Owning a home: PRICELESS

Fork in hand, we now have ourselves a piece of the pie – a home!  Dig in!  We are so excited, and there is so much to update … and it will come … soon.  Moving, for lack of a better word, sucks.  It makes me sweat and what’s worse, I realize I am a pack rat.  Do I need to keep my high school yearbooks?  What about the anniversary card JP gave me … 6 years ago?  Well, now that I have a house to fill, it seems the answer must be a resounding YES, yes?!

Dear Bed Bath & Beyond,

I can’t help but want to shop at your locales.  Your selection of cutting boards, egg slicers, throw pillows and towel racks is vast.  In your store, I’m forced to ponder questions like, “Do I need a silicone whisk and a stainless steel whisk?” and “Would I use an egg ring, to get those perfectly round poached eggs?”  The answer is more often than not, no.  Nevertheless, Bed Bath & Beyond, you make me think!

Lately, however, I’m thinking  you’re not quite in touch with reality.  Or maybe it’s me.  But, I hope it’s the first.  Specifically, your ads for college supplies seem, well, a bit … over-the-top?  See picture below. 

Really, Bed Bath & Beyond? 

Do parents really have the money to make their college kid’s dorm look like an HGTV host threw up on it?  Are lava lamps still cool?  And those fresh, clean walls?  (My dorm walls were of the gruel-colored, faux-brick type.  I could barely get ticky tack to stick to them ensuring my Madonna poster stayed put.) 

Wondering in West Palm,

CP

We had the pleasure of checking out Q. Tarantino’s latest film, Inglourious Basterds.  And by pleasure, I mean 153 minutes that included smart and funny dialogue, Brad Pitt, drinking games, the girl from the National Treasure movies, shoot ‘em ups, and an incredible performance by Austrain-born Christoph Waltz - just to name a few things that kept my attention.  In fact, I didn’t look at my watch phone once.  Cheers to Tarantino!!  And what’s more, I took my mom to see this movie!!  Despite the Nazi-scalping and multiple f-bombs being dropped, I think she liked it ;)  

In other news, I saw this picture of Jon Gosselin and had to post it:

I can’t even type what I really think when I see this, but I think it rhymes with ‘drool.’  Hahahaha! 

 

 

We have tons of CDs, which we keep in CD books.  However, with a move creeping up on us soon, we’re contemplating what to do with all the empty CD jewel cases.  Obviously, we don’t want to just throw them on the street.  And, no, we don’t want to make picture frames, instant ’frosted’ glass or ’stained glass’ ornaments out of them.  Maybe I’ll get my Green Martha on next time. 

I did find a web site for the CD Recycling Center of America (who knew such an entity existed?)  While their efforts are worthy, I’m not sure I have the patience to follow all their directions. 

What have you done with your old cd jewel cases?
