Kids eat free at IKEA this week…
If you’re going to indulge your filthy love of IKEA this week anyway, don’t feed the kids beforehand. October 19-25, participating IKEA stores are offering free-bee kid’s meals–NO adult purchase necessary! Kids can choose 3 items from these choices: five meatballs, mac & cheese, PBJ sandwich, kids yogurt, two cookies, and chocolate milk.
Thanks, the Bargain Jargon!
Finding your “truth” for free!
Did you know that the “Little Black Dress” could be the WORST thing in the world to put on? Do you ever get all dressed up and simply feel frustrated when you look in the mirror? I’m nearly finished with Carol Tuttle’s new book …”It’s Just My Nature!” where she talks about “finding your truth.” That is, truly understanding yourself and who you are. It doesn’t matter what you weigh, your size, your age, you WILL feel wonderful when you go through this process! (Editor’s note: interestingly, finding out what “type” my Zachie and MacLean are is fascinating: it’s totally changed how I interact and deal with both of them!)Carol totally rocks! She’s going to be offering some “Girl’s Night Outs” coming up, but for now, here’s your chance to get her book for FREE! Just visit www.dressingyourtruth.com. You’ll get the book for free, just pay shipping/handling. Let me know what you think! Sneaky inside tip: I’ve interviewed Carol on our radio show, so when you get to the website, you’ll see an icon in the upper right hand corner about “radio.” Click there to get the book for free!
I Just Saw Eggnog In The Store…
…and a little piece of me died.
We are now in the Halloween season. Pumpkins, ghosts, and candy corn…then, comes Thanksgiving with the turkey, stuffing and large buckles on shoes. (Editor’s note: I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, OF COURSE we made a huge deal out of Thanksgiving. I’m surprised my parents didn’t try to build a summer cabin on top of Plymouth Rock.) Where was I? Oh, yes. Then Christmas, with the trees, presents and EGGNOG.
I have chosen to call this Premature Celebration. Some of you might be familiar with this condition. Go to any store and you’ll see Halloween and Christmas decor situated right next to each other–so close that that one might forget about Thanksgiving altogether.
To solve this, we should just give in and do what the merchants have done–combine all the holidays and give them a new name.
Like… Hallowthanksmas
Thanksmasween
or maybe: Masweenanks
And what about Arbor Day? People, I find it challenging enough to remember to change the oil in my car every 3,000 miles.
I am not calling for a boycott on eggnog because I, too, enjoy that thick creamy concoction of ingredients that makes our eyes roll back in our heads. But, let’s keep this out of season purchase where it belongs–hidden in the fridge in the garage.
Sincerely, Todd
Since we’re getting all Hallo-weeny around here…
