I am extending to all my blog readers a special offer from Handbag Heaven. On my sidebar you will see a new little banner ad that you can click and receive 15% off your next purchase. They have a load of gorgeous bags that I just DROOL over. I enter their contests every time they have them, although I have yet to win. I love this company! They make me smile. One day I hope to win something, and even if I don’t I will be glad to one day become a regular customer instead of just a window watcher.

I still need to buy us an external hard drive. There are some cheap ones on Sale right now, but I really want to research first. The other thing on my husband’s mind is to get another computer all together in addition to the one we already own. I think that both are great investments. We need to set up our studio computer so we can get our beats done on our own and produce our cds.

I am looking for some smaller furniture to fit into our new, smaller apartment. It’s definitely not a space where you could add in some home theater chairs and call it a day. It is going to take TIME… I only have 2 weeks! Well, at least I know we can put the big couch in storage till we decide what to do for the smaller apartment. We are just waiting for the finalization of the lease and certificates so we can sign and be done with it. As far as everything goes right now, we are moving in on March 1st. Praise the Lord!

I was talking to my mom about the great deals I found on Black Friday, and remarking about the people who still don’t have presents after that excursion. I was thinking about getting my dad some pajama pants or the ever popular standby of assorted silk ties.That’s when she clued me in to what my dad REALLY wanted for Christmas: The Obama Coin. Apparently, Franklin Mint is the only one who has the coin AND the stamps, so I got that for him. I hope he is happy when he gets it. I think I ordered it in plenty of time to get it for Christmas.

Teehee the joys of living in a small town include that the longest line you are in is about 25 people long and the longest wait you have is for the store to actually open.

We were able to get ourselves a slew of things, as well as most of our Christmas purchases. God blessed us to be able to give within our means. I FINALLY got Garden State on official DVD, as well as some Madea/Tyler Perry joints. We were able to FINALLY get the little table set we wanted for when people come over. I couldn’t be happier. I won’t itemize EVERYTHING we got, since there are so many presents for other people. Just know we made out really well, saved a heap of dough, and we are extremely tired happy now.

It’s about that time again. It’s only been…well…like two years since I got a new pair of shoes. I need some really nice comfy shoes. If I had the mind *and the money* to, I would like to get some type of shoe that I would never buy for myself on a regular day. I am a bargain hunter, so buying Asgi shoes isn’t usually my motive. It would be nice, just once, to splurge on something really nice like that for myself, though. Something unusual that would make me want to stare at them myself…
