I got a purse for ten bucks at Wal-Mart. We’re broke and can’t afford to be blowing money, but I really needed a new purse, so I splurged with a ten dollar bill and got a new purse.

Well, I was so excited to have this purse. I got it home, emptied my old purse and loaded the new one. Then I turned to Lonnie in an excited tone and said, “Look at the new purse I got!!!” His reply: “Looks like a glorified camera bag.”

Immediate bubble burstage. I went from being totally stoked to being all upset because he hates it.

So now I need to know what you think. Don’t worry about my feelings. Be HONEST. Honesty is of the utmost importance to me.

Thank you in advance for any input you can give me.

Remember - honesty is the best policy!

Soooo, as I do once in a while, I like to share my neato finds with you. I honestly can’t even remember how I came across Toro, but I’m certainly glad I did. As I’m sure you can guess, I’ve tried almost every single Twitter client I can get my hands on. I’m a freak for gadgets like this. I’ve even attempted to download some apps after I’d already gotten Toro. Big mistake and waste of time. None of the other Twitter clients I’ve come across have anything close to what Toro offers.

Although Toro is still in its Beta form AKA a baby, it still blows the other clients out of the water. TweetDeck included. Its refresh rate is awesome! I’ve never had a Twitter client that refreshes as quickly and as problem-free as Toro does. Not only that, but the developer, Christopher Hayen is always on Twitter asking for input and wondering what we, the users, would like to see as the develpment of Toro continues. On a personal level, I’ve gotta say that Chris is really a nice guy. Honestly. I’d never push a product for someone - no matter how awesome the product was - if the person behind it wasn’t cool. Chris is a very friendly guy with a good sense of humor and reading his Tweets is interesting and gives us a glimpse into his life and the life of his girlfriend, Alix. (I aplologize if she’s Chris’ fiancé or if I’ve misspelled her name.)

Anyway, the point is that if you use Twitter and aren’t using Toro, you’re completely missining out on something great! If it’s this great now, just imagine how awesome it’ll be once it reaches Alpha status!!!!  

• I just finished mowing the lawn. I mowed the front yard, the back yard, my neighbor’s front yard, and my neighbor’s side yard. When my OCD kicks in, you’d better look out. I’ll mow right over ya’!  

• I’m going to be seeing another new doctor tomorrow. I’m hoping this one will be good. The last one I went to was alright, but clearly seemed overwhelmed by the amount of issues I’ve got going on. I need someone who is strong and able to take the issues on and beat them into submission!

• I cannot get that freakin’ “Chocolate Rain” song out of my head. It’s not the original, thank God. It’s the Chad Vader version. I loves me some Chad Vader. His videos are SO funny.

• My Mom already lost her job. :sigh: The people sent her home today…telling her it wasn’t a “good fit”…whatever the heck that means. Here she goes again, though. The job hunt continues.  

• Do I even need to bother saying that I have nothing planned for dinner? It’s a given at this point, isn’t it? I never plan this stuff out.

• I’m wearing a pair of Lonnie’s boxer shorts (blue) with a v-neck undershirt of his. I look so feminine and dainty right now.       I was hot, so I grabbed whatever was close to put on!

• I surprised Lonnie with a bagel a little while ago. I toasted it and put cream cheese on half and butter & strawberry jam on the other half. I thought it’d be a nice gesture. Well, when I brought it to him, I got a, “Oh, thanks”…and that was about it. I said, “Hmm…I thought it was pretty nice of me to do that for you.” He said that it was and that he appreciated it. Once again - actions speaking louder than words.

• Smoked Almonds are the shiznit.

• My son’s Math teacher called a little while ago. He has a big, fat F in Math. Wonderful. Here we go again.

• I still have yet to hook my webcam up.

• I’ve got a hilarious Photoshop idea going on in my head. I need to pump that sucker out soon…Casey knows what it is. I’m sure she’s anxious to see it, too!    

• I gotta turn some music on before this whole Chocolate Rain thing drills a hole right through my frontal lobe.

• Okay, Danzig it is.

• We watched a movie last night. I can’t even remember which one it was. That pretty much says how much I enjoyed it, huh?

• Meh…Danzig is not hitting the spot. Time to look for something else…

• Skinless it is.

• Lonnie probably wants to smack me for paying some real music. I can’t help it. A person can only listen to that other jive for so long ’til they just NEED a fix of the stuff that makes ‘em truly happy.

• It pisses me off that I can’t bake my kid treates to bring to school on her birthday. They have to be prepackaged bullshit treats. Not cool. As if I’m going to poison my child’s classmates? I mean, come on! Isn’t that taking it a bit far? I want to make the most adorable cupcakes ever, but they won’t let me.    

• I am completely addicted to Plackers. I use those things at least twice per day. They make flossing SO much easier! I have ‘em in my purse, in my car, in my bathroom…everywhere I might end up needing them! They’re really thrifty, too! Totally worth each cent.

• GAH! I’m not enjoying this music, either! I’m so indecisive today. Gotta go look for something better….

• Okay, now I’m going with Devildriver. Most certainly not my favorite band on the planet, but darn it. I just cannot make up my mind!

• There’s a basket of clean clothes sitting on my bed waiting to be hung up. That is SO not like me! I can’t believe they’re just sitting there. I’m not even going nuts wanting to hang them up, either. I wonder if that new medication is starting to actually work. I kinda hope not. I mean, if it makes me lazy, who the heck needs that?!

• I feel like baking something. Cupcakes, a pie, maybe even some candy. Not sure. Just something. I’ll have to look through my cookbooks and my online sources.

• Alrighty…I guess I’m done babbling about absolutely nothing. Thanks for hanging in there with me. If not for you, my readers, I’d have a sucky life! You guys keep me going…especially those of you who comment. I love you guys!

Self heating coffee? Huh?      You’re kidding, right?!

Heck no! The people over at OnTech have come out with this nifty container which is self heating!    

Next time you’re waiting in line at a coffee shop, frustrated at taking time out from your busy day, remember that whether you are on your way to work, driving to a soccer game, or just on ehw ay home for a movie night, Hillside Coffee is the most convenient and delicious on-the-go option. Available in four great flavors: French Vanilla, Mocha, Hazelnut, or Doubleshot.

I personally tried the Mocha variety. I was astounded when I took the first sip and not only was it super hot, but tasted really good as well! These little suckers are kinda spendy…I’ve seen them from $2-$3 a piece, but if you’re in a bind, I think it’s a good buy. Of course, you want to keep in mind that just because it feels heavy doesn’t mean that’s the weight of what you’ll be drinking. The junk inside that makes it heat up weighs quite a bit from what I can tell. My professional estimation is that you’re getting about 12 onces of tasty goodness. Not too shabby, really!

Anyway, that’s my recommendation for today. I really enjoyed it…it was a pleasant surprise!  BTW - HERE is a video I took of Lonnie earlier. He didn’t want me to post it, but damn it…he’s just so adorable and handsome. How can I resist?
