Day 18
My sunglasses broke this morning. Annoyed. They were just fine last night, and I picked them up today and it just came apart. A while ago, Sandisk and Adorama had some great prices on their Extreme IV CF cards. They required rebates, but I generally don’t mind those and don’t have problems with them. So far, this time seems no different. This rebate, though, was in the form of a Visa debit card, that expires 3/09. That’s really not too much of a problem for me. I immediately used it to buy myself an Amazon gift certificate which will just sit in my account until I decide to spend it. Amazon credit is as good as cash for me. I placed two orders with these rebates, so I should have another $160 card coming, too. Maybe I’ll spend some of that money on a new pair of sunglasses. Dammit. |

Sunglasses count as clothes.
This is why I always buy the cheapest sunglasses possible. This summer, I stocked up on a bunch that were in the bargain bin for $1 apiece. Okay, my stylishness suffers, but by GOD I always have sunglasses!
My condolences on your loss, though.
