A few things

A few happenings this last week...

- Wolfgang and I went to "Black Forest Haus" for some German food (with my $25 gift card that I only paid $3 for, thank you very much). Wolfgang loved it and the food was good. I knew it was a true German spot when I saw this on our table:


-Wolfgang got new glasses! He's a happy boy. I can't even count how many times during the time we were looking at glasses, and him saying, "WOW! I have AMAZING insurance!" "This is so cheap!" {picture to come}

-I had 2 interviews this last week, and have 2 more for next week lined up

-Last night we watched Disneynature Oceans (courtesy of our free month with blockbuster.com)... and LOVED it! I love the ocean and especially the creatures inside of it. The movie was very well done and the photography is beyond words. Go watch it!

-Finally starting to recycle here, even though I'm not quite sure where I can take it to yet...Google and I will figure it out shortly.

-The weather is now officially getting to 90 degrees. oh boy.

Have a great weekend :)

Another steal

Ok people, I have to tell you about this deal.

My new little {bored-and-unemployed} hobby is to read google blogs. Pretty much just whatever comes up. Today, I came across one that mentioned about a great deal restaurant.com is currently having.

Restaurant.com is a place where you can get gift cards for restaurants, pubs, etc for a discounted price, kind of like what you would find on groupon, but instead of it just being for one day, it's always.

WELL...right now, if you find a place you'd like to eat (I have yelp.com help me out) and you get a gift card, put it in your online "cart" and in the promo code box, type: SAVE and guess what? I tried it and for a $25 worth at a restaurant, you can get it for $3!!!!! Yep, you better believe it.

Check it out soon, because I think the offer expires in the next few days, or a week...I want to say it said March 14th, but don't quote me on that one.

Enjoy

The little things.

Today, I am reminded of how grateful I am to finally have a washer/dryer located IN our apartment, and also a dishwasher. It's been a long while, and using them today {pathetically} made me smile.

Thank you, technology.

Steal of a Deal!

For a past birthday or Christmas, I got a Blockbuster gift card, the only problem was, there wasn't one anywhere nearby us while living in Hawaii, so we decided to keep it until we moved back to the big rock.

The other night I remembered I had it, so Wolfgang and I decided to venture out and look for a Blockbuster, with the help of our trusty GPS. Needless to say, it lead us 3 vacant buildings....we were unaware that Blockbuster actually filed for bankruptcy.

The next day we decided to try yet another location, but this time we called ahead of time to see if they actually existed, and sure enough they did....but of course, it was closing down and selling everything.

DVDs were already cheap, but we really got a steal of a deal: with our powers combined with a promotion if we signed up for their online rival to netflix plus our giftcard, we bought 5 DVDs for only $8.17!!! (including m&ms pretzels, thank you very much) We are pretty proud of ourselves.

Of the collection, is one of my all time favorite "old school" Disney movies that I've always wanted to own:
I'm a happy girl.

(Thanks Danielle? for the gift card.)

episode 3: awake.

...or is this episode 4? I'm not sure.

You all that have been reading my blog know, that Wolfgang likes to make funny conversations with me, when he's half asleep.

Well this time, he was well awake (or kind of) eyes open and all, after I tried waking him up from a nap. He wrestled around a little bit, waking up...looks at me, yada yada, then he says,

"Your room is ready"
Me: laughs, "oh honey, you're so funny"
W: "what?" (then I tell him what he just said to me) he looks right at me and says,
"your last name is Burton, right?" (says something little before that but I forgot what he says)
Me: snap my fingers at his face, (a little freaked out at this point) "Honey, it's me, wake up, you're starting to freak me out."
W: moans a little and says, "I dunno, I must be having a dream or something." Then turns and tries to go back to sleep.
Me: I let him, because I'm a little too weirded out!

That's what I get for him working for Marriott...good thing he has tomorrow off.

crush.

Wolfgang and I are watching American Idol this season,

and needless to say, Wolfgang has a man crush on this guy:



Paul McDonald.

Ok, I do have to admit, he is very nice to look at, and has a great smile. He's got spunk and a very unique voice, very nice and easy to listen to.

To get a feel for what he's like, watch/listen to a video of him here.

Thoughts of the day

I feel like blogging, but don't have a lot to blog about, so here goes nothing (to those that are severely bored and have nothing else to do)

thoughts:

Why hasn't someone come up with a cure to the common cold yet? I mean, come on.

Old men with young women: immediate thoughts:
1) eww. 2) I want to slap both of them.
slap old man: for taking such a young woman, you dirty old man.
slap the young girl: what are you thinking?! You deserve much better and someone to grow old with, not someone who is already there.

Hm...that is all.
