It's not our fault...

but perhaps we were an accomplice.

Let me preface this story by saying that if you are not serious about making a big purchase, do not bring the idea up around us...because we will act on it!

It happened to uncle Kirk when he told us he wanted a digital SLR camera...next time he came to our house, we spent his money and got him exactly what he needed (well, what WE thought he needed anyway!)

It happened again this weekend. Eric's grandparents thought they were going to go to the Farmer's market...instead they went home with a new laptop and ALL the accessories!

They brought the idea up of getting their first computer about a month ago. Of course Eric and I thought it was a great idea and were ready to go shopping! They held us off and told us the next time they visited, we could help them look.

Eric and I totally forgot about the conversation until we were eating supper with them Friday night and we were figuring out what to do on a rainy Saturday. Then it came to me...we NEED to go computer shopping! There is no turning back now!

An idea, some moolah, and a trip to Des Moines later, we got them set-up with a brand spankin' new laptop! Grandma may have just turned 70 but she is ready to rock and roll...wi-fi is the next on her list of things to get set-up!

Honestly, I have never seen anything further from buyer's remorse than I did this weekend! They were so giddy about the laptop, it was SO much fun to help them make this purchase!

The moral of the story is that you can never say we didn't warn you...don't tell us you are ready to make a purchase unless you really are...because we'll have your money spent before you know it! :) We have a severe weakness for technology and can't resist the opportunity to purchase!
