Betty Be Blogging!
One of my favorite shows is on the Comedy Channel, it’s called Tosh.O. I stumbled onto it several months ago and fell in love with the show and the host Tosh. I’m glad that they are now showing some new episodes, since I’ve seen all the reruns all ready.
The Comedy Channel rocks!!!!
Went with my list to the grocery store today and filled the basket up with enough supplies to hopefully last a week or so. The most important thing on the list, besides milk, was toilet paper. When I got home and unloaded all the stuff, I noticed that I was missing the toilet paper. I knew darn well that I picked a brand out and put it in the basket. So I checked my receipt to see if I had paid for it and if it just didn’t make it’s way back into the basket after the cashier was done scanning it. Unfortunately there was no toilet paper on the receipt, so it is a mystery on where it ended up. At least I wasn’t charged for it, but now I have to use some dinner napkins until I can make it to the grocery store again tomorrow night, bummer.
For Father’s day I wanted to get my Dad a nice pair of men’s sunglasses. He has a habit of losing his sunglasses and is always needing a new pair, so I knew that he would appreciate a nice pair as a gift. At the mall there is a kiosk that sells only sunglasses, so I took a trip downtown to take a look and see what they had for sale in the line of mens sunglasses. OMG I couldn’t believe the prices they were asking. I mean I know that anything that you buy at the mall is going to be a bit more expensive, due to the overhead that is required by mall management, but there just has to be a limit some how where they aren’t taking so much of people’s hard earned money.
Anyway, that turned out to be a dead end, but I did get a good idea of some of the styles that are popular these days. So I took that information and went online and found a great website that had some great mens sunglasses at some pretty decent prices at menssunglasses.com and found some nice looking Aviator sunglasses for only $14.99. And since they offer free shipping for orders of $25 or more I ordered two pairs. They don’t even charge a sales tax, which is a bonus. At that price I could afford two pairs for my Dad to enjoy and since he loses them so quickly I’m sure two pairs won’t last long.
My order came in quickly, so I got them in time for Father’s Day and everyone ended up happy.
I promised my niece that I would take her to a Pow Wow over the weekend, the same one that I took her to last year. It’s a 2 hour drive over several mountains, but worth the time and effort. We left early this year in order to get there nice and early, to get good seats. Took a cooler full of cold drinks, a soft blanket and a tent for shade. We learned our lesson last year and wanted to come prepared this year.
It was a blast, but the temperature was in the high 90’s and we really were very miserable, along with the other several hundred people that attended. It didn’t end until 6:00pm but by 2:30 most people had left due to the heat and we headed out early as well. This heat wave has been horrible. I mean it is only June for heaven’s sake, not mid August!
Next year if the weather isn’t decent we won’t be attending. I’ll be looking for a Pow Wow that is held inside where we will be nice and comfortable in a controlled environment.
After browsing through many different laptops, I finally came to the conclusion that it was not a laptop I was actually looking for, but rather a netbook! It was quickly apparent to me that Dell was going to be the best choice because their netbooks not only had the best appearance and specifications but, the best prices as well. But I’m still shopping and if anyone has a netbook that they love and its not a Dell, I’d love to hear what you bought and if you think it is better than Dell.
