He would think I was off my rocker…

If I asked for one of these watches a Jaeger Le Coultre watch. I have browsed this site, and have found quite a few I like. White gold and diamonds, what more could a girl ask for?? Maybe a preowned watch could be the route to go. The hubby likes to get the expensive guitar amps, I can ask for a very nice watch right?

For now I can dream can’t I?

Posted by: Jodi  :  Category: Uncategorized

I saw a post on one of my many forums I belong to and thought it was interesting. So I went to this site to check it out. What is it you ask? All you have to do is do a post a day on your blog. This home site is kinda like myspace or facebook in the sense of everyone joins this group. I signed up today, you can view my page if you want. Now to keep up with blogging every day! I tend to slack off a bit on the weekends, but will try hard to do a post once a day. I may get sneaky and do a few posts on Thurs/Fri and post date them for the weekends.

Floam

Posted by: Jodi  :  Category: product ideas

Have you seen this as seen on tv informercial for Floam? Trent saw this the other day and said he wanted some. It looks like it could be a lot of fun. Its safe and non-toxic and is made from special, tiny micro beads that stick to each other and can make anything you can imagine. From the different websites I have seen this on, you can make some fun masks, or mold it to cans to decorate them for pencil holders. I may have to look into it.
