My very expensive, free blog

When I started my blog I was excited because it was a good thing for me mentally, and then turned into something fun for me, my friends, and my family. The best part of it was that it was free! Well, that didn't last terribly long. First, I decided to get a blog makeover--great decision and totally worth it, but it did cost money. Next, I realized how old and decrepit our computer was because everytime I was on it, it crashed. So, I hinted at my darling husband, that I needed a laptop. Again, a great decision, but a bit pricey. Then, since I had a feeling he was getting us a computer--initiated because of my blog--I felt the need to get him something nice, hence the wii. You see where this is going. This free blog is getting pricey. Well, recently my mom mentioned that she liked my pictures on my blog, but it was too bad that I didn't have a nicer camera...Well, funny thing, I'd been thinking the same thing. So, now we're considering getting a digital SLR camera to improve our pictures (not just for the blog, but again initiated because of it). Granted, we're looking at an entry level camera, but still isn't free. Now, if only I could convince Bill that my blog needs a new pair of shoes...ooh and a nice pair of jeans...
