Now what?

I bought myself a new toy last Monday.  Mister Man forced me to.  He threatened to buy it himself, but then he wouldn't have used my 15% off promotion code, and well, that would have been a travesty.  So he tricked me into buying.  Cornered me, really.

And here it is.  Merely days later.




Alongside The Redhead's costume that arrived a day earlier than projected.







Now what?

It arrived on Thursday....and I still haven't even plugged it in.





Perhaps you're asking the same questions I am.  What do I do with it?  Where do I start?  I wasn't prepared to own it already!  What if it gathers dust?




Sure, it was a great deal for a $300 toy.  Thanks to my pals at Overstock.com, I paid $195 due to the $229 sale price and a 15% code that's been hanging in my e-mail for a couple of months.  But that price isn't so awesome if I don't use it.  Right?



Then again, how many toys do people buy themselves every day and rarely use them?  And why do I feel so darn guilty for getting something for myself?  Something I've decided over the years could help me with crafts involving text, as I absolutely hate stenciling and painting after a while.  I'm going to use it, right?




Sure I will.  Eventually.  Just as soon as I figure out how to use it.  Someday.  It hasn't stopped the cat from already taking over the boxes.

 As for The Redhead's costume, well, you'll just have to wait....
