19th day, $19K.

Tonight I've been working on some fun stuff for work, but I think I have time to spend the $19,000 deposit I made a few days ago. (Prosperity update: I did get an unexpected $75 in AmEx Gift Certificates and two tickets to see Conan O'Brien. Although I did totally screw up my finances by paying my mortgages seperate. I'll have to go back to the old way.)

First on the list is a new laptop. One with a battery that holds a charge and a K key. One that is lightweight and offers me true laptoppy freedom but with a lot of power. I don't really don't know exactly what I need or want, but I'm going to budget $2500.

And I want some sort of funky desk for my laptop and home office. I'm having some trouble coming up with what I want. Sleek lines, room for Spidey to sit, but not imposing. And I really can't find it, so I guess it will have to be custom made. I'll budget $3000 for a custom home office with great lines, lighting, and Spidey space.

So now I have $13,500 to spend. What can I do with that?

How about an engagement ring? (Yes, I know. I don't have a boyfriend, but when I do have a boyfriend he will know what ring I want. From Tiffany's. Thanks for the inspiration Diane!) It is a platinum solitare for a measley $1730.

And as long as I'm buying beautiful things. Why not this necklace? Diamonds and platinum. Holy cow! It uses the rest of the mony, save a few dollars. A mere $11,500.

I'll take it. Beutiful jewelry. Why not? It doesn't all have to be mortgages and diet soda, does it?
