Would you pay $47.00 for a potato masher?? I know I wouldn't. At Cooking.com, you can buy this masher for that price. It's a nice stainless steel potato masher but I don't think it's worth almost $50. This one is less then $20 and it looks very similar to the $50 masher. I won't pay more than $10 for a masher. As a matter of fact, the masher I do have at home was about $5 and I've had it for years. It is similar to the picture above but the handle is made out of wood. So, do you … [Read more...]

What is all the fuss about Twilight?
March 29, 2009 by 5 Comments
Everywhere I go, I see Twilight. Twilight over here, Twilight over there. Twilight is EVERYWHERE. After I heard from several people that they loved the movie Twilight, I couldn't help but wonder what the fuss was all about. I saw the previews on TV and thought, ok, it's not Interview with a Vampire but it still seemed like a pretty good movie. Now that I think about it, maybe I should have read the book first. Oh well, maybe that can be my Summer read. Anyway, after it came out on … [Read more...]

Below is a conversation I had with my 4 year old. We were just about to have dinner so I asked my 4 year old to call her brother over for dinner. Here is what the conversation was like: Nessa: Steven, dinner's ready. Nessa: Look Mom, here's your brother. Mom: (laughing) No baby (Yes, I still call her baby), he's not my brother, he's my son. Nessa: No, he's not. He's your brother Mommy. Mom: Baby, you're my daughter and he's my son. Nessa: No MOMMY!! He's your brother, he's … [Read more...]

Hackers.
March 24, 2009 by 3 Comments
I don't know why they think by commenting their filth on my blog, that I will approve their comments. Are they serious? Are they joking? Come on people! Some comments are really funny and sometimes convincing until you read the whole thing. It'll start off by saying: "Hey, I like your site. Great job". Then they will add see Jessica Biel and Jennifer Lopez nude, Buy Viagra and see its effects and more naked celebrities. You know what hackers? NO THANK YOU!! Take your … [Read more...]

Woman shot by arrow in NYC.
March 20, 2009 by 1 Comment
Can you believe it? I was shocked when I heard the news on TV. This happened in the Riverdale section of the Bronx yesterday. It appeared to be an accident. The 27 year old man that was arrested said he shot an arrow into the white fence in his backyard (he uses arrows for target practice) but when it went through the fence, it ricocheted up and that's when the woman got shot in the stomach (OUCH!). At first, she thought a baseball bat that slammed into her. Poor lady was just … [Read more...]
Sorry peeps!

I'm sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I'm on a quest to look for a job and it's taking my time away from blogging. I'll be back with some exciting tings, I hope. On another note, my sister texted me some pictures of New York City that I wanted to post but I haven't uploaded them to my computer. I should be back real soon to show them and hopefully post about a giveaway I promised a few weeks ago. Take care everyone! … [Read more...]
This store is now my best friend.
March 15, 2009 by
CVS! Yes, you read that right. There are quite a few blogs that have a great explanation on how CVS's Extra Care Bucks (ECB's) work. MoneySavingMom was the very first blog that taught me how to "CVS". After I read her tutorial, I was hooked. I don't save a lot all the time but when I do, I come out of the store with some free or almost free products. The catch is you must use coupons to maximize your savings and you have to buy items that give you big CVS bucks (ECB's) back. … [Read more...]
It’s Friday the 13th once again.
March 13, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Do you remember we just had Friday the 13th last month (Feb. 13)? Some people believe it's a bad luck day and others (like me) think it's just another day. This time it's a special day for all you shoppers, especially if you have Kirkland's nearby. Kirkland's is having a nice "meaningful" sale. They have 13 items on sale for only $13. But it's only for today so don't forget. Click here for a $10 coupon for purchases over $50. ********************************************* *I … [Read more...]
