My neighbors have to be the slowest at renovating their home

by The Shopping Maniac

Our next door neighbors are remodeling their home. The only problem is that they’re doing the work themselves and they only come by once a week or even only once every two weeks to work on the house. At this rate their house will be done in about two years!

Surprisingly at least one of the neighbors was next door working on the house all day today, from early morning until about 9 pm in the evening. They hadn’t come by since last week and they rarely come by during the week – especially not during the day during the week so it was surprising to hear them working on the house today.

It was so cold today too. Whatever they’re doing inside the house must be toxic because they keep opening the windows – all of them! With it being so cold and the windows being open I can only imagine how big their gas bill is going to be!

They must be redoing the bathroom. I was talking to them about their plans and they told me about how they’re going to put in a really nice shower and new cabinets and maybe even a Robern Medicine cabinet. It sounds like it will be nice when it’s done.

Have you ever had neighbors that slowly renovated next door to you?

Shopping for a Laptop computer

by The Shopping Maniac

My husband and I will be doing a lot of shopping around this weekend. Yes, I’ve just decided that it’s going to be a comparison shopping weekend.

I was just saying on my main blog that I’m pretty sure that I need to get a new Laptop. The problem is that I don’t know what I want to get. By this I mean I don’t know what brand I want to buy nor do I know whether I want a pc or a Mac. I’ve never had a Mac, but I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a Mac for years now .. so now might be the time to get one.

The only other problem is that we’re perpetually short on money … I think we need an easy personal loan or maybe we should buy some lottery tickets! Yes .. that’s an idea!

Parties at work each week?

by The Shopping Maniac

My husband came home from work this evening and told me that next week their having a big birthday party for two of his coworkers. It seems like they’re always having a party for one reason or another at his work. Just on Wednesday they had a party for someone who was leaving.

Anyway … one of the nurses is turning 30 and I was looking around on the internet for some gift ideas and I came across this site that had some great ideas in this category – gourmet 30th birthday gifts. My husband said that the nurse really enjoys cooking and baking so maybe a gourmet gift would be a good idea. Since it’s already Thursday I’ll just have to see if I were to order something if it would arrive in time for the party.

Does your workplace have a lot of parties? How do you manage, do you buy gifts or bring food for each party?

A visitor in the spring?

by The Shopping Maniac

My brother in law called just a little while ago. I guess he’s going to be coming for a visit sometime in the early spring. It’s always interesting when he visits, that’s for sure!

While we were talking to him on the phone he was telling us about some new things he bought. I guess he’s taken up hunting which is something totally new to him and he bought a bushnell legend for his riffle. I don’t know anything about hunting or guns so the conversation went over my head, but he was happy so I guess that’s good.

Now we just have to prepare for his imminent visit. I think it will be during spring break. The first few days will be ok but I’ll probably be ready for a quite house again by the end of that week.

Another visit to the Health Store

by The Shopping Maniac

The other day I went to one of my favorite new stores. It’s called Healthy Planet.

It’s sort of a combination organic bulk food store and health supplement store. I don’t go there often, but I had to go there to get more magnesium (I take it for my migraines).

Whenever I visit the store I always find myself wandering each aisle looking in all the bulk bins and at all the shelves. They have so many spices, even a ton of natural diuretics like juniper berries. Oh and the last time I was there I bought chocolate covered ginger. Yum. It was so good. Not cheap, but tasty.

Do you have a favorite store that you go to where you cruise up and down the aisles when you visit?
