I went to Amazon to update my wishlist and decided to check out my Gold Box Offers and guess what? The Gold Box is HUGE now! There were 15 offers instead of 5. Wow! When did they change that?
Speaking of Amazon, I really wish you could just rearrange items on your wishlist. Some things I want at the top, some at the bottom – like the items you wish for the most. I finally resorted to deleting items and then adding them back to the wishlist. What a pain!
Not only is today Friday the 13th – it’s also the 2 week marker for my birthday countdown! Just 2 weeks until I’m 33. Wow. I can’t believe it. Well, considering the wonderful people that are already 33, I think it’s a great group to join!
Speaking of upcoming events, I keep seeing commercials for Dr. Phil’s new show. One of the lines in the commercial is, “Why is this woman crying?” Hello? Have you ever watched Dr. Phil? He makes everyone cry! It just cracks me up every time.
A crime has been committed and Mini needs your help solving it. Thieves have stolen valuable paintings and a Mini Cooper S. Get briefed here and then apply to join the team in Barcelona to solve the crime. [via Metafilter]
Just a little reminder… over at Big Blogger All-Star! they are voting to eliminate one of the final four from the game. I’m one of them. If you have a moment, please go to the Yahoo! polls and vote by placing a check mark next to Ken, Ashley & Rusty’s names. Yes, all 3. No idea why Ernie set the polls up that way and we don’t question the master. Polls close at 6pm PST (that’s 9pm EST/8pm CST in case you wondered.)
THANK YOU for taking the time to vote. Please leave me a comment and let me know if you did so I can come and thank you directly. Meanwhile, I love seeing in the Member list there all of the names that I do recognize that have signed up in just the past 24 hours alone. You guys ROCK!
