97. Buy a new Mac

I am apparently an airhead (or pregnant!), because I completely spaced that shortly after documenting all of my goals, Kris and I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new computer!!

We went the refurbished route--so far Apple has never failed me on this. So we got lots of wonderful computer with the Apple warranty at about 20% off. Hooray!

Did I mention that it's *beautiful*...?

94. Give something away on FreeCycle

Today is day one of one-thousand and one, so I started off by making my first offer on FreeCycle.

We are moving from Murray to Springville and I am giving my couch away to any lucky person who wants it! I hope that I'll get a response, since I have until the end of June to get everything cleared out. If I don't get anyone's attention on FreeCycle, I'll be donating it to DI, which helps chip away at my goal (#92) of donating 101 things to DI.

Yay for me, though (hee hee)! My first goal is in process...or attempt anyway! :D
