Nokia Booklet 3G looks good to me....


"While Nokia might not be the first name you'd think of when shopping for a new netbook, the company is looking to change that with the Nokia Booklet 3G ($TBA). Running what looks like Windows 7, the Booklet offers solid specs, including an Intel Atom processor, a 10-inch HD display, integrated A-GPS, 3G/HSPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, a built-in SD card reader, HDMI output, webcam, an impressive 12-hour battery, and stylish aluminum chassis."

My Funny Puppy

After 40 minutes of following Scooby with the camera to get a picture of his face rather than his booty he finally sat down for the perfect shot. Too bad I didn't realize he still had eye boogers. Oh well, it just adds to his winning personality or mystique or.....whatever they call his cuteness. Have a great day!

California Pizza Kitchen


I love CPK Frozen Pizza's! I usually bake them for lunch but I was running a little low on pennies last month so I bought the generic ones at Target. YUCK! Huge mistake, Lesson Learned.

Facebook

After several friends kept bugging me to join Facebook...I did it! Eek. It seems as though everyone I have ever known has access to me now! There were over 500 people from High School that came up first & I kept looking at the pictures thinking "The name sounds familiar but I'm not sure"...it has been 20 years after all.

But maybe Facebook is good. I thought high school was awful & I couldn't wait to go to college but there are photos posted of some really fun times that I had completely forgotten about, faces that I have missed and friends I wish I had kept in touch with.

But I'll never leave Blogger! Kisses

My High Horse: Michael Vic playing for the Eagles


I can not believe the Philadelphia Eagles had the audacity to hire Michael Vic. Re-employed at over 1 million dollars next year it doesn't seem as though his time in prison changed his behavior or impeded the National Football Leagues morals. I guess it makes sense though look at how long Daryl Strawberry stayed employed after his drug use and wife beating activities. UGH!

Therefore, I will be boycotting all Eagles games and Eagles sponsors. I'm not a big football fan anyway but I can not condone the leagues actions in this case. Major corporate sponsors are MillerCoors, Verizon Wireless, PepsiCo (nyse: PEP), Chrysler, Sovereign Bank (nyse: SOV), Anheuser-Busch (nyse: BUD). Naming rights sponsor is Lincoln National (nyse: LNC). KFC, Comcast, Sprint, Aquafina, Mastercard, Lincoln Financial (owners of the Eagles Stadium). (eek, Dunkin Donuts! Good thing the doughnuts at Publix are good!)
I hope you'll join me with your voice or actions to protest this mistake.

Jumping off my horse now.......

Shower Caps...back in style?



Isn't this adorable? It's a monogramed shower cap from Spa 1221 . There is also one with a grosgrain ribbon bow that I adore! I think these are the same ones sold at Neiman Marcus. They also have some with little bows all over...similar to the ones on Hopsys blog. :) Have a great day!

Mad 4 Madras? Maybe


For your most devoted friend. Not only is it pink but the brim has a madras print. The perfect preppy accoutrement for your pampered pet.

How cute is this?



Is this cute or what? I was buzzing around Bonanzle... just looking :)
and I found this wireless pink mouse for $18.
I couldn't resist it. I have one now but it's black but pink is tres chic!
What a find. Have a great day!

Junior Women's Club New Tampa Chapter


Tonight is the introductory meeting for the New Tampa Junior Women's Club at Winestyles. I'm very excited to try something new. I woke up early this morning, I couldn't sleep, now I'm drowsy but I'm afraid to take a nap cause I'll never wake up. :)


I'm participating in Hopsy's swap and I'm almost finished...just waiting for a delivery and it will go off to Jilly in Minnesota.


Ok, maybe I should take a nap.......

Neatdesk


I am not a techie and this device sounded too good to be true. Plus, I already have a scanner but I just had to try it. I must say it works exactly as described BUT if there was a search feature so I could find items I have to return and just print it out it would be divine! Here is the 411 from Uncrate:
"Get rid of the paper trail with the NeatDesk ($400). This compact ADF (automatic document feeder) scanner helps you declutter your desk and empty your filing cabinet, leaving more room for important stuff. Like snacks. With one-button scanning, the NeatDesk scans up to 10 receipts, 10 business cards and 10 documents at once (or a single 50 page document), and then organizes the copies and extracts the info for digital use. You can scan in a stack of business cards and populate your address book, or scan in a pile of receipts to auto-track your expenses (export to Quicken, Excel or Quickbooks), or scan in a document and turn it into a searchable PDF. The auto-organization and character recognition technology worked surprisingly well on the Mac unit we've been testing, and is going to make next year's IRS holiday a little easier to deal with. With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC."

Plaid Duct Tape? Yep


Maine Guide Duct Tape ($13/2-pack) solves your design problems by adding a stately green or red plaid pattern to the legendary fix-all, and while it's supposed to be for "sportsmen," we think it'll work just as well for fashion-conscious homeowner handymen.

Stephen Bonanno Sandals


Have any of you taken a picture of your sandals? There are several on the SB website but do cultured preppy girls really lift their legs and photograph their feet at international landmarks? This one seems more my speed :) Have a great day!

Now this is preppy....Eliza B


This may not be preppy but.....I LOVE SHOWTIME!


I saw this picture and thought that looks interesting so I ordered Weeds from Netflix. Now I am addicted! Nancy Botwin...what a nut....but I laugh out loud at least twice during each episode and they are only 30 minutes long.
