I'm going to have an affair...

...with my NEW LAPTOP! Ha!

I will now shamelessly plug the DELL online outlet store, which sells three different types of heavily discounted laptops: previously ordered new, certified refurbished, and scratch & dent.

Previously ordered new: someone ordered a computer and then sent it back for some reason, like it was the wrong color.

Certified Refurbished: laptops with a little cometic damage.

Scratch and dent: laptops with a little more cosmetic damage.

Of course, these are my definitions and not Dell's--but please note all damage is cosmetic, meaning the actual computers are still intact and fully functional.

So Q and Munchkin were at my house last night, along with Q's mom. Mr. B had been out of town for a week so he bought me flowers. I felt guilty because we then proceeded to totally trash our living room with sewing and birdseed projects. Mr. B, who is normally incredibly stressed about messy situations, was just really cool about it--he told me not to worry about it that night and we would "just clean it up tomorrow."

Then today I was talking about all these great deals through the Dell outlet store and I found this Studio 15, Midnight Blue, 320 GB SATA Hard Drive, 3 GB memory, ATI 3450 video card, built in webcam, Windows Vista Premium, Microsoft Office complete package, hot and sexy laptop.

I look at Mr. Borealis and ask him to guess the price. He guesses correctly at about $1200. I tell him THIS sexy laptop is only $650 because it's previously ordered new and customized. I bat my eyes and jokingly ask if he'll buy it for me.

He says "sure."

Yeah. So check out the great deals here.
