You say shopaholic like it's a bad thing....

I'm a bargain hunter.
I'm not sure if I ever mentioned that to you before, but it's true.

I go for 'big game', which by my own personal definition, means that I don't waste my time on half-off sales...
No siree!
I scoff at 40% off ads that come in the mail...

'Big Game' in my book means AT LEAST 75% off...

It's actually somewhat of a 'gift', this ability to scope out deals...
I'm like Patricia Arquette's character in Medium....
Except that my 6th sense is more along the lines of 'knowing' when I need to get to a store...

Tony has a hard time accepting my 'special talent'....
He sees it as more of a curse...

"Why Jackie???!!! Please tell me why we NEEDED a labeler??? WHY???!!!"

"You just-don't-get-it!!!! Poor, sad, Tony!!! They cost $35.00 everywhere and I only paid $6.00 for it..... Six dollars I tell you!!!!!! I saved us $29.00!!!"

"You still haven't told me WHY we need a labeler...."

"I'm not going to dignify that with an answer..... but the next time YOU need something labeled.... DO NOT come crying to me!!!"



"You know Jackie.... everytime you 'save' us money.... you cost us money....."

Good thing that we are best friends.... because let me tell you, if we weren't, I would be infuriated with that kind of rain being dumped on my parade!!

PS - I haven't told him about the case of Yankee Candles that I saved us $75.00 by buying yet...
So mum's the word!!!!!

Eyeball Tattoos...

I agree with the folks who are trying to ban eyeball tattoos...

Besides being just plain stomach twisting to think about, I think that there is an angle that they probably hadn't even thought of yet...

What's to stop party animals from getting the whites of their eyes tattooed white?

No one would ever know if they had indulged in certain illegal activities...

Just a thought....

from the deep end....

(don't worry, there's plenty more floating around!!)
