Scrooge! I finally bought an MP3 player today.

After much, much talking myself out of it, I finally did it.

See, I don't spend much dough anymore. I spend money on food and cats and food for the cats, but beyond that I don't spend all that much. So forking over $100 at one time, for something that's optional, is enough to make my heart start beating a little faster; I had so much time in the apartment where I was close to $0 (or under) by the time payday hit that I constantly worry about getting there again.

However, this is a long-overdue purchase. I go to the gym. I like to jog. My car stereo works only intermittently. AND I LOVE MUSIC. Plus, you can now buy these things for pretty darn cheap.

So here it is. I wanted a Rio Forge Sport really bad (the kind I got my niece, so one I've held in my hand and thought was adorable) - they're have slots for SD cards so are expandable. But this ended up being a better deal, and is a well-reviewed product.

$63, with shipping. I hate spending the money, but OHMYGOD I can't wait until it gets here. :)  ¶ 4:09 PM
