I skipped the gym and stocked up on some groceries and supplies today. A lot of people were doing that. I decided to get a pack of 100 local stamps from Costco for $50.50 plus 5% GST tax. A lady at the gym suggested that to me, and I thought it made sense. These permanent stamps don't have a price on them, so they never even expire. I just calculated I save a whole $1...hmm. Well, I won't have to think about running out of stamps several times per year!
K said he had a bad dream last night, I forget what it was, but so did I. I dreamt I was in this room taking his math test with him and it was so hard I couldn't figure out what to do. I looked over at him, and said 'don't worry, this one is impossible, not your fault' (back to school stress for some of us parents too).
Someone gave us some 'Swiss Delice' chocolate cookies over the holidays and they are so 'melt in your mouth' delicious, it's hard to stop at just a few.

That is a lot of stamps but you are right there is nothing worse than running out when you need them and $1 is a $1.
Maths exams - oh sound painful. Poor kids it seems harder than it ever was. Maybe you had the same dream.
As for melt in the mouth cookies - a thing of the past for me for a while. Well until I break it obviously. I would jus tlike to go off lots of stuff for a couple of months at least. So far so good but of course I am only into Day 6, lol.
Thanks for linking to my Wii article. Nice blog btw.

Hey Christine,
Okay, I shop a lot for groceries but I never heard of stamps. Are they like coupons at the store? Don't forget I shop at Wal-Mart so i don't get to see much of what the other stores do have to offer.
I hope K is okay with the getting back into school routine. I totally understand the anxiety surrounding math. It was my worst subject in school.
The articles were great! I am getting some ginkgo tomorrow! ;-P
Hey Christine
We have a wii and we love it! My son is a total scream when he comes over and The girl, him and I use it.
Okay those cookies look amazing! Where do we buy them?
Have a great evening
We Wii and PS2 in our house--so much fun and something to do with our girl and her friends love to come over to play. Roxi just got the AC/DC and Aerosmith plug in for Rock Band. I figure it can't hurt the old hand-eye coordination to play those games. Haven't gotten Wii Fit yet, though.
The stamps here confuse me so much. I need to take my entire collection into the post office and ask them if I can still use them. They don't have an amount printed on them, just first or second class (bought by mistake). Then there are the "large" and "small" stamps. Ahhh!
I love how kind you are in your math dream. I am sure these are just good omens for the coming semester :-)
Lilly, you are being so good with your resolution!! Inspiring!!
Lilly, turns out K's dream was that his ipod got stolen!
Brian, you're welcome, it was an interesting article.
Bibi, these postage stamps are sold here at the Costco wholesaler. They sell everything in big batches, like SAM's club.
Mom, I think these 'Swiss Delice' cookies came from Costco, because it was a large package with 5 smaller rectangular beige boxes inside, each with a different kind of wafer cookie.
Japra, I think I might have 3 years worth of stamps here...haha
