Things I Didn’t Know I Wanted Until This Week [Greed]
Posted on November 25, 2009 by Ching under Wishlist.
Brian mentioned to me the other day that one of his coworkers (Alicia) has replaced her cubicle chair with a balance ball. She sits on it all day while she works. It’s supposed to be really good for you. Not only does it help you maintain the proper posture while you work, but it also helps you work your core muscles without even thinking about it.
So I decided I wanted a BalanceBall Chair. Incidentally, Gaiam is currently offering $20 off its best-selling BalanceBall Chair
. Now would be the time to get one.
Also, have you seen the Reebok EasyTone commercial lately? I didn’t really pay much attention to it until I read Gina’s review on Facebook. It sure made me want to buy one. Just goes to show the power of word of mouth.
Brian was like, “Haven’t you seen that commercial?” I had seen it, but I wasn’t really interested. I guess I don’t really believe commercials, but if a real life person told me to check something out then I would be more inclined to do so.
Oh, and we were at the gym last night and I was watching this turbokick class. Yeah, I was only watching. I’m not crazy enough to do that class. At least, I’m not ready for it yet. I noticed that some of the people in the class had on wrist weights. That’s a really good idea. I think I can get a pair from Wal-Mart for like $10 or so. I want one of those now too.

A Trip to the Nifty Nuthouse
Posted on September 19, 2009 by Ching under Food and Drink, Poker, Wishlist.
Brian’s coworkers Lance and Alicia joined us for lunch at My Tho the other day. Guess what is just around the corner from My Tho? Yup. You guessed it! The Nifty Nuthouse!
Since we got done with lunch pretty quickly and had fifteen minutes to spare, the four of us decided to stop by the Nifty Nuthouse on the way back to work. Alicia had never been there before.
SIDE NOTE: Kudos to My Tho for their promptness. Lunch was super quick. It seemed like within a couple of minutes of ordering, our server was back with our meals. Brian was surprised at how quickly our food was ready. I wasn’t surprised, though. I swear. I think they have vats of soups already pre-made and ready to go in the kitchen. =P
I’m actually glad that lunch was quick because we wouldn’t have had time to stop in at the Nifty Nuthouse otherwise. It is one of my favorite places to get chocolates. My other favorite place is Cocoa Dolce, but we only go when we feel like splurging (which we haven’t done lately). Cocoa Dolce artisan chocolates are pretty expensive. Your money goes a longer ways at the Nifty Nuthouse. Not to say I don’t love Cocoa Dolce because I do. They have fantastic truffles! But the Nifty Nuthouse is a good place to satisfy those chocolatey cravings on the cheap.
Brian loves their double-dipped chocolate-covered peanuts. I like their chocolate covered-pretzels. I got some to bring to poker and share with everyone. Brian got a pound of his double-dipped chocolate-covered peanuts, but he doesn’t like to share so he kept his at home.
Incidentally, I cashed in the home game at Uncle Roy’s on Thursday night. I think it was because I shared my yummy chocolate-covered pretzels with everyone and wasn’t being greedy. Further proof of my theory that the more you give, the more you get. It’s all about cultivating good karma. LOL. So much for poker skills, huh? =P
They were all still playing poker when we left (a cash game had started after enough people were knocked out of the tournament) so I just left the chocolate-covered pretzels with them. Rod seemed to really like it.
Anyway, it’s a shame that I didn’t have enough good karma to carry me through to today’s poker tourney at Harrah’s. Brian and I totally sucked. Well, we didn’t really suck but the cards sure did. The cards were just rotten. I have some theories about doing well at Harrah’s, too. More on that later.
For now, head over to the Nifty Nuthouse and satisfy those chocolate cravings!

September 26 is Museum Day
Posted on September 14, 2009 by Ching under Date Ideas, Things to Do, Wishlist.
Wichita State University’s Lake Afton Public Observatory (LAPO) will be participating in Smithsonian Magazine’s Museum Day. You know what that means? Cheap date!
I’m not keeping up with the Cheap Dates Blog anymore. It’s pretty much abandoned. I will continue to share my brilliant cheap date ideas here, though.
It’s a real shame because I think this is the day that we’re playing paintball. I’d never been to LAPO before and this would’ve been an excellent opportunity to go check it out. I guess LAPO isn’t going anywhere so I can check it out at some point. I could even wait until next year. LOL.
Anyway, go here to print your Museum Day admission card and here for a list of museums participating in this year’s event.
These are the placed I’d want to check out around these parts:
I’d been to all of these except for LAPO and the Cosmosphere. I’m still hoping that Brian will take me on a date to both places at some point before we’re too old to appreciate it. My eyesight continues to fail and get worse each day. Maybe we’ll get to go before the year is up.
