1. I want one of these right now.  OK, not now. But I do want one later…  “This delicious classic bar has it all! Milk chocolate covers four different flavors in each bar. Each bar contains Chocolate covered caramel, Vanilla, Peanut, and fudge filling in four sections.”

  3. Penny appears to be a Bichon Frise kind of dog. I’ve only seen her through the fence a couple of times, and Jack has also sniffed her through the fence. I was working at home today and from desk in my bedroom, I could see her in her yard walking around (as could Jack), and she looks like she is an older pup. She seems sweet and harmless. There is also a terrier looking black pup in the other side of the yard who loves to use his ‘big’ bark and run the length of the fence to antagonize Jack. Jack loves it and loves running back and forth. Jack did paw at the fence and that totally made me nervous (I haven’t seen those neighbors ONCE). I can just see them blaming the bigger dog for causing their dog to bark.  So we have a big pup sandwiched between 2 small guys. Our yard is on the larger size and at night it’s so dark that he blends in, so we’ve been throwing a leash on him until we get some solar lighting back there. Oh, and then there’s a big barker dog (thinking it sounds like a rottie) who is pissing off Penny’s Dad, as he’s mentioned ‘the barker’ twice in my two conversations with him! So I’m all paranoid about having Jack be on his best behavior.  And thanks for the congrats! We’re super stoked! And I’m stoked about having a solid reliable car for my long commute!!

  4. Man…

    About 1.5 weeks ago I saw Downton Abbey Season One (Blu-Ray) for $20.99 on Amazon. I wanted to buy it SO BAD, but it was right before we were moving, and I was in process of switching over my addresses (bank card, Amazon, etc) and didn’t want to hassle if it would be delivered to the right address before we moved and such. I figured it would go back on sale, but so far the closest it’s come down to is $24.99, which is still a bargain, but I’m hell-bent on waiting to score the $20.99 deal, should it happen again. 

    Am I the only one that plays these ‘the price is right’ deals on Amazon and check their wish list daily for possible awesome deals?

  5. I just realized that I moved into the new house one week ago today. Wow. How quickly time goes. I know I still need to recap the past couple of days, but sometimes I feel the longer posts are quickly looked over.  In the past week, this has happened:

    • Got a new car! Yay! Was hoping to hang on my good ol’ Explorer until June when I have a couple of bills paid off, but of course things sometimes don’t go as planned. I am now the proud new owner of a 2012 Nissan Rogue. I love it! I test drove the car and it only had 10 miles on it - eek! This is my first brand new car. I bought my Explorer a couple of years used with about 30K on it. This one has some spiffy features, and I’m just loving the feeling of driving a car that is brand new!
    • Unpacked a majority of the house. Still need to focus on the organization of the office and the finishing touches on my bedroom. 
    • My to-do list and to-buy list keep growing. 
    • I have only met one neighbor, who is my pal Raymond, who is about 80+ and lives with his wife and dog Penny and shares a fence with us. I’m kind of bummed I haven’t met anyone else. 
    • Sunday will be the last time I go to the condo. We’re getting the carpets cleaned and conducting our walk-through with our prior landlord. Here’s to hoping we’ll get our full deposit back! 
  6. apsies: A young elephant seal seems to kiss another on the beach in Gold Harbour, South Georgia Island, in the southern Atlantic. Photographer Jan Vermeer [not that one] captured the image while on a wildlife trip. He said: “While young seals are naturally playful, I was thrilled to snap this endearing moment that resembles a kiss. It was a rare sight indeed.” (via Pictures of the day: 27 January 2012 - Telegraph) Aww!

  8. Why is this Keurig K-cup drawer so pricey on Amazon?  The carousel one is cute, but I prefer the drawer. I tried Bed, Bath, & Beyond, but they didn’t have one in the store, and the one online is out of stock. Any recommendations on where I could find one without paying more than $30?

  9. kitcater: Today is National Chocolate Cake Day. And the sad thing is I actually bought a mini chocolate cake for my boss…not me. If this is a yellow cake, I could totally go for a big slice and a big glass of milk! Yum!

  14. Ok, that was short lived. A young boy who lives in the house behind me came outside with what looks like a bb gun, decided to come out and mock shooting at it. One of the doves flew away and the other one left shortly after.

    My future NRA Republican neighbor… He must be related to Sarah Palin.

    I miss the doves!

  15. There’s two doves sitting side by side on my fence in the backyard. It’s too cute!
