Pets raiding the fridge?!?!

by

Dog and Cat raiding the fridge for snacks

I am so glad that my dog is fairly well behaved … especially considering that she’s a hyperactive young Labrador Retriever!

She never tries to jump up to see what’s on the table, or on the kitchen counter. Oh sure she’ll sniff around the table and the edge of the counter but I’ve never once caught her jumping up or trying to steal any food.

She even investigates the fridge and cupboards when we have them open … but not like the dog and cat in the picture above! I think those two are going to need some Lipofuze if they make a habit of raiding the fridge on their own.

Do you have a pet? has your dog or cat ever stolen your food or jumped up on a counter or table to steal a bit?





Enjoying the nice weather

by

I’m so happy that winter is finally over! Not that our winter was all that bad. We had a much much warmer than normal winter with almost zero snow. Pretty rare for most of Canada!

My garden is looking spectacular already … It’s about a month ahead of itself in growth! I think that if my husband I start to feel better this weekend (we’ve have some kind of bug) maybe we’ll pull out our patio furniture so that we can enjoy some of this nice weather and get the outdoor season started.

I guess we’ll be getting invitations to outdoor BBQ’s and things like that a little earlier this year too. I know that I’d love to have our first garden/backyard get together soon – if this good weather holds up!

How’s the weather in your area? Are you ready to get out in your backyard and start barbecuing and doing other summer like activities soon too?

I should be able to hook our Wii up to our new TV soon

by

Well I still haven’t been able to get our Wii to work with our new TV. That’s the problem when you buy the thinnest plasma TV on the market … it lacks a lot of ports in the back!

We’ve tried to hook up the Wii through our receiver and that hasn’t worked either so about two and a half weeks ago I broke down and bought a composite to HDMI converter that upconverts the composite cable feed to 720p. It’s supposed to work well with Wii consoles …. so if it ever arrives from Florida I guess I’ll find out if that’s the solution to our problem or not.

Why does it take so long for packages to be sent from the US to Canada?

I certainly wasn’t using our Wii as much as I should have been lately … but now that I can’t use it at all I’m quite disappointed. I’ve been using the Wii as a workout tool doing Golds Gym boxing and Wii fitness as well as a few games. It certainly helped to keep me in shape (or to attempt to get me into shape) throughout the winter.

Now I’m also looking into getting a KVM switch to hook up our three computers, but I think I need to learn a little more about them before I bi. Anyone use one of these things?

Just about Everything on TV is a rerun this week

by

I didn’t sleep well last night and now I have a really bad migraine. I hate headaches!

I can’t do much of anything. I’m trying to do a little work on the computer, but it’s not going well. So I’m going to try to relax and just watch some TV for a while. Too bad it’s mostly reruns on this week and next too – thanks to the Olympics.

I have been watching the Olympics here and there, but I’m not interested in every single event … and the stations I normally watch all have reruns on so there isn’t much choice for a girl with a headache. Hmmm maybe I’ll get stuck watching an infomercial on adult back acne or something. LOL

Headache, headache go away!

Don’t be afraid to ask for a discount

by

The call my husband and I have been waiting for finally arrived. It happened yesterday afternoon. Yes… our new TV is at the Best Buy warehouse and they’ll have it for us at store on Friday.

it’s been a long wait! Almost three weeks!

Why is it that whenever we buy something it turns out to be out of stock? That almost happened with the Home Theater System that we bought to go along with the new TV too.

I do have to commend the guys at Best Buy. They really came through for us. When we decided to get a new TV I started looking at various local stores on line in order to find the Best Buy and by far, Best Buy had the lowest prices on the models we were interested in.

Plus … once we’d decided on a TV and we found out it was out of stock they took $200 of the price for us and gave us a four year extended warranty for half price as well. Oh and the HDMI cable that we bought was sold to us at half price too

Then as we had to wait longer than they said we would for the new TV they offered us a deal on a home theater system. They weren’t just trying to sell us something, we brought up that we were looking for a new home theater system because the receiver on our old one had died a few years ago. So they took about $200 off the price of the Home Theater system we picked out too. Of course they didn’t just offer it … we asked if they “could do anything for us” and without hesitation they made the above offer.

Then as if that weren’t good enough, when the TV was going to be delayed by maybe two more weeks (turns out it was only one week more) they offered to give us 50% off on a new TV stand. Again … we had decided on our own that we needed a new TV stand because the one we have is built specifically for the DLP and a plasma might fall off of it with the way our dog jumps around! So as it turns out we picked out a new TV stand that was on sale for $399 and they gave it to us for half price so we saved another $200.

I know we bought a lot of stuff, but if our TV hadn’t been on back order we wouldn’t have saved more than $800 on the items we bought. So as it turns out, having to wait for our TV was a good thing.

I guess the moral of my story is that it never hurts to ask for a discount (we did ask, they didn’t just out right offer every single thing I listed above), especially if the item you’re thinking of purchasing is on back order!
