  1. I know it is after Christmas, but maybe someone needs a good dessert for New Years. I had the most wonderful cookie/treat this weekend! It is very simple too. You take one pack of oreos and crush them until they are super fine. Mix the cookies crumbs with one block of cream cheese. Roll the mixture into balls and place in the fridge to harden/set. Finally, dip the balls into melted WHITE almond bark. You can leave them like this or for more decoration take another color and swirl across the top. OH MY...these things are the best! I heard them called several things, but when I made them I referred to them as White Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Balls. They are devine. Amie

Kmart has several online several at Walmart EBGames/Gamestop has several Circuit City has several 2 wireless controllers for $19.99 at Target Couple of others at target Microsoft controller $45 Bestbuy has several Hope that helps! Amie
  3. Really strange request, I know..lol! I came up with this "Time to get your ducks in a row" theme for my 8th graders this next 9 weeks. I would like to get them all a rubber duckie. I've looked at oriental trading, but before I order I would like to see if anyone knows of any cheaper place to look. Oriental Trading is $5.95 for 24. I need approximately 100. Any ideas? Thanks! Amie
  4. I went by our Lowe's yesterday (Georgia) and the containers had signs indicating that they were excluded from the sale. Amie
  5. I received an email from Hancock fabrics yesterday. They have a refurbished Janome 8100 embroidery machine for $799. The ad says that the regular price is $1699.99. I do not know much about sewing, so I do not know if this is a good deal or not. I thought I would pass it along just in case it is. Amie **Forgot to add, coupon says online only.
  6. What about a movie gift pack? Put a new release movie, some microwave popcorn bags, and a 2 liter drink in a big popcorn bowl. You could even do movie tickets or a pizza gift certificate if you wanted to spend a little more. Amie
  7. You should be able to track it. Go to staples and click on "order status" at the top right of the screen. After you bring your info up you should see "Track This Shipment" under the portion that has your payment info. Click on it and then you will need to click on "Track This Box" on the next page. That should bring up the UPS tracking info. I hope that helps! (mine took 3 days, which is a little longer than usual. Normally it is next day.) Amie
  8. That's a great idea! Cheap, filling, and can be snacked on while the new neighbors are on the go. Amie
  9. Cool idea! Here are the pics :) http://www.roadid.com/images/products_shoeID_blk.jpg http://www.roadid.com/images/products_wristID_blk_NEW.jpg http://www.roadid.com/images/products_ankleID_black.jpg http://www.roadid.com/images/products_pouch_red.jpg Amie
  10. On moving day what about taking over a bag of chips and sandwiches or getting a large pizza from one of the places with the $5 deals? Moving day is so hectic (especially if they are doing it themselves without the help of movers) that it is hard to slow down to eat. Amie
  11. Not sure how much you want to spend, but my parents were avid runners (marathon) when I was kid and I know that they would have enjoyed: subscription to Runner's World magazine gift certificate for a massage Timex Ironman type watch - (Runners like to time themselves) I also found these that might be interesting: Jewelry & charms for runners Does she have an ipod? If so what about an arm strap for her to use when she is running? A seat cover to put on her seat to protect it after her run Gift certificate to a sporting goods/running store (running clothing/shoes/etc can be expensive) Amie
  12. Do you have a Biglots near you? If so you might want to check out the Sauder video game organizer. It is only $39. Amie
  13. I added a box of paperclips. Once it takes off the automatic $20 it comes to $149.95. You must get it above $150 for the second $20 to work. Add something cheap like paperclips and it will work. Here is my invoice: Subtotal: $170.97 Coupon Total: $40.00 Delivery: $0.00 Tax: $7.86 Total Ordered: $138.83 Payment Method: MasterCard ending in.... Expiring 03/08 Shipment 1 Expected Delivery: 12/21/2006 via UPS Status: Shipped from warehouse Track This Shipment Call them back and see if you can cancel the order and then reorder with the code. Hope that helps! Amie
  14. If you don't mind a 17-inch you could go with this Acer. 17-inch Acer monitor It is on sale for $169 and it automatically gave me an additional 20% (said it was coupon code 9874 - it just showed up there). Then use code 99523 for an additional $20. I got this one last night for $131 and some change. Amie
  15. Don't forget to use coupon code 99523 to save an extra $20. Amie
  16. Just called my local store and they said that they wouldn't have any tomorrow.
  17. I just went to isoner's website and it looks like they do not make any gloves other than a fleece type in pink. http://www.totes-isotoner.com/ecommerce/control/category/~category_id=W.W.GLV/~pcategory=W.W I did find these though. Not isotoner, but close. http://cgi.ebay.com/ANN-TAYLOR-WOMENS-PINK-SHEEPSKIN-LEATHER-GLOVES-SMALL_W0QQitemZ270066692389QQihZ017QQcategoryZ105567QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-Gap-Pink-Leather-Glove-M-L_W0QQitemZ290060595809QQihZ019QQcategoryZ105567QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  18. I was buying some ornaments last weekend at Wal-Mart and noticed tons of pink ornaments. Have you looked there yet? My main tree this year is going to be various shades of purple/eggplant, silver, and black/slate grey. I'm still trying to find an embellished black tree skirt. If I don't find one today I guess I will be making one. Amie
  19. Do you have a Sam's Club nearby? I looked everywhere for a new tree this year - Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, Belks, and a specialty gift store here in town. By far the best tree that I found was at Sam's. I ended up going with a 9ft Peseta Spruce. It has 1200 lights and if one goes out the rest stay lit. It had all of the other prelit trees that I looked at beat by at least 300 lights. It is a beautiful tree. It is very full and has 2 different tips (it has 2,174 tips, by the way). It also came with a storage bag. Another thing that I liked about this tree is that there is a foot switch about 3 feet out from the tree. It makes it very simply to turn the lights off and on. The tree is only $143. It says that the tree is a slim tree, but it is still almost 4 feet wide. Here is a link if you are interested Sam's tree They also had a 7.5ft for around the same price. It was a full tree as opposed to this slim one.
  20. Brad and Ross, you couldn't have picked a better group! Congrats to all of our new Mods - both permanent and BF.
  21. Hi Deborah! Wow...you've got a lot of buying to do! I'm a teacher and I have found that many stores are willing to give you some of the things that you need. Call all of the office supply stores, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc in your area and ask if they will donate ANY of these things in any quantity. If they say no ask them if there is a way for you to purchase more than the allowed amount stated in the ad. I do this every school year for something. Last year it was pocketed folders with prongs. The limit was 10 and they let me buy 300. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. It doesn't hurt to ask.
  22. I'm so glad that you posted this! I intended to go in and set this up when I first got the service and forgot all about it. You post reminded me to do it. Thanks! Amie
  23. I've had SunRocket since the end of April or first of May. I'm pretty sure that at least one of those links Ross listed told about my thoughts. I absolutely love SunRocket. I have not had a bit of trouble since we got service up and going. I have only had one day where service was down for a little over an hour and that was because Comcast service went out completely due to some technical problem that had to do with extreme heat in our area. Once Comcast came back up so did the phone. My mom tried calling while it was out and then called me on my cell. She and I both got the message that all circuits were busy. The service sounds as good as, if not better, than my old Bellsouth. Oh, and don't worry about not getting the phones. They aren't that great. A duel set of the exact same phone can be purchased at Wal-Mart for $56. Let me know if you have any questions!
  24. Great deal! Unfortunately it is still showing up but when you go to check out it says that it is OOS.
