Ten (Minus Two) Tidbits for Tuesday

1. I cried the night before Allie and Dave drove away. We went to a new place, Noble Rot. Tim Gunn went there when he visited a contestant on project runway. So since then we have been meaning to go. So we went on the last night they were here. And then I cried. I'm such a disaster.

2. In October I worked barely any hours. And I made up for it last week by working 90 hours in 8 days straight. LOTS of time and half and double time. I will enjoy my paycheck on Thursday!

3. I got a new bed frame from Dave and Allie when they moved. I had just been using I guess it's called a Hollywood frame. But they didn't want to move the frame they had in their house so I snatched it right up. It has posts that would be prefect for hanging hoodies, jackets and other crap that builds up. So it has been my goal to leave those clean. It's been about 2 weeks and they have not been touched. Pretty proud of myself.

4. I sold my iPhone on eBay and now I am itching to sell more. Fall semester of my freshman year, I spent all my savings on eBay purchases. I loved the thrill of auctions ending. The bidding war was so much fun. So I bought a bunch of random things. I sold my phone today for almost $100 more than I expected, so I am happy about that!

5. I sold my phone because I am switching back to T mobile. I went with Sprint two years ago because I wanted to be able to use an iPhone that wasn't jail broken. But T mobile has iPhones now, so I have just been waiting for my contract to end to switch back. I got a great deal on cyber Monday yesterday. I was planning on getting the 32bg 5c for $199. But I was able to get the 5s 32gb for only $75 yesterday! What a steal! I'm pretty proud of myself.

6. Chocolate covered Oreos are back at Sugar Factory! I first had one when I went to Vegas about 2 years ago. I died, they were so good. I haven't been able to find one that compares. So I asked my brother a couple months later to bring some up when he flew from Vegas. When he went to the store, they said they were out and wouldn't be getting them back in.  So two weeks ago, I was in Vegas, walking through MGM and lo and behold I spotted a bin of chocolate covered Oreos at Sugar Factory. I asked the cashier if my brother was lying to me earlier when he told me they were out. She said no way, they were definitely out for a long time. She remembers that time because so many people were asking for them. I am soooo glad they are back!

 

7. I went to Vegas two weeks ago and didn't tell anyone (especially my brothers that live there). I had two nights for free at a casino hotel plus a free meal at one of their restaurants. I won it at my company Christmas party last year. A couple weeks ago I decided I should probably use it before it expires. I was mostly concerned about wasting a free meal. I didn't care much for the hotel stay. So I took a friend and we went down for the night. We just wanted to do our thing, so we didn't really tell anyone. We had a certificate for dinner at their sushi/Asian restaurant up to $150. And our bill came out to 149.18. That's how you do it!

 

 8. My Blazers are making me so happy right now! Last year was bad and I was expecting things to be a little better this season, but not much more than that. But they basically solidified themselves as the best team in the league by winning last nights game. They beat the best team in the East, the Pacers. And the Blazers are the best team in the West right now. The season is still young, so I don't want to get my hopes up. But I sure am enjoying this while it lasts! I have been to 4 games so far and I plan to go to plenty more!
