May 16th, 2008Got myself an iPod!

I made the plunge and decided to get myself an iPod. I was going to get an iPod Nano but decided not to at this time. So I went with the iPod Shuffle because of some features it has.ipod-shuffle-silver

  • 2GB
  • up to 480 songs
  • small and light
  • clip onto clothes
  • easy to use
  • built in battery
  • 12 hours of battery life

One of the main reasons I decided to go with the iPod Shuffle was because of the clipon and how easy it is to just clip onto your shirt, pocket, jacket, etc. I love the simplicity of it since I’m hoping to join a gym soon and can easily clip it onto my shirt and listen to music while I work out.

Of course me being the most awesomeness sister, I ended up getting my sister one too. She wanted the turquoise one, while I got the silver. It was on sale at FutureShop.ca for only $59.99 which is really great! So now I just have to go pick it up sometime today since I selected to have it picked up instead of shipped to me. Saved me $10 there especially since I have a Future Shop location near my house. LOL!

May 9th, 2008The Perfect Gift!

The first thing you see when you enter my house, is the big grandfather clock my mother has in the hallway. It’s over 25 years old, looks brand new, and still works as if it were just bought yesterday.

Amazing right? I think so considering it’s age and the fact that it actually still works after all these years. If you are looking for the perfect house warming gift or just a long lasting gift for someone, consider getting them a traditional grandfather clock. They do make a remarkable presence in any home.

If you are looking for a great place to get clocks from, you may want to check out 1-800-4clocks.com. They have SOOO MANY that you can pick any style, price, and brand. The clocks found there are made with the highest form of quality as you can see from any photo. The photo I have shown in this post, looks exactly like my mother’s clock. If you’re not looking for a grandfather clock, they also have wall clocks and mantel clocks.

Like I said, there is a large variety that I’m sure you will find that perfect one for your home. Plus, don’t forget that both Mother’s and Father’s Day are coming up and this could make the perfect gift!!

Check out 1-800-4clocks.com for grandfather clock and much more!!

May 9th, 2008Mother’s Day Gifts!

I’m a little stuck with ideas on what to get my mother for Mother’s Day. I’m actually nervous about it because it’s only a few days away!! I still haven’t even talked it over with my sisters either. *sigh*

Maybe I’ll just go for something easy such as flowers. I know that 1800Flowers.com have perfect mother’s day flowers available. They also have gift baskets and other goodies that you can send to your mom as well. Not to mention everything is on sale too!!

Hum…*thinking*…maybe I SHOULD get her a gift basket with lots of goodies of her favourite things! That sounds like a plan to me!

Can you believe that Mother’s Day is literally next week?!! Geeze…months do fly by because I have yet to get my mom anything yet. I’ve been thinking about things she needs or wants and have come up with a few things. Maybe a new cookware set (which is what my dad suggested), summer clothes, or even some kind of electronic.

I’m thinking maybe a Casio Digital Camera like this pink one shown in the photo off to the side. Why a digital camera for my mom? Well, just last week I bought myself a new pocket digital camera because I needed one small enough to fit in my purse so I could take pictures on the go. My mom really enjoyed the simplicity of it and wanted one of her own. Hence, why I think a digital camera may be a great gift for her this year.

Right now you can save $83 off the original price by buying it at 42Photo.com. That is awesome!! Plus, they even have accessories for the camera such as memory cards, camera bags, tripods and even cleaning kits.

My mom might need some of those as well which is great because you can get it all from one place for great prices. Check out 42photo.com yourself!!

April 9th, 2008Very Exciting!!

Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer DeluxeI just love getting emails where it says something like, “Your item has been shipped”. Seriously, I’m estactic right now because of what I ordered. My father was watching tv a few days ago, and he saw this awesome juicer that he thought would be nice to have. So he mentioned it to me and I went to check it out on the web.

We ended choosing to get the deluxe one because it was stainless steel which would match with everything else in the kitchen. So I made one payment over the web so I could get a free $65 value of other neat stuff too. So today, I received the email confirmation that the item is being shipped. I can’t wait to get it!! You can see in the photo off to the side of what I’m talking about. It’s the Jack LaLanne’s Power Juicer Deluxe.

Also, check out the this video below of how it works. Beats anything else I have ever tried.

April 1st, 2008Two movies on their way!!

I bought two new movies a few days ago from Ebay. This one seller that I buy from always has new releases that are sealed and approximately $10 off retail price. It’s really amazing. I buy from them all the time and they are in a neighbouring city too which is great!!

I’m hoping to receive the two movies I ordered sometime this week. That would be awesome if they came sometime later today. I would be ecstatic since I have no more movies in my house that I haven’t watched at least two times. Yup…I’m that much of a movie buff and have over 200 store bought dvds.

The two movies I bought the other day were “I Am Legend” starring Will Smith and “Enchanted” starring Amy Adams & Patrick Dempsey. I can’t wait to watch both of them!!

March 13th, 2008A little ticked off!!

About two weeks ago I bought a new memory card for my camera. I hadn’t opened the package or attempted to use it until today when I filled up my other memory card. So I open it and stuck it in my camera. I go to format it and it gives me a bunch of errors. WTF!!!

How the heck can a new card be so messed up?? I tried formatting over and over again, and still nothing. It just keeps giving me “CARD ERROR” … “CARD ERROR” … “CARD ERROR“. Talk about being annoying!! So I now have to go and print out my invoice since I bought it online at FutureShop and return the damn thing. Seriously…I hate when shit like this happens. What a pain in the ass!!

Maybe I’m doing something incorrectly?? I don’t know…I haven’t gotten a new card since I got my camera a few years ago. Aren’t you just suppose to put the card in and then format it?? Isn’t that what you’re suppose to do?? Please correct me if I’m wrong because I’m ticked that it won’t work and it’s a 2GB card. *sigh* … now I have to hang tight with my 1GB for the time being which gets full way too fast!!
