Inside Jan's Mind

Last week I went computer shopping. An entire paycheck later I'm the proud owner of a Dell something with speedy things and programs that do stuff. I just want to type and send email.

I patiently listened to the young salesman describing its many amenities then asked my questions. I saw him almost break into laughter over my naivte, but he was nice and courteous. I even comparison-shopped because my mother would be rolling around in her grave, so to speak, if I didn't.

I hope I made a good choice. Why doesn't it make tea???

Then I went crazy and shopped for a new hairdryer; you know, the 21st century kind. I needed help buying that, too. Tried the comb thingy, but I think my hair's too short. Haven't tried the diffuser, so that, too, will be a new experience.

Gee, my inherent "Rube-ness" isn't showing too much, is it??!
