I have been trying so hard to figure out something to get my little brother for Christmas. It wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t want all of the expensive things in life! Of course the other day he did say he thought it would be cool if we went into a depression, so maybe he doesn’t want anything for Christmas then right? A girl can hope, but I don’t think he thought that comment though, so I have been looking around a lot at what is for sale online and in the stores and I’m not finding a whole lot, so this morning I decided to check my favorite site, buy.com and see if they had anything.

I did find something that may be useful to him and his friends it’s a two way radio for when they head out into the woods behind our home. His friends all have cell phones, but my mom won’t let him have one until he either gets a car and a job or when he’s 18. I think it would be a great gift for him and at the same time it would be something very useful. I am trying very hard this year to get things that are useful to everyone, not just nice frilly stuff. So far I’m doing a good job, we’ll have to see how long that last.

Today I was looking once again at buy.com and found the computer I was originally going to get, the hp pavilion dv9925 with a 17 inch screen and web cam. Instead I bought the 15 inch version because it was 600 dollars not 900 dollars and I love it but now of course buy.com has the 17 inch one for about 600 dollars. It’s exactly like the one I have, just bigger and better. I miss my numbers on the right side and it would be nice to have them back. I may one day get another laptop just so I have 2, one for home and one for travel, yes this is crazy I know. That would be me though and if I can get it on sale then it’s even better!

I’m finding I’m slowly turning into a computer geek who loves not only finding great deals online, like at buy.com, but I have even started takeing apart computers and trying to rebuild them. Thats the other thing I like about this bigger computer, it has more memory on it. At least now I know how to change and add memory to my laptop, I know it’s not that hard but just 3 years ago I would not have even thought of doing it myself. Knowing me I’ll probably find a great deal on memory at buy.com, after I upgrade it.
