Ain't Cheap!

So today we headed off to Pacific Sales aka Best Buy to purchase all new appliances. After doing his homework, hubby had a good idea of what we wanted. So Baby Girl and I headed over to Los Feliz today to do a bit of shopping...well, it turned out to be a lot. What was nice about Pacific Sales was that they weren't overly pushy and what I hate most is salespeople. Even at the mall they freak me out. We had gone to Sears the other weekend and we had several salesmen and women approach us until we finally let one talk to us. We went in to Pacific Sales and a nice guy in his twenties came up and struct up a conversation. After 5 minutes I knew he was cool and progressed to let him show us appliance after appliance. He was very knowledgable about all the products. He took us through stoves, fridges, stove hoods, garbage disposals, washer and dryers, and dishwashers. What was nice is that he was telling us the pluses and minus of a few products and he let choose what we liked. We ended up going with LG products so that our kitchen will look uniform. Additionally, we have all stainless steal products. Even the washer and dryer are a grey color. I am sooo excited. How many times in your life can you go into a store and buy all new stuff? Not many. This was a real treat for us. For all of our shopping efforts our sales guy threw in free $1500 pots and pans from Germany and a knife set. Hubby and i had to laugh because he made a big deal about the cost of the pots and pans. Hubbers and I were why don't you just deduct $1500 from our total and forget the pots? Anyhow, we got out at the price we thought we spend. We got a ton of items on sale. Pacific Sales price matches so we got the best prices in town. Now to see everything in our new kitchen!

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 ...
