The Dealer

I am worried about my husband, I think he is addicted to Vinylmation. I mean, I already knew this, but I didn't know how bad it was. Yesterday, he tells me he has a dealer. A vinyl dealer. I am a little concerned. This past week hubby met a man who has some very, very, good deals on vinyl's. Apparently this guy's dad is a toy dealer who gets a lot of free toys. So the son who is looking to make some $$ on the extra's has been giving my hubby some amazing deals. It's like "The Godfather," deals that are too good to pass up. Hubby's "toy dealer" texted him yesterday so we are going down to the OC tomorrow to pick up another good bargin. Anyone need the 1955 TicketBooklet Series??? Limited Edition. We have 3 sets now so looking to unload 2 so that the one we bought would be free. Now, these deals will only be good if hubby gets on eBay and sells them. I don't mind expanding my vinylmation collection as long as he is making money to support it and boy do we need the support at the rate we are going! hehehe This whole collecting thing is all good fun. It's like baseball cards, you just got to get the rare one!! The Don Mattingly of Vinyl. Despite the knowledge that he now has a dealer, it's actually quite fun to see what kind of deals he makes. They seem to be pretty good. Anyhoo, if you are looking to start a collection of your own I can probably help you get started.

Here are some of my new ones as of this week.

Hub surprised me yesterday with the "Condiment Set" which retails for $85 but he got for $50. This set features: Ketchup w/ nozzle top, Mustard, Mayo, Honey and Salt & Pepper. The Honey Bear is the cutest! My other favorites are Mustard and Ketchup. I put ketchup and mustard with "Cheeseburger" and "Watermelon." I put Salt and Pepper next to my Muppets Swedish Chef cuz every chef needs some spice. And I put Honey Bar next to Cookie Jar


Hub's Dealer got him some Animal Kingdom ones: They retail for $10 and hubby got em for $4.50. So I approve that deal.

My new sets for the week are Animation 1 Series and Holiday 2 Series.


I am not necessarily in love with these but they were such a good deal hubby bought them for me. He got a bunch of extras of theses so if you need one, I can make you a good deal. If I don't keep these I will be taking these to Florida to trade.

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
