I managed to avoid buying anything for Valentines. My boyfriend just reads the card and throws it out. Oh well. He's on a diet too, so no candy for him.

Even with that I managed to spend $50 yesterday. $30 on food and $20 on gas. Atleast both will last me over a week. I probably won't be spending anything till lunch on Friday and for some upholstery work Friday night.

The new laptop arrived yesterday! It is really really nice. It's not top of the line, but has a 15" screen and it's a bit heavy, but not to worry, I'm a weekend laptop person, so I won't be hauling it everywhere. So back to the story. Well we set it up and were checking it out, when the nifty little "Wireless connection found" bubble popped up. No neither one of us has the internet at home. It's really not worth $50 for broadband to surf. I can't handle a dailup anymore. I also do have a phone line. Anyways, I clicked on the link to connect to one, and lo and behold, there was 1 secure (bummer) and 1 unsecure!!! (Bonus). The signal was a bit weak, but not bad. So I walked around the house to see what else I could pick up. I managed to find 3 other secure networks, and 3 unsecure! Well stupid them, but great for us. We figured one might be from the Barnes and Nobles down the street, but we have no idea on the rest. That'll be nice to surf any time I feel like it. Only sad thing is that we're not logging into a secure site, so no finanacial transactions, it's not worth the risk.

Another side note, I transfered over a Roth IRA from a CD at a bank to another company. I had to do the 60 day rollover check and to snail mail it over. Well I was a bit worried, not enough to send it certified. But it arrived in my account today and I've already put it to higher earning mutual funds. I almost feel like I'm going to be rolling in dough...well almost...
