Be careful what you wish for or you will surely get it! Ever since I read about the $100 rebate at the register, i.e., no paperwork, in The Washington Post AND the fact that this is Alabama's tax-free weekend, I have desired this HP Touchpad. Reasonably priced for my budget ($399.99 for 16GB) and relatively good reviews plus an approval sign from my old tech b**ch, I waited almost 24 hours to purchase. Happy! Happy! Happy!
One hour ago the following was posted: DOA: HP TouchPad dies webOS death before Apple's lawyers can kill it. Oh, joy. Fortunately - maybe - for me, I have not removed it from its box. This may be one time when my procrastination pays off.
Example: I currently have the following unopened boxes sitting around my apartment
1) KitchenAid Stand Mixer
2) Hand-me-down clothes given to me by my sister
3) Photoshop software
4) Printer, currently being used by Jules
Don't ask me why. I have no logical answer for any of this! And, stop laughing at me. I'll open them eventually. But for now, I have posts to write and recipes to try. Maybe a nap, who knows?

Hi Judi,
Enjoy your new toy! I'm sure you will get around to opening the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, Photoshop software and printer ... lol. We do have our priorities!
You have no idea how you have made my day! Now when I look at the many unopened boxes and packages sitting around I won't feel so guilty. Do you have ANY idea when we do this?
I meant to say "why" we do this. I know the when -- whenever the urge to buy something I've been thinking about for a while. Also, in my case at least, I hate to read manuals and set stuff up. Case in point -- the HP printer still in its box a month later.
Donna - Thanks! It will happen...just on my timetable:)
leilani - And, you have made mine! What's the hurry?:) I can't answer the why question but the manuals, etc., may be part of it plus breaking down the boxes, etc., etc., could be part of it. I suppose I have to be 'mentally' ready.:)
I have never opened my kitchenaid pasta maker attachment that I just HAD to have. I believe it's going on two years now.
Pam - This behavior should teach us the difference between WANT and NEED, right? I WANTED the TouchPad:)
