Must Have Been Tired

It is amazing what ten hours of sleep can and cannot do. I still was tired after my second round of five this morning. My first round of five was accidental. After work The One and I wanted to take an uninterrupted nap. And boy did we. We did not wake up until 1030; a bit problematic when you consider we still need to eat and go to bed. We worried BoBo in the process. I was supposed to work with him last evening on my audition songs and when I did not answer my phone, which was on silent, he began to worry. He tried to contact The One, her phone was on silent. Apparently he checked to see if any CR-Vs had gotten into a wreck. Sorry BoBo, I did not mean to worry you.

After calming BoBo down, The One and I got out of bed. The TV had been left on from earlier and was showing Batman Begins, one of my favorite Batman movies. We plopped on the couch well rested, hungry and thirsty. At 1040, our options were slim to none. I cooked up some popcorn for the movie and called it square. The One ended up back in bed as I finished out the movie.

With each passing moment I spend in front of my TV I begin to wonder if I should upgrade. The idea was planted in my head when I convinced a young man that he could easily afford a TV that was on sale just earlier this week. I apparently I convinced myself I could as well. Now I find myself trying to convince myself that it is largely a want and not a need. That there are many needs that should be fixed before I even think of this want. But then I look at my 27" CRT bubble screen TV that I have had for six years and my want returns to mind.

I know that I will end up passing on the TV. I have more important things to worry about after I take care of the mortgage and bills. As much as I have tried to be financially responsible I still slip up and need a swift kick in the butt. I decided that will be hyper-aggressive in paying off my credit card. It has been jacked-up due to having to fix my car and I have been very lackadaisical in paying it off. That is a need. My bank has increased the APR to nearly 25%, just plain ridiculous. It will not be pretty over the next few paychecks but it will be nice to receive my income tax next year and be able to keep it or use it for wants instead of paying off credit debt.

And then it ends,
