Wow, I'm Feelin OLD!


But I'm not, right? Old that is. But I have a friend who is the Costco Vanna. You know....Sam's Club, Price Club, whatever it is you call a HUGE warehouse full of oversized packages of stuff that fits nicely in your bathroom if you only plan to squeeze in , do your bidness and squeeze out kind of place. Oh, they hand out yummy free samples too. Ummm....my point being...Oh yeah! My friend buys everything at Costco and if we don't , she points out all the reasons we should have bought our whatever it was there and we can take it back like 3 years later as long as you have the receipt and you can get twelve of them and you won't have to ever worry about buying one ever again and neither will your children. Will schmill. My kids are gettin toilet paper when I die. And again...my point being...

Yes, of course....*thinking quickly back to what the heck am I doing here anyways? How did I get here....oh yeah....* I was online looking for the 2nd generation BLUE iPod because I am obsessed with it and I must have it (or the red one, it's wicked pretty too). Silver just doesn't do it for me, it must be blue (or asforementioned red) or the music doesn't sound as good and it's too heavy and not as bright and doesn't have the long battery life and it just looks cool, alright Gila Man! I mean Gosh! It's the same price already.

Gee...I was just, ya know...killin' a little time ('cuz I have so much of it) and just cruisin' the Costco website, checkin things (like the iPods) out and seein' if there's any shift in the color situation (no shift, if you're wonderin') and I remember that Noah really liked these flash card type things that Costco Vanna had at her house that he LOVED. They were cute and helped children develop their language skills and Noah just liked the pictures so I thought it would make a cute Christmas gift. So I click on "search" and enter "flash cards" thinking that the flash cards would be addition, subtraction, mulitplication, colors and things of that nature. And up pops a page on digital memory flash cards. For holding pictures and info. Not flash cards. No addition. Nothing like what I was expecting. I feel like a big dork and I just thought I'd share that with you so that if you were having a bad day and feeling like a dork as well, to bad!!! I win. I must sleep now...obviously.....

Sarah-

You need to watch the Bernie Mac episode where he tries to save money by going to "Bigboxco." Good stuff.

Hee. How cool is it that I married a guy who-- like me-- can always draw a parallel between life and a TV show (or movie)? So, SO COOL, that's how cool!

And heh. Your Costco Vanna friend sounds JUST like my momma. I'm not kidding. Ask anyone. Then again, I DO shop at Costco. I'm just not a missionary for their cause.

Oh! And good luck with your iPod search! I know this is an old post (what's up with that?!), but if you are still browsing, I get a federal discount from Apple. Oh, yeah, baby. That's what I'm talking about...
