Bonnie’s birthday

Yesterday Jeff asked me to help him out.  He’s in a real bind.  His wife Bonnie has told him that she wants him to buy her some Vera Wang Perfume for her birthday.  He has been in a real tizzy since then because he has no idea where he can go to buy any Vera Wang Perfume.  So Jeff called me up and begged me to buy some for him to give her.  I asked him what in the world made him think that I would know where to go to buy Vera Wang Perfume?

His answer – because you always smell so good!  Well, I have to give him credit for being smart enough to come up with that good an answer!  I told Jeff that I really didn’t have time to shop for him around town, but I’d go online and see what bargains could be had.  I have quite the reputation in our social circle for being a savvy online shopper!  I told Jeff that he needs to find out which fragrance in particular Bonnie wanted, and to get back to me and let me know.  Once I know for sure which fragrance she wants, I’m sure I can find him a good deal!

Yoga mats

When I was encouraged by Lily to take some dance classes with her, she told me that the first ten minutes, and the last ten minutes of class involve doing yoga exercises on the floor I was hesitant to join the class. After all, I did not want to have to buy a yoga mat. I went to the first class, taking only a beach towel with me instead. It wasn’t very long after class started before I realized that if I am going to take any more classes with Lily I am going to have to buy one of the best thick yoga mats that I can afford. Doing yoga on a beach towel was very uncomfortable!

Shelves in the shed

Several years ago I bought a Rubbermaid storage shed for our back yard.  I asked my hubby to install it on a bed of gravel.  But he decided that he’d just put it on the ground.  As a result all of the shelves that I try to put on the walls keep falling down.  When we first put the building up and the installed the shelves, I was thrilled!  I filled the shelves with an assortment of garden tools and planters.

I was thrilled to be able to take my outdoor planters out of the basement and put them into the shed – it freed up valuable space inside. But I was quite annoyed a few short days later when I went out to the shed to pick out a decorative planter to put a new begonia in and found all of my garden supplies in a pile on the floor! I have tried many times to fix that problem, but the shelves just will not stay up! I guess the only solution is to put in free-standing shelving units and be done with it!  I think if my hubby had installed the shed correctly this wouldn’t be an issue!  But I always learn to make do, and I think that is the answer to the problem.

Itchy feet

I received some luggage as a gift from my hubby. He asked his sister to help him find a good deal on luggage and she told him to look into buying Tumi Luggage. To be perfectly honest, I had never heard of Tumi Luggage before, but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

The biggest point of the gift, however, was the fact that inside the luggage was a travel brochure to Orlando, along with a couple of fake airplane tickets. I have to say that they were fake because he didn’t dare book a real trip without checking with me to see when I would be available to go on vacation with him. And we have to make arrangements for someone to look after his customers and our pets, and our gardens while we are gone. Anyway, it was a nice surprise, and now we need to buckle down and figure out the dates and work out the logistics of it all!

A Nice Pair of Cigar Cutters

Posted on by

This year, for father’s day, instead of buying my father a box of cigars, as I have been doing for so many years, I have decided to buy him a nice set of cigar cutters. He has been complaining about his current cigar cutters and I know that he hasn’t gone out and bought new ones, as of yet.

Since Father’s Day is coming up in just over a months time I think that I will go ahead and start looking around online and see what is out there on the World Wide Web. We really don’t have any tobacco stores around here, the closest one is over an hour and a half’s drive from here and I rarely go to that part of the state. Online is the way to go. I’ll be looking for free shipping and discounts along the way. I’m in no hurry, but I don’t want to wait until the last minute either.
