Thursday Thirteen #48

Thirteen Things I did to help stimulate the economy I know, lame topic. But I've been a bad blogger, and I felt really guilty not having posted since last Thursday Thirteen, and I've been wicked busy with the dayjob (but don't like to blog about it), so I thought I list 13 things I bought with my refund check. 1) A 1 gig flash-drive- yup bigger is better. :) This thing holds pdf files like nobody's business. 2) A new toaster over- this one has a removable crumb catcher, making it possible to clean, and less of a fire trap as my old one (so old it went into the dumpster instead of the Salvation Army). 3) A wire media rack- for my dvds, so I can use the wooden one for the extra paperbacks that came home with me from RT. 4) A neti pot- it's supposed to help with sinus problems (which I certainly have)- I jsut haven't gotten up the nerve to try it. Yet. 5)Gas- I do seem to do a bit of driving, but I try to carpool whenever possible. 6)Lunch and Dinners Out- the schedule has been really weird since I got back from Pittsburgh, slowly though I'm getting back in the swing of things. 7) Groceries- Boy, was that an eye opener, don't go shopping for a month, and it takes a lot of money to get caught up. 8) Books for me- I can't help it, people keep putting out great books, so I keep buying them. 9)Books for giveaways- Yes, I will be holding giveaways on my blog, most likely this summer, so keep a look out. 10)A new mattress pad- always nice to have, helps keep the mattress nice and clean. 11)New sheets- a soft butter yellow color, which should go well with... 12)A new quilt set (quilt and pillow sham)- lots of blues, and the perfect size for... 13) A New Bed (Yay!)- this one is a full-sized bed with a pillow top, and not one of those no-flip kind (which wear out twice as fast) and is being delivered Friday. I can't wait (Of course, I also have to clear a space for it, but that's a different list). Gotta go, I have a ton of stuff to get ready for my new bed to be delivered, I'll try to post my snippet tomorrow, but if I don't, have a great weekend. Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!
