“The Killer in Me” is being filmed downtown today. Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Casey Affleck and Simon Baker are in it… not sure which are in town though. I have a couple of errands to run but hoping to cruise over there and see what I can see before work. Read the story at newson6.com.

Chucks Part Two

By Stephanie | Toys

Today I bought a pair of black All Stars.  As I was checking out, the young sales clerk tried to convince me that I needed to get another pair. Green, maybe? Oh man, don’t tempt me, kid! When I got to work, a co-worker asked me about them.  Then asked how old I was.  Hehe.  Then he

Isn’t this the coolest Weber grill ever? I found it on Crate and Barrel while I was browsing online. Matt and I love grilling, we used to grill all the time, but we haven’t since coming back to America because we have yet to buy a grill.  I was holding out for some unknown reason this one!

I found a scooter on Craig’s List yesterday that I could have afforded to buy today. I was skeptical, and almost didn’t go, because I’ve never bought anything big on Craig’s List and it was being sold for half of what it was worth. Matt and I cruised over this afternoon to take a look.

Last night I bought this cute kitchen timer.  I’m really excited to get it and stick it to the stove.    There are several small things we need in our house to make things more convenient. The kitchen is one area of our home that functions fairly well… most of the time.  Every now and then we

You know how I know 2008 is going to be a good year? Matt just said he liked a duvet I like. It’s a miracle! I’m tempted to go get it RIGHT NOW so that he doesn’t change his mind. Also, you remember that chair I liked at Pottery Barn, the one Matt said he

Here’s a picture of the dishes we ended up buying. I really like them and Matt has come around too. Hehe. I was looking online and found them on Amazon for half the price we paid. Burn. I had thought about getting two sets, since ours has only four settings, but I didn’t want to

Pollyanna vs. Debbie Downer

My life has taken quite a turn. I used to look forward to the weekends, because my weeks were unpleasant and the weekends were relaxing. Now my weeks are great and my weekends are busy and somewhat stressful. I still have fun, because I get to hangout with my husband and friends, but we’ve been

We stopped in at the Pier 1 in Oklahoma City on our way to Colorado last month. They had a couch on sale that both Matt and I loved. We actually considered picking it up then and there, but decided against it since we weren’t sure how much stuff we’d be bringing back with us.

One Laptop Per Child

By Stephanie | Toys

I had heard of some computers being developed for poorer countries, but I hadn’t heard of anything lately. David Pogue at the New York Times has done a little review of the $100 XO laptop. They will be offering them to the U.S. for a couple of weeks coming up soon. If anyone is looking
