Moomin Postcard #4

I love this Moomin postcard because it has a recipe on it. Granted the recipe is in Finnish so I cannot read it but still I think it's a pretty neat idea to put a recipe on a postcard. Perhaps one of my readers will be able to translate the recipe so we can all try it! :-)

Black Friday Adventures

Yesterday was Black Friday, the day that my mother and I go out for some super shopping. We left on Thanksgiving day at about 8 pm to go stand in line for Best Buy. We were in line for my new computer (yes I'm writing this blog entry on my own new computer...yay!) until they started handing out tickets for items at 3:30 am. As a reminder I live in Minnesota so it was quite the experience to go wait outside for so long! After we got our ticket for my computer we left to go to Kohl's (Best Buy didn't open until 5 am while Kohl's opened at 4 am). After we were done at Kohl's we went back up to Best Buy to use our ticket to get my computer. When we were done at Kohl's we headed up to Target and then went on to Fleet Farm. After that we had to head home to bring my son up to daycare and my boyfriend up to work. Once we were done with that we headed up to Rosedale mall so we could go to Herberger's sale. After that we went to K-Mart and then LeAnn Chin's for a late lunch. It was a super long day and we were both very tired but we ended up getting a lot of good deals so we were happy.

Cool Cams

My boyfriend found these really cool cams and I want to share them with all of my readers. The first one is of a eagle's nest; neither of us have ever gotten to see the eagles yet but hopefully we will soon. The second link is to the panda exhibit at a zoo; we both have seen the pandas and they are so cute! I could seriously watch them for hours. I hope you check them out and enjoy them as much as we have :-)

Plymouth, MN

As promised here I am to write another entry to my wonderful blog. As most of you probably don't know Plymouth, MN was voted by Money Magazine as the best place to live in the USA. This makes me very happy because I happen to live in Plymouth, MN. I never would have thought that a place like Plymouth would even be considered; of course one never thinks that the place that they live would be voted as the best place to live in the USA. I moved to Plymouth back in 2002 and have lived there ever since (with the exception of going to college during the school year). I have enjoyed living here and I'm proud to say that I'm from the best place to live in the USA!

Hello!

While I still don't have a computer and I'm still not at 100% health wise, I am feeling a lot better. After 3 trips to Urgent Care I finally am starting to feel better. I will be starting to write about every weekend (my loving boyfriend lets me use his computer on the weekends since mine is out of commission) until I am able to find the energy and time to get out and buy my own computer. For now that's the update, so stay tuned for a normal entry as of next weekend. Yay!

Sorry

I just wanted to appologize to all of my readers. I have been sick and my good old computer has finally bit the dust. I am still not feeling very well and I am in the process of getting a new computer. I will post as often as I can until I am back at 100% (health and computer wise) which is when I will start posting more regularly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Pet Peeve #3

One thing that drives me nuts is when people are talking on their cell phones while they are alone with someone else. For example when you are out to eat with a friend and they receive a phone call on their cell and they sit and talk to whoever it is for over 5 minutes. Do they notice that while they are chatting away on their phone that you are left sitting there with nothing to do but look at them? Another example would be when you are in the car with your significant other and they receive a phone call on their cell and thus leave you sitting there with nobody to talk to while they chat the car ride away with whoever called them. People need to realize that the person who is right there in front of them is more important than whoever is on the phone; people need to be respectful of the person who is actually spending their time with them instead of whoever is on the phone. I totally understand if you take a phone call from someone like your parent's or a business call and such, but when you are just talking to someone who is insignificant rather than paying attention to the person who you are actually with, you are simply in the wrong and are being extremely rude.
