A Random Random Tuesday

I haven't been doing Random Tuesday Thoughts in a while, mainly because it wound up being the only thing I would post, and I thought that was pretty lame of me.  So instead, I just don't post.

Last night I dreamt that I was in Target, trying to decide if I wanted to steal a Superman action figure for a craft project.  But none of the action figures were the original Superman in tights with a red cape - they were all "futuristic" with chrome jock straps and night vision goggles, so I decided not to swipe one after all.  As I was leaving the store a little cream toy poodle walked in the door by himself, so I cornered him and was trying to find a tag with his owner's info on it, except he had so many tags on his collar I couldn't figure out which one was current.  I somehow looked up his ID number online and got a list of even more owners, and it just made me sad to think that this poor dog (who I distinctly remember had cataracts and a gray muzzle, so obviously a senior dog) had been through over a dozen homes in his life, and had been named some really stupid names like Coors Light.  I mean, what kind of jackass names a poodle Coors Light?

There's a 14-day backorder on our new iPhones from AT&T (yet apparently the Apple Store has them in stock - grrr) so I've been putting together my wish-list of apps in iTunes.  Seriously, Cowboys Vs Zombies?  I'm on that like white on rice, baby.  If anybody can recommend some good ones, I'd love to hear about them.  I have the basics - my bank, The Weather Channel, Mapquest, Movies, Tweetdeck - and I want a good grocery shopping app, one that scans barcodes and maintains lists.  I'm going to test Grocery Gadget Lite, and maybe Shopper too.

(Just checked the status of our orders, SHIPPING TODAY!!  WHOOT!!)

I've been loading up my Etsy shop with jewelry, some lovely things I might add.  I even had little business cards made with my shop logo (thank you Vistaprint for freebies!).  I'm going to have to slow down for a bit though, until we get settled into wherever we're going.

Can anybody recommend a good moving company for a cross-country move?  I'm getting quotes from United Van Lines, Mayflower, and Budget Van Lines - and of course there's U-haul as a last resort.  Is there any place else I should be looking into?

I can't get enough of this commercial:


Frickin' hamsters, ya'll.

    You have some very nice items at your etsy shop thanks for inviting me to look around

  2. Last night I had bears breaking into parked cars at the edges of a parking lot while I was having supper with my best friend from junior high school. I love odd dreams.

    I bought a Soul last December. Everyone asks me if it came with the hamsters. *giggle* I say they only come with the red and, now, the alien green ones. I'm glad my Soul is black. Plus it's fun to say, and that's why his name is Don Cornelius.

    Congratulations on the phone shipping! I recently added Battery Magic to my phone. It lets me know exactly how charged my battery is, and also has an alarm to let me know when the battery is full. The app also lets me know how much talk-time, or game time, or photo-taking time, etc. I have on the current charge. And it tells me about how long I'll have to wait for it to charge. Best .99 I've spent in the app store.
