Does My Face Look Swollen?

I woke up this morning at 4:45am to my new kitten walking across my face. Once I'm awake, I'm awake. So I have started some coffee and decided this would be a great time to blog. Everyone is sleeping (except for Jude the kitten), it's cool outside and the house is quiet. 

I am a cheap skate, or it is cheap scape? That's weird, I've never really thought about that word, lol. Why would it be skate? Anyways, I don't like to spend money and when I do spend money I am always looking for the best deal. Many times in my life this has come back to haunt me. 

 
Like the time that I picked up a "free" sofa sitting on the curb in a part of our town called Browne's Addition. It was a beautiful sofa in what looked like great condition. Long story short, I had to go to the E.R. with a swollen face. Some sort of allergic reaction to the bugs that lived in it. 


Or the time I bought a trampoline off of Craigslist for $10 because some of the springs were missing. And by some, I mean 12. 







Well recently I have been up to my old tricks. I just purchased a computer at a local Pawn Shop. Red Flag: If you are buying a computer from a lady missing teeth and has car grease packed into each one of her finger nails, you might want to reconsider. I bought this computer for considerably less money than buying it brand new. However, this thing runs like crap and although it looks bad ass it performs and has the memory of a 95 year old man. I get so frustrated with it that I just sit here and yell at it all day long. My wife and kids think I am losing it. All they hear is:

• "Oh you want to do THIS again, you son of a b*tch!!!"
• "Ok, ok I can do this all day you piece of sh*t!"
• "ARE YOU F*CKING SEEEERIOUS??!!"
• "No! Oh my God ok,ok, please don't do this right now.....please!!"

So I think I am going to go out and actually purchase a new computer. After all, I have that high blood pressure thing going on and I don't want to die at 43 years old sitting at my computer desk, clutching my mouse. I have so much more to do in my life, so many more web sites to visit.
