Why doth they tempt me?

Even as I try so hard to not give into another contract these guys try to throw things in my path. It sucks because this phone looks so awesome and has great features. *Sigh* but I'm beggining to have concerns about being so connected. I feel like it's getting out of hand. It's not like I don't have internet at work or home so why on my phone too? The basics are alright. I don't want to be any more hooked and addicted than I am now.

My dad is always freaked out by the information you can find off the internet. He's very old school...and private. He uses cash to pay for gas. Never a credit/debit card. I learned to do the same too after a couple of incidents where they took out way more than what the meter said only for the clerk to tell me it's a reasurance that the money is in there. Wtf.... My account never bounced but that mode of thinking makes no sense to me. NONE!

So I use cash from now on to pay for gasoline. Every pay day I fill her up. I typed in his name and our address popped up along with possible family members. Once again, if someone is looking for you hard enough, they can find you. But this is beside the point. The main point I'm trying to make is the market makes it so so hard to say no. Then the pay-as-you go plan isn't as extensive, or at least the coverage map makes it appear to not be as reliable as the contract coverage. That's messed up. I want reliability and a prepaid service. Another way to force people into signing off on the dotted line.

I've got to slow down. I'm trying to buy so many things at once. I just got my yarn today from Yarn.com. They had an end of summer season sale. Good quality yarn I needed for my next project for steep discounts. I ordered a HP USB keyboard ($10!!!) off ebay for my console along with some more yarn (yellow I needed to knit my cousins Jamaican hat) and stitch markers (just because. I can only keep using paper clips for so long). The items on ebay cost $25, including shipping and handling. I feel like I made a killing. But this is the purpose of ebay: cut out the middle man. Can't wait to add to my star ratings.

So for my impending tv purchase, I'm gonna wait for the major price dropped I'm expecting around November. I hope my current one can last that long.

I may be going to yoga for the first time tomorrow in... forever. I hope I don't chicken out because I won't know anyone there. But peope in yoga tend to be pretty zen.
