Recently, Staples put one of their office supply stores on Colorado Blvd. here in Denver. I'm not sure when exactly, but I happened to see it driving home one day. I was looking for a couple of things related to the craft room clean-up and decided to stop in and see what they had.

Well, they didn't have what I was looking for, but on my way out I saw a bin with Easy Buttons. If you've ever seen one of their commercials on television, you know what that is. Anyway, I didn't stop to look at them, but when I checked their web site just now, it turns out they donate $1 of every purchase on those to the Boys & Girls Club of America. That's so cool! I may end up going back later to get one.

Wow, I had a busy week last week. I'm still recovering, thus my absence from posting. I think last week's events will be the subject of this week's Thursday Thirteen.

Anyhow, at the opening of the newest Denver area Apple Store last weekend at Park Meadows mall, Marcus and I saw a guy wearing an iTrek shirt. I wish I had the guts to ask strangers to pose for pictures. I just remembered to look that up. I'm so getting one of these. The dude was wearing the one I have pictured to the right there. --->

I'm torn as to weather to get a red shirt in that style, or a blue one with the Vulcan on it. Decisions, decisions. I guess I'll just have to eventually get both. LOL

A teaser for this week's episode of The Office [via Freakgirl]:

I've been through a pretty rough period since I've been underemployed for so long. Now that I'm finally starting to see a light at the end of that dark tunnel, I'm starting to think about things I would like to have. Here's some things I've been dreaming of buying as soon as I have some extra cash:

Thirteen Things I Want

1. A Motorcycle — I've always wanted to get a Harley and join a motorcycle club. I'd even like to make the trek to Sturgis one day.
2. A Professional Stand Mixer — It's so much easier to make stuff with a stand mixer rather than a hand held one. I'd love a professional grade one.
3. An Embroidery Machine — I've written how I'd like to own an embroidery business. I love embroidered garments!
4. An Ice Shaver — I love snowcones, but I hate paying the prices for them during the summer.
5. Wacom Intuos3 Tablet — I have a small graphics tablet, but I'd love to have the big one. It's so much easier to work on computer graphics with a pen instead of a mouse.
6. A Tankless Water Heater — If I want to stand in the shower for an hour, I'd like the water to still be hot. I can only get about a 12 minute shower before the water turns cold.
7. A Boat — I want a nice sized boat that I can hang out on.
8. A Professional Digital Camera — and the classes to learn how to use it.
9. A Video Camera — I'd love to make some movies.
10. A Pool Table — Playing pool is so much fun, but I hate playing in halls or when other people are waiting to use the table.
11. A Clarinet — I really miss playing and I would love to start practicing again. There's got to be some kind of adult group I can join around here.
12. A guitar — I took an introductory class in college, but I would really love to learn to play.
13. Land — this is what I want more than anything. Once we can get out house on some land, I can work on some of the other things I'd like to get: another dog, a garden, a horse. etc.
