Finally...

We have a table where more than four people can sit down to eat. I feel like an adult now. It was a pain to get here though. Had to order it from Pier One and the company they used for delivery sucked. I won't be doing that again! But I am pleased with the table. The hubby picked it out and I think it looks good.

Road Trip!

The hubby and I are preparing for our move and decided to drive part of our route. While out we decided to visit the Cruiser in the Cornfield. It's something he's known about and decided to go a few extra miles to New Jersey to get a glimpse of it.

It's just a building in the middle of the field, but the top does look like a cruiser. We could only see it from the side of the road, but it was a fun side trip. We love doing things like this.

Best Commercial Ever!

So the hubby and I sat and watched Super Bowl's Greatest 2008 Commercials. I normally watch the Super Bowl for the commercial. Okay so I'm not a football fanatic. I don't complain when the hubby wants to watch it though.

The greatest commercial was voted Coke's Mean Joe Green's commercial from the 80's. I have to agree with them. It's a classic! How can you not get a warm fuzzy seeing that commercial? It's been number one something like seven times. Budweiser came in second and third. Not my favorites, but good ones.

Which led the hubby and I to another discussion on how much we enjoyed Budweiser's commercials. Well except for the Whaz Up fad. I always look forward to their commercials. I know many would say I'm biased because we're from the area, but their advertisers are brilliant.

Now the commercial below is the best ever! It was only aired once because they didn't want to get any financial gain off of it. It's an emotional one, so you have been warned.



I get chocked up when they bow.

Kill of the Day

Caught your attention didn't it? It'll make sense in a moment I promise. So the hubby and I bought a FURminator. I'd heard good things about it and so when the hubby got home early from work today I suggested we go to town and do some shopping. It's a wondrous invention. It's a brush for your dog or cat to help with their shedding. It brings up fur from the undercoat as well as loose hair. After probably an hour of brushing the dog we got this fur pile the size of a tribble. We jokingly called it the kill of the day.

Kaiser was in Heaven, but after a while he got tired of the brushing and ran away. Odie did get jealous so I brushed him a bit and got enough fur to make a mouse. Kasier was extremely jealous the whole time I brushed the cat so hubby had to bribe him with treats.

I think both of them will be hiding from us for the rest of the night because we brushed them so much. If you have pets that shed a LOT then I highly recommend it.

It's Back...

What you may ask? American Idol. I know you can stop your groaning. So I watched it. I swear it's like watching a car wreck. I couldn't help myself. There weren't as many train wrecks shown this year as last. Don't get me wrong there were some doozies tonight. Like the guy who wore a belly dancer outfit and then went and got a body wax at their suggestion. Yikes!

And I think Simon actually got a heart. He was nicer than he has been in the past. Oh he still told people when they were awful, but he wasn't nearly as harsh as he has been in the past. Although he did make a comment about people being happy for their friends or family and how he didn't understand that. Huh?

And of course there was the stalker song that one guy sang to Paula. Creepy!

I'm sure tomorrow night will be even better. The hubby brought up an interesting point. Why do people let their loved ones go through this when they obviously can't sing? Delusions of grandeur is my only answer.

Although I don't think anyone wants to win Idol any more. Those who do seem to fade into mediocrity anymore. The runner ups seem to do better. Just look at Daughtry. He's doing so well and he only made it to the top four in 2006. And Blake Lewis rocks! He was the runner up for last year's Idol for anyone who's been living under a rock. And my favorite in case you couldn't tell.

Well I Never! And I Won't Ever Again!

So I finally got my Christmas present from the hubby on the 10th. It's a really nice digital picture frame. I love it, but I digress. The lateness of this one was not his fault. He was told that it would arrive on the 27th of December, so he told me on Christmas day what I would be getting. Only it didn't get here on the 27th in fact it sat in Richmond for more than 2 days. We thought it was probably stolen. So Jim waited until the 2nd figuring maybe UPS got bogged down due to the holiday and then he'd contact the company he ordered from.

Well they emailed him wanting feedback on the product. He emailed them back saying he hadn't gotten it and that it was still in UPS 'care'. And seeing as how it's there responsibility to get it to him, the customer, they should do something. They emailed him an automated response saying someone would get back to him within 48 hours. Five days later he gets an email from this tool giving him the tracking number that he already has.

Prepare for lift off. Hubby is now extremely ticked off. He shoots off an email informing them that he has the tracking number that's how he knew it was sitting in Richmond for so long. Duh! He then tells them that if he does not receive the package within five business days he will dispute charges.

Suddenly the package is on the move! Unfortunately it's now in California. Then it got to Maryland and sat there for 2 days. We both agreed that if it didn't arrive by the 10th that the charges were going to be disputed. It was there when I got home from work. Lucky for them.

Sadly they never apologized for the inconvenience or tried to make things right in anyway. The only thing that spurred these morons into actions was the threat of pulling the cash from their hands. Now they've emailed my hubby for customer feedback. He deleted the email.

TigerDirect sucks! I will never purchase anything from them EVER again! Their customer service is terrible and they do nothing to try and rectify their mistakes. If ever you need anything electronic don't go to TigerDirect!

Thoughts

I don't really keep up on the news that much. The hubby keeps me informed. I know shame on me, let's move on. He's the one who told me about The Filipino Monkey. I nearly wet myself laughing at the story of the pervert. He'd been saying from the get go that's who he thought did it. Which is not funny. I have to agree with him. He's a pretty smart cookie. That could just be me being biased, anyway on with my thread.

I know there will be the conspiracy theory nuts out there saying that this was all staged. It's already happening. Thankfully some people can see through that.

Dear Idiots

Please tell me again how I must be so thankful that my husband is in the Navy and not some other branch of the military. I do so love to here you spout off in such a stupid manner.

What's that? You can't breathe? Maybe that's because I have my hands wrapped around your throat you ninny. Please remove your head from your sphincter and think before you speak. No branch of the military is safe.

Ugh!

Okay I'm done.

A Blast From The Past

Holy cow! I remember watching this back when I was in high school. It was a hoot to watch back then. Titan was an original Gladiator. Cool to see he's in good shape and can still do this.



So I've watched it the past two nights with the hubby. They do a lot more about the contenders history, which I could care less about. But it's still pretty good. It's the only show that I've ever watched that the hubby got loud over. I know it'll become a staple in our household.

First Post of the New Year

For New Year's Eve the hubby and I did not attend any fantastic party. We didn't even ring in the new year with a bit of bubbly. I had worked all day and was dealing with a sinus infection. And the hubby had duty so he wasn't really home. So I sat at home and just watched TV. I refused to watch the Dick Clark New Year's Eve special because I can't stand Ryan Seacrest. And let's face it the whole show has him with a brief appearance by Dick. Which it's just sad now. So I watched Fox this year. They had Jordin Sparks and my favorite Blake Lewis. The female host was a total goof and I could have done less with the 'So You Think You Can Dance People'. But the bright spot was my sweetie was home to kiss me at midnight. I hope that everyone had a more exciting new year than me.
