After making that big ticket purchase of a laptop I started spiraling downhill  and am now on a massive shopping spree.  I'd liken this event to the book, "If you give a Mouse a Cookie."  How can you not start purchasing the extras for your new precious toy?  It started with a wireless laser mouse; then  I decided to buy a 4GB USB to back up my research. It continued with  the purchase of a 3-year accidental warranty from Best Buy (my track record with computers and the fact that lightening can cause power surges is a good reason for this).
I then took a stroll to the Illini Computer Center and purchased Microsoft Office 2007 and then thought, "hmmm....I also need Adobe Photoshop."  So I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 3.  Did I really need it?  No, but I love Photoshop and plus I now have Illustrator and Acrobat.
My laptop still needs physical protection so I am currently looking for a stylish neoprene case...
Yes, I have become "Lauren Mouse."  Cookies are now like crumbs and I am moving on to greener pastures and seeking multiple layered chocolate cakes filled with a decadent ganache.
