Battery Issues

Here's the situation: About 1 month ago I didn't drive my Saab 9000 CS (1993) for 8 days. When I went to start, the battery was dead. Had it jumped and the alternator was checked and the alternator was okay. The voltage was at 13.7 (which is good). 2 days later, ignition left on and car died again. Again, I had it jumped and it was fine. Now about 1 month later, I didn't drive the car for over 24 hours, got in and it started fine. Made it home. The next a.m., it wouldn't start. Had it jumped (again) and it's been fine since. Yesterday I didn't drive it again and this a.m., dead AGAIN! The battery is only 1 year old. Could it be that I just need a new battery since it's been drained completely 2 times in a short period of time? Or is it a charging problem? Please advise. I've dropped it off at a local mechanic (close to my office) and I've never used him before. I don't want him to rip me off and I want to know what I'm talking about w/ him when he calls. (I've dropped it off for him to look at while I'm at work.)
Thank you so much.
