New Years, Birthday,Skateing and all in one

New Years Eve / My Birthday
Sarah made me a chocolote cake. It was all organic, not a soft as the crap filled cake mixes but still very good. Thanks baby! She also ordered me a ring with the element skateboard companies logo on it. It's not like I am a big Element supporter but its hard to find a ring with a tree on it that looks cool. Sarahs parents also gifted me with a amazon gift card for $40. I am on this kick that I need an MP3 player. I dont want, ok I cant afford a 40gig mp3 player. i will not use the thing a ton right now so I dont want to spend to much but I do want a decent one. RIO had a 128mb player that ou can expand on with flash cards up to 1 gig. Thats my target. If I come across some lost BD money maybe I'll go for it. My parents didnt call to wish a happy birthday...odd.
Everybody fell asleep so I played SSX Tricky and woke Sarah up for a kiss at midnight.

The search for an all-in-one-printer
we decided to through the $50 from g-mom into a printer-copier-scanner. I was looking at pricewatch.com and saw the lexmark for @48 shipped. The more i read though the more I noticed that none of them came with ink. The ink is like 30 bucks more. So we abondond that idea and went to look at best buy. They all seemed @$100 and up. Thats to much. We are planning on selling our current Scanner and printer to make up anything over the $50. So then we went to Walmart and Circuit City. As a last ditch attempt I stopped at the new Office Depot. i walked in and started down the row seeing the regular $100+price tags. Then at the end of the row I saw a sale item, HP1315 for $78 normally $98. Whoo hoo. I took up the box and it rang up at 98. I had to go back and show the manager the sale slip. He grabed it up and I heard him aying that it ended yesterday under his breath. Good for me! He still gave it to me. Now we just have to try to manage 30 bucks from the old printer and scanner...which after some research might not happen. At least we can just use the main PC to scan now and it will free up some rome on the desk. The emachine is haveing some problems anyway.

Skatepark
i skated today. i got soem little fakie slides in. It was lsow today, signs that all the visting college kids had gone back to school and that regular school were back...the holidays are over.

We are taking the Nissan in to have the gas smell checked out, that should be the next major drama.
