UngsungBlog: A (Fantasy) Sports Blog

Quick-hitters:

- It’s about time somebody in a real cold-weather place chewed me out for whining about being cold.

At the moment, I am enjoying a nice, hot cup of tea.  Yes, it’s quite chilly here.

(waves at Amy)

- I wish I had the ability to leap halfway across a tennis court, dive, lay on my back, and still hit a perfect shot that curves around the net post, hits the line, and then curves away from my opponent(s).

At the very least, I’d like to know which button on the Wii-mote allows me to hit that shot in Wii Tennis.

- Apparently the college football bowl season is underway!  I believe the Jack in a Box 2 for $1 Taco Bowl was on today.

- Current rebate-o-meter:  $2300, with about $500 in checks coming in the next few days.  Cha-ching!

- So my sister and I did some Christmas shopping today.  Technically, she went self-Christmas shopping, and I went because she had a hankering for some Six Dollar Burgers from Carl’s Jr.

(Tangent:  Has anyone tried the Portobello Mushroom Six Dollar Burger?  Incredible!  A horribly greasy, Swiss-cheesy mess on a bun, with tons of lettuce and onions, and sliced tomatoes…drooooool.)

So after dinner and some mall shopping—parking was a bitch, but the mall itself wasn’t horribly crowded, for some reason—we went to CVS, to spend some ECBs that were expiring soon.  Between the two of us, we got a ton of free after ECB stuff—cough drops, energy shots that I’ll never use, and some other stuff that I don’t recall at the moment—two boxes of tampons, some candy, and a box of replacement blade cartridges for a razor.  We then hit up the local 99-cent store for some Christmas gift wrap.  Somehow, we ended up spending NINE BUCKS!!!!!

(I could not believe that some woman filled up an entire cart full of stuff at the 99-cent store!  It’s the 99-cent store, for crying out loud!  She must have had a $99.99 gift certificate :P)

Next time:  details of my hot date on Wednesday!
