Several months ago I discovered that I had a problem. My collection of mostly empty bottles of shampoo and conditioners would no longer fit in the hiding spot. Honestly, I didn't even realize that I had a mostly empty bottle of shampoo and conditioners collection. Cory is a very tidy man and things just disappear under the guise of "put away".
Anyhoo, this collection of mostly empty bottles seemed to indicate my inability to follow something through to completion sooooo we embarked on an adventure of mis-matched scents and body/volume control.
Today, after 4 long months, I heard the last bottle fart! With my clean hair (combo scent of Pantene, Outrageous and Dove), I get to buy new shampoo and conditioner. I can't wait to hit the shampoo aisle and start the smelling... I'm going to have matching bottles and scents. Very exciting.

New Favorite Hobby
I don't know if I can actually pass this off as a hobby or not but... Online Shopping is my new hobby. For those up north online shopping this isn't a hobby but a life requirement, but I live in a city with a billion shopping options just a few minutes away. Online shopping always seemed like a luxury and shipping and handling made it non-economical.
A few weeks ago I needed to replace the filter on my bag less vacuum cleaner. I could drive 5 minutes over to Wal-Mart and pay 18.97 for this filter but I like to avoid giving Wal-Mart my money whenever possible. Besides, if I go in for an 18.97 filter I will spend another $50 on crap. Plus Wal-Mart had been out of stock on my filter for over a month.
For curiosity only, I pulled up Google product search and searched for my filter. Well, including shipping and handling, I got my vacuum filter for $11.
Today I went searching for a mini DV Cassette for my Camcorder... I found one for $3.50 including shipping and handling. The Best Buy down the street is advertising the sale price of $10.99 for the same one.
This is just feeding the frenzy. Today the Canadian dollar is 0.9943, its payday and I need some stuff!

Christmas Shopping...
Well the whole idea of Christmas shopping is buying stuff for other people, but occasionally I get distracted by shiny things that I would DIE for... well not really die but would really really really really love to have.
As we dragged ourselves through Home Outfitters, complaining about sore feet and aching lower backs, from across the aisle this shiny beacon glowed....
It's counter-top hydroponic garden. How freakin cool is that?!?! Home Outfitters had the base model at $175.99 but I found it online for $149.99. It's about the size of a small mircowave. It promises a harvest in 28 days. This is on my must have list for moving North!!
P.S. I can post this cause unfortunately noone will be recieving this item on my christmas list even though it was the COOLEST thing in the stores.
