I've been wearing my LiveStrong bracelet almost everyday since I got it. I know people think these are tacky, but I like them. I was over at Jesser.org the other day and she had posted a link to a site where you can order your own silicone bracelets called ReminderBand. I'm thinking of maybe having some produced with my design business name on them.

Someone on a forum I frequent posted a link to a site called abc distributing. While looking around over there, I saw this novelty toilet dog bowl that I absolutely must have once I get another dog. Since every single dog I've ever had in my life has been determined to drink out of the toilet, this thing would be perfect.

On a related note, my friend Amy found a great dog brush called a FURminator for her dog Grace. It's supposed to be absolutely amazing at getting those thick undercoats out. I know that was one of the biggest problems I had brushing Ursa and since I'd like to get another Malamute, I wanted to make note of this product before I forget about it. She got hers on eBay, but they sell them at PetSmart and Petco, too.

When Marcus and I got back from dinner, we were looking at all of the spiders that have spun webs outside on our siding. We were discussing that we really need to get another pressure washer to get those webs off. They really are unsightly and our hose just doesn't have enough power to get them off since our water pressure here is so lousy.

We used to have one and we used it a lot. They are great for cleaning engines and getting the crud of of wheel wells when you're washing your car. We really need to get out and see what's out there.

Three weeks ago I wrote about a Mediflow Waterbase Pillow and today I went to J.C. Penney's and bought one. I saw on Laura's site that the company was offering a $5 rebate and it turns out the Penney's also had them on sale this week. I took it as a sign that I was meant to get one. Of course, the Penney's by my house doesn't stock them. I had to go to Park Meadows Mall. Gah, I hate that place.

Even though I've been exhausted, I just can't sleep. Part of it, I know, is my pillow. I figure that if this little investment makes me actually sleep, it will be so worth it. I have been in the worst mood this week, all due to lack of sleep due to the Blogathon and my insomnia.

I've only put my head on it for a short bit, but so far it feels good. We'll know for sure tomorrow morning.

OK, I understand people paying large sums of money to get something that is sold out of a store right before Christmas. But paying inflated prices on eBay for an iPhone when there is plenty in stock still and you can order them for retail directly from Apple's web site? That I don't get. People are dumb.
