Shish Kabob Express on Hertel
Category: food

The food was reasonably priced and yummy. I got this tasty baked fish on rice. It was citrus flavored. The place is vegan an vegetarian friendly as well. Both (e:terry) and (e:joe) had a falafel sandwich.

Galaxy Note 3
Category: mobile

I got the Galaxy Note 3 last week. While it isn't anything that crazy different from the Note 2, the 1920 x1080 screen is great for reading small text. I also really like the texture of the back. Its like a faux stitched leather that makes it really easy to grip the phone. The camera is also really good. These photos obviously came from another phone.

7/11 Cheese Stick Ripoff - Where's The Cheese?
Category: food

on the way out of town, (e:Joe) and I stopped at 7/11 for water to make soup on our camp out. We ended up trying the cheese sticks which I would have been good if there was cheese inside!

Agreed. Such high hopes for a 7/11 cheese stick. I say we go for emotional damages

I say sue their cheese off!

Trader Joe's
Category: shopping

(e:Joe) and I had to go run some errands on the blvd last night to return bead board to lowes and get some bikes repaired at Bert's.

I noticed Trader Joe's was open when (e:terry) and I went to Lowes to buy the bead board in the morning.

Joe has been talking it up non-stop so we decided to check it out. It was slam packed but they managed to expedite checkout to just a few minutes despite the shoulder to shoulder customer crowd.

I got so many great things for so cheap. Who would have thought I would be able to get such great products at such a cheap price. The bag of lagosttinos for $11 was an especially amazing deal even thought it wasn't cheap it would have easily been $25 elsewhere.

Wow - that store is amazing. My latest love: Thai Veggie Gyoza :) :::link:::

It is pretty amazing how much organic produce they have for great prices.... I can afford to buy mostly organic and high quality food there for so cheap. I love it!

The new bathroom is coming along
Category: bathroom

At this point we are already about $5000 over a budget which I already thought was insane but it looks like its going to be beautiful. I can't imagine what it will really be like as a final product despite having brought all of the pieces in close proximity. We are still waiting on some tile.

We gave up on beadboard and decided to just do matching marble trim which is part of the cost hike.

It does look like you could eventually rent it out and charge 5-star hotel rates.

Imagine the demand.

It is the bathXperience!
