We need to make a trip to Miami. Darn, I hate Miami. Well I like the Cuban coffee and we all like The Cereal Bowl and E was just talking about the Venetian Pool which is probably not open right now anyway, but who knows maybe it is. I wonder if we could swing a trip before Christmas.
The Poop Exhibit would be worth it, wouldn’t it?
Hmmm Badger recommends this BooksPrice site. Interesting. It looks like they have CDs and DVDs as well. I just gave it a try and it definitely works. I need to play with it a bit more to see, it got really slow on the third search and I shut it down because I got tired of waiting on it.
Oh brother. Techcrunch is at it again with the disclosure issue for paid blogging and for pay for posties in particular. When do you think they might get off of their high horses and talk about something interesting. Or better yet, when do you think they might get a CLUE? I’m guessing - NEVER.
Yes I get paid for taking pay per post blogging opportunities. I always plop those posts into my payperpost category and more often than not, I disclose in the post itself that I’m doing a PPP opp. But if I didn’t, is it really any of techcrunches or anyone else’s business? No, it isn’t. But yes, they can definitely talk about it til they’re blue in the face. Heck, talking about it is making them a nice chunk of money, look at all of those ad banners. Heh. It’s just more publicity for PPP, and as far as I can tell, it isn’t doing PPP any harm at all. We’re still blogging for them. We’re still happy with our “paychecks” and advertisers are still happy to pay us.
Well, well, well. This is not something you see everyday in video games, is it? I wonder how long it will stay on the shelves, not because people flock to buy it (though I’m sure they will) but because it is deemed inappropriate for society. I can hardly wait to discuss this game with the game lovers in the house.
So, this toilet seat. Interesting. My first thought was 1/2 Child gift! But then I started thinking that this wouldn’t be a bad idea in my bathroom. Hmmmmm. Joyful noise. Hummmmm. Interesting.
Are you in college? Do you blog? Want some cash for college? Hurry and apply!
I love that they specify “no spam”. Heh.
Something to take note of about this scholarship… they are choosing the finalists and then opening it up to a vote by the public. I’m anxious to see the finalists, I wonder how many people applied.
For more years than I want to think about right now I’ve been asked to sit through mini “fashion shows” anytime my girls went shopping or received new clothes as gifts. This really started just about as soon as they could walk.  My son, would grudgingly put on new clothes and come out and show us - sometimes, but not always.
Today, the 1/2 child asked me to look at the new clothes he had just purcahsed - while he was wearing them. Weird. A fashion show by a boy. Weird.
Apparently he has to attend a family wedding and he needed someone’s opinion. Since I’m the only one home at the moment, I’m the someone. Why he needed anyone’s approval on this, I do not know. He chose a simple pair of pants and a white button down shirt. Seems fine to me, looks ok to me. I’m sure his mom will be pleased he isn’t arriving in work pants and paint splattered band tshirt.
Some people have sock monsters, but how many have fork monsters? Your washer and dryer eats socks, my dishwasher apparently eats forks because we have none - again. We bought a ton of forks last February at IKEA. Gone. Poof. Vanished. The big kids insist they have no forks in their room. Chris suggested Jake the black dog has eaten them, I somehow doubt this. Michelle says maybe J is using forks to stir his hot tea at night and the forks are with the tea mugs in J’s room, I think that’s unlikely. The 1/2 child suggests the evil fat cat has taken them, also probably not the answer.
Whatever.
The 1/2 child forked over $50 for the purchase of a gross of generic forks ordered from ebay last night. Anyone want to take bets as to how long 144 forks will last us?
I just realized how close Christmas really is. All of the family birthdays are just about finished and that means it is time to get serious about shopping. That also means it is time to get serious about all of the potential gifts I’ve blogged about, bookmarked, spurled or in some other way saved urls for. It’s time to weed out the ridiculous and create some serious shopping lists. It’s also time to clean out some closets and some drawers to remind myself of which gifts I’ve already accumulated.
Fun, fun, fun. Not.
Someday I’m going to find the perfect organizational system. The one that works with my family and my brain. And then I’ll probably never actually use it because that’s the problem with organization and my family and my brain.
How many shopping days are left anyway? No don’t tell me, I do not want to know.
