Is there a difference?
I saw this at Albertson’s today.

She chose a dress!
I’m back from Buffalo and Lori Beth found a wedding dress! She found several in fact. There were probably 3 top dresses she liked after we visited 3 places. She went back to the first place we visited and ended up getting a beautiful dress! Tracey, Nicole and I found bridesmaid dresses as well. I’m excited! It’s gonna be a lot of fun.
Unfortunately it was FREEZING in Buffalo the whole time I was there… felt like 0, but apparantly it was 11-14 degrees the whole time with wind and on Sunday it snowed just for me! (or that’s what my Aunt said). I got to see some family when I was there, which was a great treat. I really miss everyone because I don’t see them at the holidays! Photos from my visit on the right side in my Picasa album.
Buffalo
I’m going to Buffalo tomorrow on maid of honor and sister duty 
We (my twin sister, mom and her friend nicole) are going wedding dress/bridesmaid dress shopping this weekend. Excited to see everyone but bummed that it’s sooo cold out there. I especially won’t be prepared for it with the heat wave we’ve been having for the past 2 weeks. From 75-80 degrees down to 15 will be a tough adjustment. I’ll try to remember to take photos.. if my hands aren’t numb and can operate a camera!
Belkin Pays for Perfect Consumer Ratings
“A Belkin representative has been caught offering money to anybody who posts a 100% positive review of certain Belkin products on Amazon.com and other e-retailers. The bozo even used his own name.”
Nice Critic
So there’s this new site where you can anonymously send “helpful” messages. It’s pretty funny. Has everything from office etiquette, to personal hygiene to sports etiquette. Some of them cracked me up. I bet you can totally match up each message to someone in your life
Life gave me Lemons
Well, our friend Steve did. The Santa Ana winds knocked a bunch of lemons off his lemon tree, so he brought in bags and bags of them. Josh took a bag and I made lemonade. I also zested a few lemons and used it as air freshener in my car. Mmmm smells awesome in there!
Bleach + open wound = OW
You learn something new everyday. This was something I like to think I knew already, but learned first hand what it feels like today. In fact, I didn’t even know I had a cut on my thumb when I started cleaning. Josh says that makes me tougher… the not knowing I had a cut part.
Since the Santa Ana winds brought spring back to Los Angeles, I decided to catch up on some spring cleaning early. I’m seriously thinking of getting one of those crazy Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaners. Athough, I’m slightly uncomfortable with the idea of something wildly spraying chemicals around the shower and around my stuff in the shower that will ultimately be on my skin. I hate hate hate cleaning the shower. A glass enclosed shower is beautiful, but sometimes shower curtains just make things simpler.
Apple… waw waw waaaaaw…
I sold all of my Apple stock today. The last 50 shares. Poor Steve Jobs’ health doesn’t look good and he is what makes that company. Crazy, I had it for 8 years! Well not all 50 shares… I sold shares 3 or 4 times when it kept splitting and going up. I’m going to reinvest the money somewhere else, maybe in my rothIRA or 401K, afterall stocks are on sale right now! I’m just a bit concerned that it’s a quick an easily accessible amount of savings that I can count on whenever I need… investing it in retirement isn’t exactly easily accessible savings. Without any penalty at least.
Speaking of penalty… looking into refinancing my house this year before December 2009. Unfortunately it looks really difficult if you owe more than your house is worth at this point! Which is what… 95% of CA home owners?
