How Do You Wake the Living Dead?
This week, for the first time in about a year, I overslept. On Sunday night, I set my alarm clock to 6:00 a.m. and went to bed. On Monday morning, my eyes flew open to 7:30 a.m. with my alarm clock shut off! My week has been like this - about an hour and a half off - not quite there - and fueled entirely by peanut butter cups and Diet Coke.
Walgreens Weekly Sales
Every Sunday, I get an e-mail from Walgreens about current sales. Normally, I ignore e-mails from stores concerning sales because:
1. Outside of grocery shopping, I rarely have time to shop at a real store.
2. Unless I see the word "free" or "half price", I don't pay attention.
3. I have way too much junk e-mail to ever, ever, ever read them all.
Homer Gifts
Homer Gift. A Homer gift is a gift intended for the person who gives the gift rather than for the recipient of the gift. The origin of this term is based on a Simpsons show where Homer gives Marge a bowling ball with the name HOMER engraved on the ball.
Unique Toy Web Sites (and Extension Cords)
As expected, my youngest son has an extensive Christmas list this year. He wants Moon Sand. He wants toy yard tools. He wants puzzles and Legos and Play Dough and race cars and a new toy camera. However, there is one item close to the top of my son’s list that stands out. There is one item different than all the other toys. It's an extension cord. Yes, my 4-year old son wants his own extension cord for Christmas!
