proud new owner...

of a kick arse printer! i'm so excited. haven't the foggiest idea of how to work it tho!
so my old printer died. nick spent quite some time trying to fix it and finally got frustrated and gave up. totally surprising for him. he is usually the patient one. okay, so maybe he did spend a few hours on it... well, he said that we should probably just buy a new one. that's when i replied, 'any one i want?' now this was said in my cutest shannon voice. that he is just a sucker for! and it worked. can i just say, thank goodness for credit cards! yes, i know that just because you have a $5,000 limit. doesn't mean you have $5,000 for free! i have so been trying to behave and pay off our debt. and i'm pretty sure i will have three of them paid off before the new year! darn college debt. but back to the printer...
after multiple stops, we found it at best buy. brought it home and it was broken. grrr. headed back to best buy to exchange it and finally got it working around 6 or so. what a long adventure! lemme just tell you, the thing is ginormous. took up the entire top of my cabinet. i don't care tho. it's gonna be so great to finally be able to print on my 12x12 cardstock!!! wee! it's gonna be so much fun!
if anyone has any giant printer tips or regular sized ones for that matter please let me know! :)
so i tried to post a link but blogger ate it. the new printer is a epson R1800.
