The Spree
Rawr. I’m actually too tired to blog, but I have blog news - mini shopping spree news!
Now, when I say shopping spree, I’m sure it’ll conjure visions of designer shoes and bags, expensive make up and electronics, but I don’t live the newest iPod lifestyle, so you’ll have to make due with Laota and my crappy, $93 dollar shopping spree for useful things we needed.
We got oodles. We’ve finally gotten our Brita filter pitcher, which we’ve been saving up for. If we’d have bought it at Pamida, like we planned and were saving up to do, we would have ended up paying $30 for the pitcher and $30 for 3 replacement filters. Instead we went to Amazon.com and, due partially to fact that I’ve signed up for a 1 month free trial of Amazon Prime, saved money right off the bat. $11 for the pitcher with 1 filter and $14.90 for the 4 replacements. No shipping, ended up spending only $26 on the whole kit and caboodle, which means we spent less than half of what we would have spent if we’d bought it in town. Yay us!
Our second major buy was a new rice cooker and veggie steamer from the Wolfgang Puck line that we bought for about $27 bucks, shipping and all. This was a big one, we’ve needed a new one for awhile to save time in packing bento, plus Solstice is coming up and it’ll cut down on meal prep time.
We also bought some hand dipped incense for our everyday rituals and also for the big holidays coming up, and some new tea lights for the burners and the shrines. We rounded our purchases out with a few new books on sale at Amazon and the newly released Square Pegs DVD boxset. Those were just unneeded purchases, I know, but all our bills are paid this month - I’ll be damned if we don’t buy a few things we want for once, lol.

Long Time Gone
Whoo, I’ve been gone a long-ass time. I just haven’t had time for this site, so much has been going on, and a smarter person would’ve blogged about it because it’s been horrible but my blogging’s not that compelling anyway, and you don’t need to know everything about me so feh.

Stop Talking To Me!
Well, I have to whine about this because I had to deal with it today. I’ve been wanting to get my cell phone number, which had come to me ‘brand new’ with a whole bunch of phone spam and people thinking I was a Jack Sidney, onto the National No Call Registry for a super long time.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to go about it - not really - but in my defense, that’s because I’m lazy be cause apparently FindOutWhosCalling.com - the site that offers you reverse phone lookups - has n ot only the links to get your name removed, but easy to follow instructions. So, I’ve now been ‘removed’ effective in a little over a month. Whoo hoo!
