Video Madness!

I have become obsessed with this game. It’s so much fun. The music is fun. The graphics are beautiful. You can’t get bored because here is always something new, even after you beat the game. Crazy Dave is hilarious.

You don’t want to start playing. Really. It’s addicting. But if you feel the need to ignore my warning, go here to play for one free hour.

Thursday 3: Going Green


Thursday 13 is the norm. I only do 3 because I’m lazy.

Here are three reasons why you should go to your nearest Kohl’s store and invest in several of these reusuable grocery bags.

1. It’s an easy way to be part of the green movement. Don’t those plastic bags just pile up? We always used or recycled them, but now I don’t have to do either. We aren’t consumers of plastic grocery bags anymore. (And the way my family goes through groceries, this is a big thing.)

2. They are the most user-friendly bags I’ve found. The one I had from Whole Foods had a cardboard base, which was good. The ones from Vons were floppy, with no base. I didn’t like the unorganized mess they made in my car. These, on the other hand, from Kohl’s are absolute heaven!

These bags, like the Whole Foods bags, have bases, so when you fill it with packages of crackers, cereal or whatever, it has structure. Excellent. But, unilke the Whole Foods bags, THEY FOLD UP AND SNAP CLOSED into a neat, flat seven inch square. (You can see the little snap flap in the picture.) Oh, the ecstasy! The straps are also long enough so you can hook a couple bags on each shoulder, grab two in your hands and make it into the house with five heavy bags!
(I gave away my other substandard ones.)

3. Finally, they’re only $2 a piece. I have six of these bags. That was an investment of $12. I look at it like a donation to Mother Earth.

Jason Stratham

While looking for a movie to rent, I happened upon Transporter 3. It looked good. But we’d never seen the first two Transporters. So, I opted for the first one. It was a total testosterone fest, but I really liked it. Jason Statham was fantastic as the taciturn, hard-as-iron, kick-ass loner who has a softer side. In other words, your perfect romance hero. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any romance. But actually, I’m okay with that because if they’d tried to include a romantic sub-plot, they probably would have botched it. Better to focus on the real story and do that really well.
Just two days ago, my younger son and I watched Transporter 2 and we liked that just as much! I’m always surprised when I like a sequel as well as the first. Oh, there was a lot more that I had to roll my eyes at, plausibility-wise, but it was still a fun adventure. I’m really looking forward to number three.

Heaven for Your Nose

This is the Pumpkin Brulee candle. It smells AMAZING and makes me feel cuddly and warm and comforted when ever I light it.

You can get it at Kohl’s. I love Kohl’s.
