Shopping in non-traditional ways

I have recently taken up golf. I’m not sure how I will do with this new activity, but I’m going to give it the old college try. When I was shopping for a cooler, because I am out of shape and will be trekking across the barren desert chasing a small white ball, I’m going to need to stay hydrated so I’m going to need to take a lot of water. And no one wants to drink warm water, so I need a cooler and some ice packs, I checked the local department stores and then I remembered an online site where I bought some really cool Hotel Bar Supplies (like a set of really nice tall glasses that have held up under two teenagers and wood floors. To say they are sturdy is an understatement).

Anyway, I was shopping this site for a cooler and found a small travel cooler that was cheaper than in the store once I bought the cooler and ice packs. Now I’m looking at another set of smaller glasses to use for juice in the mornings and on those rare times when I don’t want a full 8 ounce glass of liquid goodness. And I just stumbled upon a really nice caste iron chip/dip serving dish.  Score!

I won't

This is the post

where I was going to whine about killing my personal blog.  But I decided against that because really, it is what it is.

Then I was going to blog about a new recipe I tried, but I didn't try it yet. So that's out.

Then I was going to tell you all about the movie I watched last weekend and how detached from reality it was and how that annoys the crap out of me and how ever since I went to school to be a paralegal back in the early 90s my family refuses to watch shows about the law and legal system and it's because I'm always right.  But, that wasn't really a movie review, it was more of a let me complain about this thing for twenty minutes and then offer no resolution or solution thing.  And who wants to read that. 

So to sum it all up, I got nuthin.

Mats to save your feet and your doggies' too!

On my quest to avoid doing homework one night, I stumbled upon a webpage that sells different floor mats. I had been at a store that day, I cannot recall which one now, but I remember standing there at checkout and one of those squishy floor mats the cashiers stand on was on the customer side and I thought to myself, how comfortable! Thankfully, I don’t have to stand on my feet all day, but it did get me thinking about how one of those squishy mats would be wicked awesome in front of my kitchen sink and my stove, where I spend a chunk of my evenings either cooking or cleaning up the dishes. Anyway, while looking at various mats, I found that mats come in many the different size, shape and color. In fact, while looking for a squishy kitchen matt, I came across many different types of outdoor mats and I wondered why these mats are not marketed to the average consumer, and not just to businesses. I would like to have those squishy mats in my kitchen; and maybe the laundry room. But I am also looking at some industrial size mats to go outside under the dogs’ water bowl so they aren’t standing on that scorching hot sandstone to get a drink. Here in the desert, even the covered back patio gets brutally hot and can burn your feet (or your pets’) in minutes.
