The other day at Target I decided to try something new to get raid of the cat hair on the bedding and other places he likes to lay. I’ve tried other products that have not been successful and are not easy to use. So I figured it would be worth a try, like some people feel anti wrinkle treatments are worth a try when they are aging.
It yellow, and has little spikythings its some kind of cloth It works nicely.
It did work nicely to clean the fur of the bedding and other stuff. It also kind of gave one of my chairs the look of being vacuumed. It looked a lot better so I can’t complain. I think it was also worth the money to get this, I was able to peel of the hair and use it again a couple of times. Now I know soon I will have to toss it but the box came with 5 refills.

On Saturday night we got my new Ipod touch, hubby wanted to buy me a Ipod but had to save for it for a little while. He got the nano, which is nice, but I really wanted the touch. So hubby and I agreed I would pay for the difference which is fair. He got himself the nano, so it nice of him to offer to get the same thing for me and if i want something different then it could be me who pays for it.
So We got my Ipod touch at Wal-mart, and their replacement plan, which is good. So we got the Ipod home and I put it on the computer to charge wow it takes a long time for this little battery to charge up from nothing, but it does play a long time after being charged. I had it on all day Tuesday and played with it a lot Sunday. I decided to download 1 game, and 1 map thing, and the rest songs.
The frustrating thing about it when you want to sync it to the computer it doesn’t have a click here to sync. It took me a while to figure it out and I got frustrated with it. I deleted my play list once, and had my list doubled once. So I got a little annoyed then I couldn’t figure out how to add songs to my list. Yeah that was a lot of frustration. Homesharing had us ticked off.
Well I love my ipod touch it’s great, plays loud enough when it not with earphones, and battery lasts a long time. We ended up going to Apple store in Edina, and talked to them. They do appointment only but squeezed us in. Which was nice of them. They got our answers to the question and homesharing actually wasn’t a nightmare like we thought it might be. Hubby had to sign my account into his computer, and keep it with homesharing, and I had to sign his account into the computer, and okay it then sign out and then put his account in homesharing. So know we are sharing music, which is nice because he had several songs or albums i wanted.

My Toshiba laptop has been running so hot lately that its burned me a few times, and now I got a ugly red patch on the top of one of my legs. It not blistered thank goodness because I would bring it in, to Toshiba with my poor legs, and show them, this is running way to hot for safety. My computer has always ran a little on the hot side during the summer doing homework was unpleasant because it makes you feel hot having something hot in your lap.
So I decided to go to newegg.com, goodness I love that site, next on my list is Window7, Visita crashed my poor laptop to many times with the updates it keeps trying to give me, so I am annoyed.
Now with the new cool I think my lap top needs some quick weight loss because it has made it heavy, but I rather that then the other. I love this little cooler, it the same size as mine, it for computer 12 to 17 inches, and it turns around too, so I don’t have to pick it up if I put the laptop on the table and want to show dad or hubby something I can just set it up and turn the computer, no picking up required.
It also adjusts the fan in 5 setting counting when it on the flat setting. The fan is protected so it can’t get a bunch of cat hair from the pants or what have you. I can lay it on the floor and not worry if it hasn’t been vacuumed because between the fan and floor there a barrier.
I am very happy with this product. It takes a lot to keep me happy, I’ve had it for a week. So I will see how long it actually lasts. By the way no matter what I do about the cat hair, I think shaving the cat bowled is the only way to solve the cat hair problem, he sheds on command.

Recently I got Walgreens Saline Nasal spray, because I had some allergy problems and wanted to try to deal with it before using something stronger. I remember the days I used to do inventory and needing to use barcode scanner those where always harder on small items like nasal sprays. Well back to the spray, it worked pretty good for my allergies and helping clear some of the stuff out, but now with my cold it is not helping as much. Maybe this is good for allergies because it helps flush it out of your nose, and helps with the dryness that some of the allergy meds give, but it not doing it job as far as with my cold.

I wish when I was in high school I could have done a LSAT prep courses for my SATs some how I managed not to do prep courses at my high school. I wonder if I would have preformed better. This company has prep courses for several different things, like GMAT, LSAT, SAT, they also have Knewton, and customer service option for perspective customers. Sadly I can’t use this now because I am already done with college, but to bad I didn’t find it sooner.

The other day when I was in Wal-mart I decided to try the body essence hand sanitizer. It smells like Raspberries, and does not have alcohol. Since I work with kids and I am always washing my hands, they get dry and scratchy, not how if it anything like an accutane side effects. My hands at least smell nice and well my skin is sucking up the moisture in this stuff. I hope that this stuff will help my skin not get so dry. They also itch a lot from all the washing I do.
I don’t know how it’s reacting yet but I love the smell of it. This is the best smelling hand sanitizer I have ever used. It does have some kind of beads in it. It does feel like it has some nice quality so I guess in a few days I will post again about what I think. If my hands get worst then I know it not that great.

When I hurt my knee and hip I found out I couldn’t use Tynol, because of the reaction it gave me. I know they claim sometimes for people with rheumatoid arthritis, it’s good but I can’t do it. I like Advil because I know it works for my pains, I take it for everything. When my mouth hurts because of bad wisdom teeth, or for cramps or because of the weather making my body hurt.
So I know which one to take now, I have friend who use Tynol, and they claim its the only thing that works.

This weekend was my grandma birthday and I decided it would be nice to send her some flowers from 1800flowers.com. I spend 69. on the flowers, it was nice and had a bear that went with it. Well, they sent me conformation telling me it was on the delivery truck but not that it was delivered. They are lucky Grandma has honest neighbors or she might not have gotten her flowers and I would have been very mad, and not just disappointed.
What I liked about flowers.com is I was able to order granny her birthday present and get it there the next day with out being charge additional fees. I was happy about that. I was happy I got conformation in my email telling me it was on the truck. Okay this is good. Well Grandma called me later that night. She said it was beautiful, so I am happy with the quality they gave.
What I do not appreciate even though I put on the mailing slip it was going to an Apartment building, Grandma is 83 years old. I didn’t have her security code but I do know that it’s on the wall from the last time I visited grandma. I am just relieved it was delivered the rest of the way by one of her younger neighbors, I believe it’s a retirement community.
So what I would have liked seeing is them calling grandma or calling her home phone number to let her know there was something at the front door for her.
At least I didn’t have to match her flowers with her kitchen floortiles, like some people I know that everything has to match perfectly up to the ceiling.

I got the American eagle which is in a oval my goodness talk about challenging. This puzzle was one of the harder ones I have done, but normally I don’t pick many puzzles which are oval. I had trouble with the outside pieces and sometimes there were pieces which looked like they belonged but then soon you found out they really did not fit there. I will say I liked the puzzle and good thing I don’t need a Plano dentist form all the thinking I did on this puzzle. I will say it is beautiful, and I will probably look for more puzzles from this person, since while I don’t have classes for a while, I need to keep my brain active.
I got it made in less then a week, even though it was challenging. I almost lost once piece of the puzzles some how it ended up across the room. Dad ask me if I was going to glue it together and I told him no I want to be able to do it a few more times then I will glue it up. It did come with a nice picture in the box, so maybe if dad wants the bird hanging I will just use that picture for him. The picture is just as pretty as the puzzle, so it should be a good compromise.

This weekend Hubby and I went to Boards Books, because I needed a book for reading. I haven’t gotten my normal emails from them, which I normally get an email every week with deals. Not this week, oh well. Something happened that normally doesn’t happen the cashier told us that we had a 30% off special and that it was applied to the book. Oh good I didn’t know that but I will take it happily. I love going to boarders and finding good books for reading. Sometimes I have been advised on what book is good and boy normally they have been right on target which is important to me. If I am going to read aphentermine reviews I want it to have what I want.
We walked out with 3 paper back books and I told hubby they aught to last for 2 weeks, or so. There is one book I want to get but it’s so short that I feel I need to get other books with it.
