I got some more gift cards today.

$25 American Express Card
$25 Visa Card
$25 Micro Center Card
$50 Apple Card

With all these cards I made some decisions today. I took all the Apple Gift Cards and ordered a Canon Elura 100 camcorder. This one has a built in mic jack as well as a built in light that I can use anytime. After the Apple cards were applied, I only had to pay 59 bucks for the camcorder. Very cool. I know my current video camera is only about a year old but it doesn't have the features I really want and while I had the gift cards I thought it'd be a good time to upgrade. Another cool feature is that it records in wide screen. I'm not sure how I'd use that feature but I'll play with it when I get it and figure it out.

Almost all the other cards will be used for a gift for the boyfriend. I won't say what I'll get him (because he reads the blog) but his birthday is coming up next month and I know what he wants. Maybe I can do some shopping next week while he's gone. My holiday break has begun and I'm off until January 2nd. I really need the time off.

The boyfriend arrived safely in New Orleans this evening. I'm glad he got there okay. I'm already missing him but know he's enjoying visiting with his family.
