The Academy Awards show ran too long for me to be able to watch them last night. But this morning I heard on the news that the “Hurt Locker” won both the best movie and the best director. I think they won a few more awards, too. This is really cool – a movie that shows the closest thing to real war without being a documentary. Very cool.
Hurt Locker Wins Best Movie

Bad Brakes

A few weeks ago – maybe it was a little longer, like a couple months ago – I’m not sure how long ago. It seems like a few weeks ago. I heard that Toyota was recalling their floor mats. At the time, I was thinking, why would they blame anything on a floor at? That makes no sense to me! Turns out that there was something wrong that was much worse than a floor mat – and a lot more expensive to fix. Bad move, Toyota.
I’m a tight wad you might say

Now that I don’t make as much money as I did when I worked full time, I have learned how to be really tight with my money. One thing that really helps is shopping online. One of my favorite places to shop online is Cymax. I was surprised to find Cymax discount coupons online and saved even more money. Have you ever checked them out?
Believe it or not but I also found Sun & Ski Sports discounts coupons too. Saved me a bundle so I can afford to pay for my gas to go skiing this winter. Cool huh? If you look, you might find discount coupons for what you want too.
It still hurts

I’m sure if you were old enough to remember Sept. 11th when the twin towers fell, then you remember exactly where you were when it came across the news. I will never forget the sick feeling I got in the pit of my stomach and still get to this day when I think about the sight of those two planes crashing into the twin towers.
The horrific loss of life that day not only at the twin towers in New York but also the other two planes that went down, was just too unimaginable in our country. It left all of us feeling frightened and really, terrified was more like it. We all have seen things like that happen in other countries but not here at home.
God Bless the families of those that were lost that day and God Bless America!!!!
Hot dog it’s a three day weekend!!!

I’m sure that everyone is as excited as I am about this three day weekend. Working retail for so long has really made me appreciate a long weekend. When you’re the manager of a discount retail store, all three day weekends mean to you is that someone is going to call in sick and you’ll have to work ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!! I really am glad I decided to go back to school and quit that job.
So here I am heading out to the beach for a long weekend and then hitting the books and back to class. Man does that sound good or what?
