Alvin! Simon! Theodore!

I was just chatting with (e:mrmike) and for some reason I remembered one of the toys from my childhood. Now I'm so sad that neither I or my parents still have any of these toys. We moved a lot and it just didn't seem important to keep anything. Really I don't think I have any more toys.

When I loved Christmas, I would play the Alvin and the Chimpmunk's Xmas album on my fisher price record player. It would drive my parents insane to hear their 'chipmunk' voices all high and chipmunk like 24/7. I can't imagine why they wouldn't like it. A couple of years ago I found the album on vinyl in perfect condition.

Wascally Wabbit chewed the corners oh so slightly. Now it is in near mint condition...

One Xmas me and my brother and sister all got a Chipmunk doll. My older sister got Simon, I got Alvin and my brother got THeodore. When you pull the string it would say things like "Alvin loves you"

I also had this. It is so awesome.

At a flea market in Florida I found Theodore out of the three in their glassware set. Now I just need to find Alvin and Simon.

I still have an LP of a group called the grasshopers sing Alvin and the chipmunks. It is weird cause they have the part of dave on the albulm also.

The Chipmonks still show up on the Boomerang cartoon channel. That classic 60s animation where only the mouths moved during dialogue. Very Kitchy!

I saved

I saved, I thought that meant something to you.

This has gotta be the double/triple coupon day type of thing - I've never been good at saving money at the grocery store so this is completely alien to me.

My buddy with 3 kids though? He's a flippin' 10th degree black belt at coupon clipping.

good for you! you saved 31%, that requires some serious bargain hunting and coupon clipping. fun times at tops indeed.

tops should start putting the percent you save on the receipts to show how much cheaper they are. one grocery store in massachusetts did that and i always liked to play the game "see how much i can save." i liked the great sales they had. once when they had triple coupons and i got paid to buy rice a roni, because it was already on sale. i love grocery shopping!

i can't figure out why the co-op always gives you way less than the 2% discount they're supposed to give. yesterday i spent 15.82 there and they only took off 12 cents. i only saved .7%

think I saved like .90 cents with my wegman's shoppers club card today.

It means something to ME, bee-atch. How the h-e-double-hockey-sticks did you save over $62 on your grocery bill? And do you do consulting work for those of us who are happy when we manage to save $1.50 in beer-bottle refunds?

More camera phone pics

This is my first picture. It kind of scares me.

I finally put the plastic in the windows. Look its crystal clear. Just in time for the nasty weather. It is snowing and windy now.

My mom's husband found this lamp for me at a flea market. The piggy is a lighter that shoots flames out of his nostrils.

My roommate

I made this the background on my phone. The plant hangs over into my bed so its sort of like I am one with it.

Oops almost forgot this one. Got this calendar for my roommates birthday. Its called Extraordinary Chickens. Yes it would have been a great gift for (e:mike), but he doesn't use calendars. You guys should see these chickens. I had no idea chickens could be so exotic. One of them looks like an Arctic chicken or something because of his downlike plumage.

My new phone

I did it and went to get a new phone today. Screw you CRICKET, I'm free of your crap now.

My new phone is so cool. Best of all when my phone rings the ring doesn't make me want to slit my wrists. $10 after rebate.

Pics I can upload to the computer via text messaging. Here is a tester.

This means that all the times of thinking "oh I wish i had a camera so i could post this on estrip", i'll have one.
How fun!

I went with Verizon. The phone is superclear and amazing reception in my apt. What a relief. I went with a 450 min a month plan which i have decided isn't enough, so i'll have to upgrade to 900.

I have had facial hair for quite some time now.

chico - 01/08/07 19:20
Hey what's with the 'stache? Ironic or juz a little lazy for a weekend?

paul - 01/07/07 21:33
I am so glad to hear you are joining the ranks of the mobile epeeps.

chicoschica - 01/07/07 20:01
Hey libertad - welcome to the verizon cult, i mean, family! ;-) You know, if you talk to other verizon wireless customers, you don't use any minutes...maybe that would figure in to whether you upgrad to 900 min or not...??

I'm glad to hear that when the phone rings you don't want to slit your wrists - as Martha would say, "It's a good thing."
