store) claimed they were too small a location to carry anything other than iPods, which I didn’t want. So, Best Buy it was. (Have I told you the story of why we try to avoid Best Buy?) I got a new Sanza mp3 player, and am quite happy with it.
I had just a little bit of time to get the music I wanted on it and then go get on a plane to FinCon. FinCon was awesome.
C may or may not have spent money while I was gone. I did spend money, but only the cash I had planned to spend.

I’m not listing the goals this week, because there wasn’t much progress on any of them. Other than my “be healthier” which I did mostly good on. I walked both Tuesday and Wednesday at work. I walked 2 miles Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings before the conference started. I wrote down everything I ate, but I doubt I made my calorie count any day. Saturday especially was bad. I had a Coke and 4 pieces of pizza.
And I paid for it. I felt awful Sunday morning. But I got up and walked and then went and got myself a yogurt smoothie.
