goodies.

so this weekend, we saw the purchasing of many goodies for our own personal pleasure use... thanks to coupons and discounts from work we went on a little shopping spree for some much needed items...

Purchase #1: A paper shredder
we've always wanted one of these things and now it is finally mine... let's just say the weekend was filled with the shredding of many important and not-so-important documents... i'm curious to see how it shred things other than paper (pencils, credit cards, lettuce, etc)... i'll be sure to find out soon...

Purchase #2: A scanner
this should have been purchase way back in the day, but i have just been too lazy to buy one... now that we have one, expect lots of pictures of scanned asses, faces, b-a-n-a-n-a-s (are you a holla-back grrl?), and probably shredded paper (and the other shred experiments i will try)...

Purchase #3: the long awaited TiVo (thanks B'z)
we've always had soo many TV program conflicts come those Sunday nites, where we were stuck in the Family Guy/Desperate Housewives dilemma... with TiVo, this dilemma is solved... these things are great... i thought that we didn't need one, but now that we are using it, we can't imagine watching TV without it... it's like a steroid-pumped VCR (only with lots of bells and gadgets and a cure little TV logo)...

Purchase #4: Shrimp-Galore
we then headed off to Red Lobster for their all-you-can-eat-shrimp deal, which is always worth it, cause anyone can eat like 1,298,482,328,232 shrimp... i don't see how all you can eat seafood places can ever make money off that deal (but i'm sure they somehow do)... hmm.. i wonder if i can scan/shred some left over shrimp...

Purchase #5: Hero DVD and Dawn of the Dead Director's Cut DVD
saw a gamestop and had to stop in to browse... lucky us they had a deal on some dvd's (2 for $10), so as i was perusing through them we found 2 pretty decent dvds... i'm a pretty big DVD snob now, in that i won't buy any dvd if it's not in widescreen format... i need to know that there is a guy on the far left pouring coffee, otherwise the movie just doesn't make sense... once i get bored of these movies, i'll be sure to see how sturdy this shredder is...

Purchase #6: let's dance with the Bravery
the bravery tickets at the small-ass Vic Theater... this is gunna be awesome, that place is tiny, and it's going to be like one big dance party...

Almost purchase #7: new digital camera
we found 2 that we really like, but we can't quite decide which we like better... it boils down to do we want better lookin' pictures or do we want a thin stylin' camera with so-so pictures... i'm always for the newest gadgets, so i'm all for the 4-credit card thin sony camera at 5.1 MP, but deep down inside, i know i should be going for the 7.2 MP a little bigger camera with better picture quality... i dunno, but we'll probably be getting something in the next week...

Purchase #8: new warcraft 3 cd
i've relapsed into starcraft, and now i am relapsing into warcraft 3... let's just say i was less than happy to find out my warcraft 3 cd is broken... withdraw symptoms quickly occured only to be cured by meaningless shredding...

Purchase #9 (sort of): wedding pictures
we got our wedding pictures from our photographer and they are awesome... they are the exactly what we wanted and they look great... our photographer Tara McKinney (www.alliancephotography.com) did a beautiful job... once we get the pictures re-sized i'll post a link up with them...

So, that was our weekend and as a new week begins, so does our new list of much needed items... hmmm giant foam cowboy hat? - check.
