While I was chopping up my onions for my chili in my food processor last night, I noticed that it wasn't doing the job it used to. Instead of chopped onions, they came out more like mashed. I've had it forever, so it doesn't really surprise me that it's wearing out. With Thanksgiving coming up, it would be great if I could get a new one. I hate chopping stuff up by hand since using a machine is so much of a time-saver. There's a machine out there I might like to replace it with: The Ultimate Chopper. It's selling right now for $54.95 and includes a free blender attachment. That would be awesome since my blender died a long time ago and I've just been doing without one. I miss mixing my scrambled eggs in a blender. I just can't seem to get them as fluffy by hand.

The previously mentioned "White &Nerdy" hoodies are now available from WeirdAl.com for a mere $45. w00t!

I'd better get the job I interviewed for today. He said he'd let me know Monday if I would be called back for a practical 2nd interview and then he needed the job filled by the end of next week. So, we'll see. I've got the song "I Hope I Get it" from A Chorus Line running through my head right now.

I check out Jenna Fischer's (aka Pam from The Office) myspace page once in awhile. Her cousin-in-law has invented a cool product I'd like to get called the Cupcake Courier. The price tag of $32.99 plus s/h is a little steep, but the thing holds 36 cupcakes or muffins and you won't smash the frosting or get the cupcakes all stuck to each other. One of the reasons I rarely make cupcakes anymore is because there is no good way to store them. When I'm rolling in money again, I'll definitely check this one out.

I can't believe nobody has done personalized photo stamps before. These are awesome! I may have to do some of these for Christmas cards or something.
