Storage Ottoman
Posted on April 18, 2010 by Ching under Shopping, Wishlist.
Darn it! The storage ottoman I got from Target last month went on sale. Brian said we got ours for $80 and now they’re only $67. Grrrr! Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
Anyway, I love, love, love this storage ottoman. We have in our bedroom at the end of the bed and it holds all my jewelry making and craft stuff. It worked out because now I have more room in my closet for other stuff. LOL.
If you’re looking for a good, cheap storage ottoman, then check this one out. You can get it both in stores and online (link at the left if you don’t have a Target store nearby).
I’m very happy with the purchase of this ottoman. The only thing that makes me mad is that I should have waited one month to do it. Booo!
P.S. Speaking of storage ottomans (benches), there’s a nice one at JC Penney for only $80 (regularly $180) in a beige-y cream color. JCP also has cheap $40 faux leather bar stools. They look great in the picture. I haven’t seen them in person, though.

Fabulous Pedicures
Posted on April 17, 2010 by Ching under Things to Do.
Becca, April and I got pedicures at Fabulous today. Pedicures are 50% off this month, so we got pedicures for $15. What a deal! I did have to give up my Saturday workout, though. I’m going to have to workout twice as hard tomorrow.

This is the nail color that I picked. The crazy thing is that I had gotten this nail color before at Beau Monde last year. I recognized the color as soon as I read the label. Cozu Melted in the Sun is a pretty memorable name for nail color. LOL.
I guess I’m subconsciously attracted to the same colors and shades. It’s funny how predictable people can be.

You Gotta Clip!

This is a great video by Katie. I thought I’d share it with you guys because coupon clipping is my new hobby. Brian would call it an obsession.

The 80’s are Back
Posted on April 17, 2010 by Ching under Movies.
My plans were foiled again. We met up with Misty and her niece April (who I hadn’t seen she was about seven years old; she’s a sophomore in high school now) for dinner and then we decided to go to Old Town Warren for Date Night. Bad idea. The movie was sold out by the time we got there.
We should have gone to 13th Avenue Warren which was just down the street from where we were. They have bigger auditoriums so it wouldn’t have been sold out there. By the time we got to OTW, it was too late to drive to the 13th one because the movie would have started.
Brian reminded me afterward that we were supposed to go to 13th because we were going to buy Iron Man 2 tickets (which went on sale this week, just FYI). After drinking an entire carafe of sangria by myself (Misty wouldn’t help me), I forgot. I told him he should have reminded me.
My memory is the first thing to go when I’m inebriated.
So anyway, we ended up watching Hot Tub Time Machine at April’s recommendation. It was actually better than I thought it would be. I still want to see Date Night, though. I think we will do $5 movie night at OTW this coming week so I can finally get that out of my system.
Death at a Funeral is another movie that looks like it would be really funny. I want to see that one, too. I guess Wednesday workouts are out for the next couple of weeks because we’re likely to watch that one on $5 movie night as well. LOL.
We did get our Iron Man 2 tickets last night, though. We stopped by 13th Avenue Warren on the way home and the box office was still open. We were the first people to buy tickets for the May 8th matinee in the balcony. We’re such nerds!
Brian’s been waiting for this movie since the first Iron Man. We had to make sure we got good seats.

Shopping for Toys
Posted on April 15, 2010 by Ching under Wishlist.
We took Matthias to Best Buy today to pick up a 32GB iPod Touch for one of his colleagues back in Germany. Apparently, electronics are much cheaper in the US. Probably partially because the value of the Euro is better.
Matthias did really well because he printed the web site page showing the iPod for only $269.99 (they were $299.99 at the store). Besides that, the store clerk didn’t charge him any sales tax so he got a really good deal for his friend.
While there, both Brian and Matthias took advantage of the opportunity to play with some iPads. They’re pretty neat. We’re too broke, though. I think we’re going to be late adopters on this one. =P
