Video Games

June 10th, 2010

Why are video games so expensive? I really don’t like spending $60 or $70 dollars for a game. Especially a game that only takes a rainy weekend to beat and then you are done with it. There are only a few games that you can play over and over again. For most of them, once you beat the game it’s not fun any more.

I would really like to see games get back down to under $20. If they were more affordable I would be more inclined to buy them and have a larger collection.

Hoodies

October 13th, 2009

Now that there is a chill in the air, I have to dig out the sweatshirts and jackets. I have a variety of sweatshirts from events and  places visited. My favorite was a dark green sweatshirt from the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago. It was stolen off of me – wrapped around my waist – as I crossed a busy street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras several years ago,. That was freaky – to have your clothes ripped right off of your body in broad daylight.

I just realized that I don’t have a single hoodie. All of my sweatshirts are regular crew neck shirts. Not that it was by design. I guess I’ve never been interested in hoodies.

What to do with 30 Bananas?

July 17th, 2009

992

DH came home with a big box of ripe bananas that were free for the taking. I don’t know how two people are supposed to eat all these bananas. I guess I will freeze them and break out the blender so we can start making smoothies and milkshakes.

Free Samples

July 11th, 2009

This morning I heard that WalMart has a way for customers to sign up on their web site for free samples. The link to do that is on their site but you have to hunt for it. Click here.

They tell me that when you sign up they mail a lot of different products to your house – all for free. They also have free trials and free music dowloads. That sounds like a bargain!

Ten Days and Counting

December 15th, 2008

Just can’t get in the mood for Christmas shopping, but I realize that we are just 10 days away from Santa’s descent down my chimney. So I had better get busy. There are several people out of town that I won’t get to see in person this year, so I’m plucking a variety of giftcards from the kiosk at Kroger and sending out lots of cards this year. They today is the deadline to get things mailed using regular Post Office mail, so I’m heading out early and getting as much done today as I can do.
