So, I got myself a new laptop the other day. We went to Best Buy to get it. I don’t normally shop in box stores for technology and Monday was a remind of why I don’t. They’re pushy as all get out. I suspect it’s because they work on commission.
I have [...]

It’s finally Friday. It’s been a long week. Seriously long. Not quite sure why, outside of fighting with the cold weather. It’s been so cold that our water has been frozen on and off all week. Our kitchen was froze most of the week. It thawed yesterday, then [...]

Okay, we live in the middle of nowhere, so we don’t get cable. I’m kind of sad about that, but it’s been long enough that I’m okay with it, especially since we have great satellite service. We started out with Dish Network and they were okay, until they started changing everything and screwing [...]

I’m a little bit tired, but not really. I have this weird aversion to sleeping lately it seems. I blame it on my bed. We made a huge mistake when we were looking for a new bed. I need to learn to test out mattresses before buying. Our bed is [...]

I have wide feet, so it’s hard for me to find decent shoes. I dread summer every year because I can never find cute sandals in the right width that fit my picky standards. No, I don’t wear open toes, nor will I wear anything that doesn’t have a heel strap at least. [...]

I’m glad this weekend is over. It’s been a long one in a lot of different ways. It’s also been stupidly hot. I ended up grocery shopping today, which isn’t bad. I spent more than I thought that I would, but I think we’re pretty well set. We need a [...]

One of the things that I’ve noticed at the local hospital is that all the nurses and assistants wear cute print scrub tops instead of the standard whites that they used to wear years ago. It’s always interesting when you go to the doctor because sometimes it’s hard to tell who the doctor is [...]

Every now and then, I come across cool sites that I like to share and this is one of those times. Now, I don’t have kids, but there is a brand new online clothing store that is selling designer children’s clothing. Now this isn’t a new thing, a lot of online stores sell [...]

1) Croissants!  Seriously.  They are the only place in this area that I can find croissants in this area where they don’t cost an arm, leg and first born child.
2) They carry EVERYTHING.  I do mean everything.  They carry clothes, car parts, grocery items, industrial supplies, restaurant supplies, gardening items, computers, electronics.  Everything.
3) The prices.  [...]

So, after spending time trying to find a score from a High School Baseball game today, I found that it didn’t happen. What? The schedule on the school website was wrong. I was pretty damn pissed off when I found *that* out. Now, I have found that the game occurred on Tuesday. [...]

Everyone who knows me, knows that I love scented candles and room sprays and such. I miss my Solas Candle products like no other, but I figured that I should get over it and try something new. So, in trying something new, I had the chance to try the new Glade Sense & [...]

So, I went to Sam’s Club with my sister yesterday and she was looking at different things. I’m not a big fan of shopping in general, but it was nice to wander around with her. It’s different than going with just Rob, especially since she looks at odd things like pool toys or [...]

I can’t wait for the weather to warm up some more, then I can retire my sneakers until it gets wet or cold again. I can’t stand shoes to begin with, so spring is always a good time for me, especially once it gets warm enough to wear my sandals all the time. [...]

I forgot that today is Pi day! In honor of Pi day, however, I did partake in some pie. I made peanut butter pie today. Screw the peanut butter recall, I’m going to eat peanut butter if I want it. We checked to make sure ours wasn’t part of the recall. [...]

So, you have a watch, an old fashioned watch that you need to wind. What are you going to do? Sit there and wind it every time that you want to wear it? I don’t know about anyone else, but I think that I’d look at watch winders to see if I can [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how cheap and cheesy products can be when you buy them in a standard department store like K-Mart, Wal-Mart or Target. For instance, a year or so ago, I looked at tv stands for our living room because we got a larger television and it wouldn’t sit on [...]

I have to wonder sometimes, how many people who wear watches even look at them any more. With all the time we spend on the computer, using a cell phone or any other personal device (it seems to me at least) do people really need to own a watch? Sure, it could be [...]

The latest craze in Christmas decorations, I’ve noticed, is the usage of led light bulbs for outdoors, as well as for your tree. They’re a fairly new technology, but they’re quickly becoming a wide spread craze. Not only are they considered to be green and save energy costs, but they last far longer [...]

I love to look around at different websites for shopping. One of my favorite things to look at are funny t shirts. I don’t know why they amuse me so much, but they do. There are some that I’d never wear, ever. I don’t know why people would wear some of [...]

I noticed today while shopping that there are all these fat burners all over the shelves that anyone can buy. Is it just me that thinks it’s kind of screwed up? I mean, shouldn’t we be discouraging kids from using these things to lose weight and encouraging them to do it the right way?Shouldn’t [...]

At some point I was signed up to receive baby related products. Apparently, someone signed up with my name and address, saying I was pregnant. No, I’m not pregnant, I don’t plan on being pregnant, ever. I do have friends who are pregnant or want to get pregnant, which is absolutely fabulous [...]
