erica's joys :)

I'm SO traumatized. My laptop upped and died this weekend. My iPod decided it liked how my laptop did things and followed suit. I fly to Chicago tommorow. The boredom I am going to endure as a result of these occurences is going to be immense. The laptop issue should be solved fairly shortly. The iPod is another matter. I'm going to listen to what Apple says about what to do if my iPod won't turn on but I'm not holding out a lot of hope.

Anyhow, I arrived home safely from Pittsburgh on Friday (obviously) and I must say the Pittsburgh airport is quite impressive. I think if I have to have a layover anywhere, it may just be Pittsburgh. Why? Because the Pittsburgh airport has a mall inside the terminal. Apparently the same thing is included in Thurgood Marshall and Logan International airports. I guess layovers at those airports wouldn't be so bad either.

Moving on, today I resolved to start saving. Yes, its a little late but better late than never. I signed up for that Keep the Change thing that Bank of America has going. I also set my bank account to transfer some money to my savings account every 2 weeks. This may not seem like much to some of the people who read my blog, but to me, its a big deal. I want to be able to send my kids (if I'm ever blessed with them) and nieces/nephews to college one day. This is just a step towards that.

Meanwhile, back to laundry, I have to go to the airport tommorow at 8:30 am and I haven't packed anything. I need to not procrastinate so much.
