Time For Hibernation

Now I realize why all of the smart animals hibernate; winter is cold! The temperatures have been well below zero (with wind chill) for almost a week. School was canceled yesterday and today because of the cold, which is crazy. I can't remember school being canceled one time because it was too cold. But anyway, yeah, it's cold.

What do I do when it's balls cold? Go shopping, of course! I found some awesome deals over the weekend. On Friday, I scored this incredibly cute rolling suitcase for $22! Now I have the peeeenk one, and this as well ($9.) For some reason the duffel comes up as having wheels, but it doesn't. Oh, and who can forget the awesome laptop bag ($8.75?) Now, if I only had somewhere to take my awesome Isaac luggage.
While at Target, I scored this HP photo printer for $35! Yes, $35!!!! I guess it's being discontinued, but I don't care. The cartridge, HP110, is used for other items and is pretty cheap ($20.) The photos from this printer are great, and the printer is 100% portable. It even has a cute little handle! (Shut up)
Finally, at the end of my Friday shopping excursion, I bit the bullet and purchased this laser printer at Office Max. The best part is I picked it up for under $100, including the one-year replacement warranty. It seems to be a nice printer, and it's pretty small for a laser printer. The toner cartridge isn't too bad, $65, and is supposed to yield 3,000 pages or so. Even with all online classes this semester, it'll take me a while to print 3,000 pages, so I figure it was a good investment.

Morgan and I were going somewhere on Saturday, I think it was to see Ducky, when we realized the Grand Prix's speakers had suddenly began to suck. It sounded as though all 4 speakers had blown out at once. On Sunday we decided to buy new speakers for the car. We spent more than I wanted to, but the rears sound awesome. I'm picking up the front set today; they were out of stock at the Canton store, so I have to run to Chapel Hill (Cuyahoga Falls) and pick them up. I also bought 3 DVD's from Best Buy. I couldn't help myself, they were only $5 each, and I had to use the remaining $15 on the gift card. Instead of using cash to buy the speakers, I ran to Giant Eagle (local grocery store chain) and purchased $150 in Best Buy gift cards. For every $50 spent at Giant Eagle, we receive 20 cents off per gallon of gas. On Friday I used our $1.60 off per gallon, and we already have another 80 cents off per gallon! Which is good, because the Grand Prix needs gas again. But yeah, cheap gas is good.

On Saturday it was 15 degrees below zero, and there are Morgan and I feeding Ducky. We stopped to check on her, and she gave us the "where's my food" look. So we ran to the store, and bought her some bread. Upon our return, I took that photo of her. Crappy camera phone photo, but you get the point.

I went to bed at 9:30 last night. Not on purpose, mind you. I laid down to get warm, and wound up falling asleep. I woke up at 4AM and have been up ever since.

Michael Myers tattoo tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7PM. It's going to rock the house.

Freezing, must cover up.
