Fighting the Urge

A few months ago, I was considering buying a new computer -- I thought I needed to upgrade to continue my freelance work. As I posted here, I found through further research that a new computer is not absolutely necessary at this point. I can get by longer with what I have.

However, for the past few days, I've been really wanting to buy one anyway. My home computer, purchased in 2006, cannot process everything online as it should. Most websites still display just fine, but just knowing that the day is coming when most websites will be too advanced for the software I makes me want a more current one.

Hopefully, this passes soon. I cannot afford one right now, especially since my husband and I know that our heating/air unit might not make it through the summer. Gotta fight the urge.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.
