		<description><![CDATA[I can not for the life of me find jeans to fit. I like the straight leg style, but they only carry sizes that skip a number. For instance, sizes, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on. I happen to take a six junior. The fives are to small and the sevens are too big. I&#8217;ve had this problem all of my life. I now weight about 108 lbs, and I&#8217;m 4&#8217;11&#8243; shrinking in older age also. Finding nice jeans that I don&#8217;t have to roll up, is a mega problem. Cutting them off and hemming, looks funny to me. This is why I like the skinny jeans, with the tightness around the ankle. They sort of bunch up and fit me. Shopping today was a waste of time, so perhaps I&#8217;ll go again tomorrow. Or, maybe I&#8217;ll either gain some weight, or loose some weight so I will fit in either a 5 or 7!]]></description>

I went up to the small store here in our little town and since I know the owner well, asked him if he would order a case of them. He did and only charged me his cost. He allowed me to save a great deal of money. I&#8217;m still going to buy my grand daughter something else, of course. I know though, she will be really thrilled with these.]]></description>

Kicker is, I just got this one last year. It kind of ticks me off that even the sound only works some of the time. My son thinks it&#8217;s a loose wire. If he can&#8217;t fix the problem with this laptop, I&#8217;ll have to get another one, which so soon after Christmas, is going to really drain my savings. If I do have to get a new one though, I&#8217;m going to do some homework before I buy one. I want a good one and yet one that isn&#8217;t as pricey as the one I have. Knowing what I&#8217;m buying will help, and maybe I&#8217;ll learn a thing or two on the way. I work on the computer, so a laptop is a must for me since I go out of town every other week.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wanted new carpet in my office/sewing room for a long time. Everyone says it would be a bad idea because of pins, needles and such. I rarely drop them, and if so have a BIG magnet to pick them up. I went to the carpet outlet store this morning, to look at various carpets, and a lady there suggested that I use indoor/outdoor carpet for this room. She sews also and since her floors get really cold, she wanted carpet in her sewing room. I saw all sort of colors and styles, but am not sure which one I would like. The plus of this carpet is, that I&#8217;ll be saving a great deal of money. It is much less expensive than other types. Even a remnant will fit this room. I&#8217;m going to think about it, and then think also about a new paint job for the walls. I need to cheer it up in here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sears store that is in the mall in the town next to ours, is going out of business. I think most of the stores in the mall have or are going to close soon. It&#8217;s a shame, because there were some really great stores there over the years. I went to Sears and there was a sale on all the lawn tools. I was in heaven. Everything was marked at really low discount prices. These are some good tools too, and before this I didn&#8217;t have the money to spend on them. Gardening isn&#8217;t just a hobby to me, it also brings in a small income. Not much, but every little bit helps. My lawn tools are really important to me. I&#8217;m known to treat them like my &#8220;babies&#8221;, since I&#8217;m pretty protective of them. I have a feeling it&#8217;s going to get worse, now that I have saved a great deal of money buying these tools, and want to make them last a good long while. I obviously couldn&#8217;t get the warranty Sears offered before, so I&#8217;m going to take care of them, and as selfish as it seems, I&#8217;m not going to lend them out to anyone.]]></description>

I&#8217;ve always disliked digital cameras because to me, there is a slight hesitation before a photo is taken, at least in my opinion.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I had to go into my husbands garage to find some tools I needed. It is a total mess. His birthday is coming up and I&#8217;ve decided to buy him garage storage cabinets. I don&#8217;t know how he finds anything in that garage. He says he knows where everything is, but I seriously doubt if he really does. The kids go in to find something they ask to use, he tells them where to find it and it&#8217;s not there. Poor kids spend a great deal of time trying to find anything in there. I think my husband does also. He has commented at times that he would love some steel storage cabinets to put his valuable tools in, even though he has some really nice tool chests. They are jam packed though, and he does indeed need more room to store things. The garage is his domain, but I think it would be so much easier for him to work in there if there were some kind of organization. Garage cabinets are exactly, in my opinion what he needs. I think he is a hoarder when it comes to his garage, but I&#8217;m not going to tell him that, since it IS  his garage. He doesn&#8217;t tell me what to do with my kitchen. I think if I bought these for him though, he would like a gift like that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had never heard of Titanium rings before. When a friend of mine was getting engaged, she came to my house for tea and showed me rings that she wanted, because she thinks her boyfriend was going to ask her to marry him. It&#8217;s about time, is what I feel. They have been a couple for nearly nine years and are so much in love and right for one another. My friend Eva is a person that likes the unique and unusual, so she decided to come to me to tell her what I thought about what she wanted&#8230;just in case. I know she had talked to her boyfriend about Tungsten Rings before, also which I wasn&#8217;t familiar with until she showed me what they looked like, and I have to admit I fell in love with them. I&#8217;m already married of course, but I would love to have a band like the one she picked out. Or at least similar to one like it. It&#8217;s beautiful! Eva told me that the rings have a lifetime warranty, which is a lot more than mine has. There is also a lifetime refinishing warranty on them. When I look at my rings, and some of the scratches on them, I think this is great that the company has this.  The rings she picked out that she wants to show her boyfriend are beautiful. So, now I know what titanium rings are. It sounds and looks like my friend found what she has been looking for!]]></description>

Of course it doesn&#8217;t help that I keep adding little things I&#8217;ve forgotten. I am one of those kind of people who think of things at the last minute too. But, so far so good. Hopefully I won&#8217;t be doing the mad dash shopping on Christmas eve like I did last year, for some items the kids discovered they can&#8217;t live without. If so&#8230;it&#8217;s resort to, &#8220;Give them the money&#8221; perhaps. <img src='http://elainedunham.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
