Square is Expensive!

Ok, I saw this at Save on Foods tonight and of course, I immediately had to pull out my cell phone to take a picture. I couldn't believe it. I had seen this awhile back on the Internet but this is the first one I've seen in person. I only saw the one so I'm pretty sure it's more of a gimmick than anything. I just find it hard to believe that there's a 100 dollar price tag on it. I mean...we all know that if someone actually bought this thing they sure wouldn't be taking it to the picnic to be sliced and diced into bite size pieces. No, I suppose it would just end up being a very expensive center piece. Be on the lookout for the reinvention of the apple. Great for when you happen to drop it in a stairwell. *s*

Poll Question

After what seems like an eternity I have finally posted a new question. Take a sec and check it out on the right side of my blog. I'm curious to know who takes advantage of cheesy tourist attractions! :-)

Water Park

Today will be a milestone for me. Having lived in Alberta for 23 years and the last 7 of those here in Edmonton. I am finally and somewhat hesitantly going to West Edmonton Mall's Water Park today. Family is in from BC and Calgary and of course it's one of the attractions they want to experience. So here I go...on a summer Saturday no doubt. This should be interesting and crazy busy. Pray for me.

View From The Crib

Snapped these shots before work this morning. It's common to look out the window and see hot air balloons floating by but they sure got up early to get themselves up and running at that time. I would have preferred sleeping in myself. *s*

Miss Me?

No, I haven't died. It was close...but you're all stuck with me for a good while yet. *s*

Slurpee Nation!

Go to 7-11 today for your FREE SLURPEE!!! I'm not a huge slurpee fan myself but I couldn't resist letting everyone know about something that was FREE. Don't know what size it would be but I imagine it's not a "shooter" cup. Oh thank heaven for 7-11. *s*

Zune!

I LOVE my new Zune and I want the world to know it!!! Ok, maybe not the world. That's a little much, but how about a handful of peeps? Yesterday I watched my Global News podcast at lunch time. Talk about SWEET...what a geek I am. I also got to check out the wireless sharing with Tyler last night. He has an identical Zune and we were able to share music without much hassle at all. Of course, you can only listen to the songs 3 times or if 3 days pass the media will be deleted off your unit. Not too bad as it allows you enough time to check out a cd and see if you enjoy it enough to grab it yourself. *s* It doesn't let you share movies though but that's not a big deal really. I don't want to wait around THAT long to get one of those puppies! So ya, I am thoroughly enjoying my new toy. If you're on the fence for a new media player...I highly recommend this product!

Purse Candy

Ok, so it's been years since I actually CARRIED one of these things around. That doesn't mean there aren't those that do. My next door neighbor in cubicle land, Loren whom I also worked with at Dell gave me his wife's card this afternoon. She has a small business and I thought some good old fashioned advertising for an entrepreneur would do just fine in this case. *s*

Have a lookie Some very nice stuff in there if one were into that sort of thing...or had wives and girlfriends that were!!! I'll put a permanent link up as well.

Useless Information

A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.

WHAT???

I need to verify if this is actually true or not. This seems a little...um...EXTREME.

Zune 80GB

I got one of these today! I plugged it into my computer and it synced all my music and a few other folders I wanted while it charged. I found the Zune software to be pretty easy to use and even the online marketplace was easy because I just signed in with my Hotmail account and I was downloading free podcast's within minutes. I checked out the FM radio and it works excellent. Gave the name of the station and a blurb...some stations show what song is playing which is superb! I haven't setup my wireless stuff yet. Basically if you have a wireless network you can sync wirelessly and also share media with other Zune friends. I've only used up about 8 gigs of space so I have a long ways to go! First test was my workout tonight. I was pleasantly bopping on the elliptical. As a side note...the reviews on the ear buds that get packaged with this unit are EXCELLENT. The only thing is, ear buds don't work for me because my canals are too tiny for them to fit in. Doh!!! Red has already put them to good use though. *s*

Check it out!

Update on Appliances

Operation "Spend Alot of Money" was completed successfully today. Mission will finalize with delivery on Friday.

Fridges and Stoves and Dishwashers...Oh My!

Well the fridge died last week. *s* Tan and Suz were kind enough to lend us their bar fridge for the time being. Today...the search is on for new appliances. We're going to upgrade the whole lot instead of having things mismatched. Why does it always seem like you are just making some headway when SHAZAM...out of nowhere another expense comes in??? *shrug* So ya, today I will be dissecting extremely overpriced stainless steel stuff. Pray for me.

Technical Difficulties

Teddy is experiencing technical difficulties tonight.

It seems like I have only touched a computer for the first time in my life today. I was having all kinds of issues with my email...using applications in Facebook and now my Blog won't post correctly. I give up.

A Walk Before The Fireworks!

Just got back from an hour long walk around the river. There were tons of people out and about looking for their perfect spot to view the fireworks that happen around 11pm. I'm going to watch them at a friends place here in the building...but on the west side. Can't see them from our deck unfortunately. I snagged a picture of the waterfalls that run off the High Level bridge. They do that once a year and it looked pretty cool in person. The other picture is a police boat keeping an eye on things. There were alot of boats on the water as well. That would be a great seat to have!

Happy Canada Day!

Hope everyone has a GREAT day and you get to see some fireworks! Looks like it's going to be another scorcher here in the city. Keep cool. Peace out Peeps.
