Random thought exchange
Well, after a lot of math (an insane excel spreadsheet) lots of research, and 1 of Rosalee’s friends buying a house, we bought one too. It’s a brand new development – which means we can have everything the way we want (well nearly – we can’t change major things to the house).
Anyways, I won’t get into all the details, but here are some pictures from yesterday of our lot – #128!
We should be moving in 366 days… if everything goes according to schedule – which apparently never happens. I guess we’ll see.
The development area:
Apparently we have a swimming pool???
Us with our communal pool – man was it windy!

Well… we made it back! We hit Best Buy, Sport Mart, The Source, HMV, Foot Locker, and Zellers. And we were home by 9:15!
This year went pretty well, nearly bought a ton of stuff that I didn’t want/need/have a place for – some of the prices on things were VERY good. Oh well… maybe next year! 
Here’s a picture of the line-up at Best Buy from 3:40 a.m. today – that’s when Elliott and I arrived… We were #51 & 52 in the line, which meant that we were part of the first group into the store – which meant that we were able to get everything that we wanted to get. All in all – very successful.
The way they had it setup, made no sense. I had to wait in a line-up inside for approx. 30-minutes to purchase an item that I had the reservation paper for (got that while waiting in line), then I went to line-up in another line by the car audio. After 20-min. in that line, I asked a sales rep. if I was in the right spot, they said that I have to drive the car around to the back to get the TV, not wait in the line. There was some serious miscommunication going on.
We finally checked out – about 2 hours after entering the store – what a disaster that was. Elliott saw a guy checking people out on the side – from one of the computers, so I went to join him. It was taking next to forever. We left that line after approx. 25-min. of not moving anywhere, to join the main line. About 1/2 way through that line, we were by the Customer Service desk, and the lady there said that we can get checked out by them. So we veer out of the main line, and we were next in line (vs. 30th or so), to find out that the guy ahead of us wanted to pay with like 3 credit cards for his stinkin’ PSP, and the other guy was complaining to the CSR about pictures he ordered, and how they’re not ready, and he wants them – but the system told him Dec. 30. The other lady – the one who told us to go into the CS line – was busy with some other shmoe. We finally go through, out, loaded up the car with tons of bargoons, drove around to the back, go the TV, and headed off to continue to the rest of our planned stops.
Time for a nap!

Boxing day madness!
Boxing day starts today?
Macbook Pro as a primary (part 3)

Yup… I believe this is the 4th year of the annual “wakeup at 3 a.m. and go boxing day shopping” extravaganza!
What’s on the list this year?
- 26 or 27″ plasma/LCD tv
- arm wall mount for the plasma/LCD
- 2 laptops (sub $700 range – there are quite a few)
- 15 or 17″ LCD widescreen tv
- wireless keyboard and mouse combo
- star trek series dvd’s
- running shoes
- chandelier
Most of the items are for family or friends… so I guess I’ll see if I can live up to the reputation I’ve earned from the past few years. Hopefully, nobody will be let down.
Best of luck to those of you strong enough to fight your way through the concrete jungle of stores to get your discounted items. I know I’ll be sporting my hockey gear…

So we’ve been talking about playing road hockey during lunch for a few weeks now. Today was the day we were going to do it.
4 of us headed out with a recycling bin and a milk crate (our 2 nets), a tennis ball, and 4 sticks. 2 more joined in about 2-3 minutes later – they had to make it down from their offices.
I figured it would be about 10-minutes until security was able to make it down to tell us to leave. Needless to say, I wasn’t all that far off with my time estimate. Just under 10-minutes, and he was out there. Something about liability and cars. We were playing in the shipping and receiving area.
Anyways, we’re going to try it again on Monday… I’ll keep you posted with what’s going on then…
