1. I think I'm pretty much over my cold, and I have to say, that's got to be the "best" cold I've ever had. I never did get more than a little congested.

2. We went ahead and bought Carla's new computer yesterday. Still going to save it for Christmas, but I wanted to make sure Amazon didn't suddenly run out or take forever shipping. We ordered from Amazon instead of the Apple Store because it was $20 cheaper, plus no tax (and tax on an $800 computer is around $80 so that's a big savings!).

3. We might be going karaoke this weekend! I hope they have the new Lady Gaga song.

I didn't realize there's no tax on Amazon! :O Shit. ;o; I could have said like $200 when I bought mine :(

Yep. I think the rule is that online stores have to charge tax if they have a physical store in the state you're ordering from, but Amazon doesn't have any stores, so no tax.

Apparently in Washington state you have to pay tax, because the company is based there. But everywhere else? No tax.

And if you live in Oregon there's no sales tax on anything at all. I like that a lot.

True story: last week, someone said 'Oregon' and I forgot that Oregon was a state. *headdesk*
