Is This Crazy?


I am currently the owner of three printers--is this crazy?

I bought a black-and-white laser my third year up at school because paying for those stupid ink cartridges every few months seemed so stupid to me. Lasers rock and save you bundles in the long run. Then I saw a color laser on sale the next year, and I had to buy that, too.

My boss showed up tonight with one of those printer/scanner/fax things--sweet! I don't have to go up to the neighbor's house anymore to scan documents for clients--yay! Everybody wins.

Oh I so want the kind that scan. Remember the summer you came to BYU how my printer went berserk? If only there was a class that would give you credit for turning in pages of gibberish. But seriously Laura, I'm going to say to you what I say to drivers who swerve in and out of their lanes: just pick on.

Clearly you were raised by your mother and not mine, queen of the "Get both!" line, if we ever couldn't decide what color of something to get. =)

But point taken.

That printer of yours WAS crazy! And see, any one of my printers could go crazy and I'd have backups--plural!--to keep right on printing.

Plus, I didn't have to pay for this last one. =)

I only have one printer, but I live very near several copy places, so I use those if I have special needs.

Love that you have three. If I got one that scanned and printed and did everything, I'd just get rid of the others. :)

I can't believe there was a typo in my comment! Ok no more early morning blogging for me.

I love that you have multiple printers and getting free stuff is always awesome. My mom actually was like that when it came to clothes. You know when you find a shirt you like and she makes you get it in four colors? That was my mom. And that is why I suffer from shopping sickness.

BTW I discovered another seldom diagnosed disease to champion. It's called Constant Itchy Back Disease. It doesn't necessarily mean your back is always itchy but it can never be scratched enough.

Liz, but why get rid of the others when they work perfectly well? And, since they're laser printers, it costs practically nothing to print using them. Besides, I have to work very hard to maintain this green, earthy-crunchy image; I can't be tossing away perfectly good printers. =)

Wendy, PLEASE keep up the early morning blogging. Somebody's got to keep me entertained while I draft 300-page documents.

And maybe your mom and my mom are the same. I bought some shirts from Express literally ten years ago. Four different colors. Still wear them and love them. Wishing I would've bought ten colors. And maybe ten in black. They're the perfect shirt, and Express changed them right after that season. Boo.

And your last comment there? SO perfect considering I've been thinking this week how you're the only person in the world, other than my mom, who knows how to perfectly scratch my back. "Hey, that joke's still funny."

I do suffer from CIBD.
