With moving to Kansas just around the corner – literally it’s next week, most likely around August 14th/15th – I’ve been looking at a lot of ads and such for items that I may need. Most of those items include household things like pots and pans, cups and plates, towels and bedsheets; items that are just…kind of boring but very much needed.

On the other hand, I’ve also been eyeing some other items that aren’t necessarily a need, but a want. One of those items is an Apple MacBook, which I’ve had my eye on ever since I got to use Alan’s back in December for the first time. I have never owned a laptop and it will definitely come in handy when I go back to class, however, I’ve never had the funds to be able to afford one much less one that I really want. I’ve mentioned wanting a laptop to everyone at some point in time over the past year, but have yet to receive one or purchase one. I am hoping that sometime before or shortly after classes start, I can convince my dad to buy me one or at least help pay for one – he asked me the last time I visited what it was that I wanted and I showed him, so I know he’s had it in the back of his mind…now is the perfect opportunity to get one.

The other electronic that I’ve had my eye on is a new point and shoot digital camera. I’ve owned two different cameras within the last three years, one of them managed to go missing and the other I got as a replacement for the missing one for Christmas. My mom has taken over ownership of the camera we currently have and I always tease her saying that it’s her camera every time she says it’s mine…she uses it the most and keeps it with her for work purposes. There isn’t any particular camera I want, although I’m more apt to lean towards the Canon brand because I’ve worked with their cameras before; perhaps a Canon Powershot will do the trick.
