SubscribeMy budget is still ironing out, some unexpected bills (2x Cable & Cell, with a busy month last month forgot to pay!) but with money trickling in, and other standing bills to pay off it leaves me waiting for a while on a few purchases I’d like to make.
Sony E. Z600
Why? I have always loved flip phones. I had previously won this on the cheap on a eBay auction, that went horribly wrong. Got the money back though, but still no deal that good seen yet, closest is MyWorldPhone – it’s only $239 with 2 day shipping upgrade.
When? Its not a must, my T68i still works, but is not very easy to hold on the bike path, and its BT compatiblity with my Jarba headset is so-so.
17 inch LCD Monitor
Why? Space & Less Heat. It would be so nice to even hang the monitor on the wall and give me even more space and I could use this 17inch old CRT as a TV monitor on my media box (Linux running tvtime/xmms/xine on Fedora Core2)
When? Not cheap, but good deals now and again, if Newegg.com ever returns to offering their Credit I will snag one and pay it over 3 months – lot easier to digest on my budget.
Digital Camer (4mp or better)
Why? Wedding. Nuff said. My sister gets hitched in March, by March I plan to have a MiniDV camcorder for taping the wedding and fun ebarassing statements from guests 
As well as a nice camera with hopefully either a XLR type so I can use some lenses I have -OR- a nice 10x optical zoom on some of the new Minotal’s – Sony I believe it was had a Dual slot for memory, Memory Stick & MMC/SD! That would be sweeet!
When? Before March. Camera I am hoping for sooner, I want to go to the lake and Hart Park as well, take some nice outdoor shots as fall / winter approaches – been pondering the upcoming county fair, but I dunno how many people would be excited about drunk cowboys.
Apple iPod
Why? I lub music. And being a iTunes user it’d be nice to drag those along and now hafta constantly make mix cd’s for the car, plus there’s ways to snag off the iPod files -> Mp3 I have heard, so it’d if nothing else make MP3 CD making easier.
When? lol never probably. If business REALLY picks up (which I hope it does) maybe it’ll be the first gift to myself and my employee.
If only the budget was fixed now, if only every client had paid their invoices, if only if only, so many if’s in life lately – but hey I can’t complain, once I spurce up the last pile of my room’s books (too many books!) I’ll snap some shots of the office setup, its kinda shanzzy – and I have added a mixer to my setup, lets my iBook & Linux Media box use the same set of 2.1 speakers – very spiffy and uber nerdish
But for now all things aside, what I have works, what I need can wait a bit, budget should settle out by years end with all debits paid, and money to spare, looking at maybe 3-6 month CD to get some higher intrest on some of the extra money I hope to have from the business, and after it comes out and the money earned will go towards a new office and staff, this next year will definately rock! Hoping by end of next year to have at least 1 employee, which is expensive (health benefits, insurance, office space, yada yada yada) but I think in the long run two people monitoring things, will give me time to rest now and again more so than usual.
Anywhooo thats my ramble for now, off to enjoy a Sunkist Orange soda & some chewy chips ahoy! (I splurged at the grocery store tonight!)
mmm…chewy chips ahoy and Sunkist orange soday. You’re really living!
That’s a sweet wish list…*wants everything too*. Hopefully in time you can get some of that stuff.
take care!:)
