I hope we use our travel club membership!

by

I was just thinking … now that we have a membership with a discount travel club – thanks to having booked our Las Vegas travel package through them – Chris and I should be able to get some really good travel deals!

Chris is afraid of flying though! I guess we’ll see how he does on our Las Vegas trip in two weeks and if he does ok maybe we’ll finally start traveling more often. I’d love to perhaps rent one of those vacation home Orlando for a week or so in March. The weather there would be a heck of a lot nicer than it is here at that time of year and the advantages of staying in a home rather than a hotel would be very nice.

I really don’t like staying in hotels at all. They’re too cramped! I guess hotel rooms remind me of my tiny tiny apartment that I had before we bought this house!

So I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that Chris doesn’t get to panicky on the plane to Las Vegas and keeps an open mind about traveling more often. I mean, I’ve been looking at some of the deals available to us now and it would be so nice to take advantage of these packages and get away for a while.





An outing for the nephews and nieces

by

Aw. Apparently the Disney channel has taken the Hannah Montana show on the road so I thought maybe getting Hannah Montana tickets for a couple of my young nieces and nephews would be a great gift idea, but I only see one Canadian listing.

It’s on December 15th. Well at least it’s a Saturday. It’d be terrible if it was a week night during school. This way, if I get tickets we could borrow the kids and make a day of it in downtown Toronto. Perhaps taking the kids to the CN tower so that they could see what the city looks like from high above, and see if any of them would dare to walk on the glass floor! I won’t, but they might!

Great storage system

Either this dog has mumps or he thinks he’s a chipmunk!

It looks like he’s got two balls in his mouth – maybe a tennis ball on one side and a ping pong ball on the other doesn’t it?

I’ve known of some dogs that would carry balls like that around most of the day. The ball would just be a gooey mess when they finally let go of it to beg you to throw it for them. Yuck.

I think we’re just about ready for our trip

by

I think I’m just about all set for our trip to Vegas.

We’ve gone shopping to get some new clothes – a must for any trip! Plus, I got some new things for my computer as I’ll be bringing my laptop with me when I got to the blogging convention.

I got a new battery for my laptop so it will last longer when it’s unplugged, and I also got an external 380 GB hard drive as I expect that Chris and I will be taking a lot of digital photos and videos. I figured we can store all of our digital media on the external hard drive. Plus, later, after our trip I can use the external drive to backup important files – kind of like a zip drive I guess.

I guess you could say we got everything but the IBM memory. Uhm that’s supposed to be a pun … you know, everything but the kitchen sink? Except since I’m talking about my computer … ah never mind. LOL

Pushy shoppers tick me off

by

So, yesterday I started to talk about an adventure I had in Walmart on Sunday. Want to know what happened?

My husband and I had been out shopping – getting some clothes at the mall for our trip to Las Vegas, buying groceries and getting a few other things at Walmart. We’d been on our feet for hours and we were both tired and hungry.

When we finally got in line for one of the cashiers at Walmart we noticed two women standing to the side of our line with their shopping cart. We knew we’d been in line before them and I was sure they were going to try to bud in front of the person ahead of me.

I was keeping an eye on things because I figured there’d be fireworks.

Well they didn’t try to bud in line ahead of the lady with two young children that was ahead of me. Nope. They budded in front of us!

I was determined to not let them in but they kept shoving their cart so hard that it kept banging into the lady ahead of me’s legs! She was holding a baby in her arms. I was afraid that she’d end up falling and that either she or the child would get hurt so I backed off and let the two rude ladies who pretended to speak no English bud in line ahead of me.

I’m tall though so I stood immediately behind them – towering over them since they were both four foot nothing.

I guess I intimidated them because they continued to bang their cart into the lady that had been ahead of me.

Why are people so darn rude! Yes the line ups were long at the Walmart – they always are, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to bully their way into line by almost knocking people over!

I know I shouldn’t have let them in line, but I didn’t want to be part of the cause of someone getting injured.

I was steamed all evening over what these two ladies had done!
