Athena's Day at the Beach

Really? I had no idea!

C & I went grocery shopping after work today; he had the list, I had the coupons.  After three years I thought I knew my husband, but apparently not.

I was plumb shocked that he had not a clue where anything was!  Lasagna, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, candied yams, canned pumpkin...no clue.

I kept trying to tell him offering to switch duties with him, but he was having none of it.  Which is just as well I guess since I suppose he should learn at some point.

I will say this: it was very endearing.

Another year

C's anniversary/early bday present to me.  This could possibly replace all of my cookbooks.  BUUUUUT...I can't & won't part with them.  :)  He also got me (us) a filter thingy for our Keurig so we can use "real" coffee instead of those cups all the time (NOT eco-friendly!!).

He has six fingers on his right hand

Xyron vs. Cricut

Sadly, my favorite thing to do right now is update my Amazon wishlist.  I use it as a reminder of what I'd like if I ever decide to buy anything for myself.  Particularly books.  If I don't write a title down (or in my case, add it to my Amazon wishlist) I don't remember it.  And then I have things on there like Vibram shoes.  Realistic?  Not so much.

At any rate, I somehow got routed around to the Xyron ($380) and Cricut ($103) "personal cutting machines".  Somebody should of thought twice before using that phrase.

Cricut

 

At any rate, here are the main differences I've been able to learn in a short time:

Xyron - initially more expensive, connects to your computer for designs, not all that portable
Cricut - less expensive initially, uses cartridges at $80-$90 a pop (yowza!), very portable

So I'm thinking, "Well darnit!  Which one am I going to put on my wishlist?!" 

My decision??  Perhaps I should start scrapbooking or paper crafting first.  ;oD

Can't believe my husband didn't show me this video earlier
