My list has been revised...
The kindle dropped in price AND I got a dog sitting job so I was able to afford it, so I bought it and it is amazing. Now just have to get a case from it.
I'm deleting the Ipad currently, because of the bad reviews that are coming out, so I will wait and maybe put it back on when they have a new model out.
The Canon is still on:
Canon EOS Rebel X2i EF-S 18-55IS kit: 899.99 plus camera bad: $45.99 and Camera strap: $15.00 for a total of: 960.98
And finally the one that WILL take me 5 years to save for:Apple Macbook: 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, Apple protection plan, plus a case for it…*little squeaky voice* Ahem…1498.00
I am thinking of adding Rosetta Stone language programs to my list, because I want to learn different languages that can help me in the future. And because I want to travel a lot and knowing the language is always a good thing.
The U.S.A. made it to Round 16, it is great! Now if they can make it to the Quater Finals that would be amazing! My first pick is Italy but they didn't even make it out of their round so My picks are U.S.A., England, Uruguay, then Brazil.
Sam is doing well, he normally texts me when he gets off work (like 6 in the morning, I don't always reply...)

Hmm, I think I need to save more
So I was thinking of what I want on my 2-5 year wish list (yes I project that far) to save for. I realized I have expensive tastes…
I am thinking of starting at my cheapest one and working up to saving for the most expensive. I figure it will take me five years to get them all and since I’m always adding stuff to my short list there will always be a list.
Kindle 6” (Though I may wait because there is a new one rumored to come out in August). Price: $259.99 plus 2 year extra warranty $65.99 plus a cover $35.00 so a grand total of: $360.98
Ipad: $499.99 plus case $35.00 equals to: 534.99
Canon EOS Rebel X2i EF-S 18-55IS kit: 899.99 plus camera bad: $45.99 and Camera strap: $15.00 for a total of: 960.98
And finally the one that WILL take me 5 years to save for:
Apple Macbook: 4GB memory, 500GB hard drive, Apple protection plan, plus a case for it…*little squeaky voice* Ahem…1498.00
Like I said, I have expensive taste, but I figure it might save me money eventually, because the Kindle is a eBook reader and has cheaper books because there is no paper involved, hence I will spend less on books (though because of trying to save for this fall semester I have been frequenting the library to a crazy degree…I have read most of the romance and mystery books, now onto non-fiction…). The Ipad, because it doesn’t replace a laptop (not even close and I am aware of its drawbacks) will replace my portable DVD player (longer battery life and better quality plus it can do some other fun stuff but only at one app at a time) that I need to replace as it is on the fritz). The Camera because I have always wanted one…I LOVE to take pictures, though I am not good enough to take professional ones I still love capturing little perfect moments forever through a lens and a digital just can’t compare. Finally the laptop because it will be PORTABLE, don’t get me wrong I love my desktop but it hasn’t been the best for college life when I want to study or write a paper in weird places. I know, I will be done school in 3 years but I can dream that I might save enough to buy it before then. I am hoping to try to save $100.00 a month towards this goal but come spring time that won’t be possible because I will be student teaching and only working 7 hrs a week when I can squeeze it in. So I’ll only be bring in like $200 so not feasible. But I can dream right? That is my projected timeline, wish it was shorter but hey the life of a student right? I know I will have a “real” job for 2 of these 5 years but I will also be paying rent and other stuff instead of for school so I figure things will still be tight.
