Harry Potter

I'm sure I will get a ton of crap from my good friends who are complete Potter-heads after a I drop this bomb ...

The last book in the series was anti-climatic and ended with a sequel or another series as a possibility.

Other than that, I loved it.

Healthy Deep Fried Treats

For years I have been avoiding the Indiana State Fair. I could not bring myself to go to the event until they served more healthy food.

Now that oil with trans-fats has been banned from fryers of all the food vendors, I am ready to celebrate.

I can gorge, guilt free, on the now healthy deep fried Oreos, Twinkies, corn dogs, fried dough and french fries.

I am packing up the car and heading out to the Indiana State Fair.

Toxic Waste

Sheleata Kanoftuna, the king of the house, had a crazy growth protruding from his upper gum. Off to the vet we went. After a thorough exam and another consultation, Sheleata stayed at the vet for an emergency tooth extraction and growth removal.



Sheleata is doing great and his mouth is back to normal size. Over the last few days, Tim and I are becoming pros at giving Sheleata his post-surgery antibiotics. I have been monitoring the kitty to make sure he doesn't have any type of allergic reaction to the medication.



So far, no allergic reactions. Unfortunately, I had to contact the EPA to declare the litter box a toxic waste dump. I thought it was bad before. Who knew taking Clavamox would force me to wear protective gear while scooping.

Direct Mail Marketing Gone Bad

I'm a CVS/pharmacy ExtraCare frequent shopper program success story. If I need it, they sell it and the price is decent, I go out of my way to buy it at CVS/pharmacy for the ExtraCare bucks. In addition, I keep my profile updated and provide answers to occasional demographic questions.

Every so often, I receive product samples from CVS/pharmacy. Most of the time, the samples are on the money. Today, however, it is direct mail marketing gone bad.

I opened the box to find an informative booklet about Kotex Ultra Thin Pads with Wings, a coupon and free sample. I would have thought it was a joke sent by a friend had the box not been in pristine condition. I chuckled and wondered why I was targeted to receive this particular free sample.

I wait with baited breath for the next box.
