At first I was going to write about Squeaks Kindergarten Dr's appointment, and how he walked out with a stash of Jeff Gordon memorabilia just because he is who he is (few people can say no to those big brown eyes and the way he talks.)


Then as I left the grocery store for the THIRD time in FIVE days I realized that these frequent trips may be something to talk about. Yes, we have all had those weeks when we make one big grocery trip and then realized one or two items were forgotten, BUT three trips where each trip cost $20 to $30. Being a Type A person I hate being unorganized and to help me stay on task has been this organizer, except for this week. Don't blame it on the organizer, the excitement of the past few weeks has finally caught up to me.
My third idea for a posting was about Ebay, I love Ebay! It is a great place to find deals, replacement parts, and anything else. The past few weeks I've been searching for Leapster L-Maxs, yes plural as in two. We had two and I was searching for a good deal on a third for our youngest. Then we needed to find another one after Squeaks pee'ed on his while he was sleeping. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Then today I dropped my coffee pot, for the second time in several weeks, which resulted in a terminal chip around the rim. As you can see by the picture the coffee carafe is stainless steal, not glass which would shatter after one drop. However, if you drop it on the plastic rim at top it will break. Once again, Ebay to the rescue. To buy the coffee pot from Cuisinart it would cost me $50 + S&H. On Ebay I purchased one for $29.99, which includes S&H and a new lid (yes, the lid was dropped too and though use able it did break.)

So now you know how my mind works, it never shuts down and ideas are constantly running through my head. Now if only I could discipline myself enough to make notes throughout the day and then after writing the post to reread and edit what I've written, now there is a concept. Ok, at this point I'm feeling the need to apology to my college professors, can you imagine what my random thoughts and not-proof-read papers looked like? He, he, some things never change with age.
